The Wonderful World of Wendy


Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming - WOW - what a ride!!

The power of free association

Picture this...

In car on the way to work, crossing the West Seattle bridge.
A cool tune comes onto the radio.

Thought:
Chill 35 is my favorite station on Sirius (satellite radio)
I think on the interview I had with Oceans West Development a couple of weeks ago

Setting up the interview via email:
The girl who emailed me said their office is downtown
I said good, because I was tired to driving to Kirkland
She said oh, you need satellite radio for a commute like that!
I said I have been a listener for almost 3 years and love Chill, Big 80s, and Classic Rewind
She likes Big 80s, The Pulse and Free Jazz
I arrived at the interview with a Sirius satellite radio antenna dog (I had a few left in the closet from when I was coordinating MINI Cooper meetups and toting around MINI and Sirius give-aways)
My interview with Roger Nixon was rushed because he had to leave for a meeting.

That guy Roger Nixon never called me back I wonder if they hired someone.
I am sure glad my new job is in Renton - it's half the commute and none of this Seattle traffic bullshit.
Idiot!! **beep beep**
Some people don't belong behind the wheel.
I wonder how hot it's going to be today.
***cell phone rings***
"This is Wendy,"
"Hello, Wendy? This is Roger Nixon."
"Roger? It's totally creepy that you just called me."
"Is creepy the right word?" he asks.
"I was JUST thinking about you. I was thinking you never called me in again! And I sure am glad I took that job with the real estate consultant in Renton."
"Oh so you accepted another position? I haven't talked to anyone else but you. I've been busy and haven't had a chance."
"Yes, I did. But I was thinking about you. If for some reason it's not as I expect or doesn't work out, I will give you a call since you are going to need someone like me sooner or later," I tell him.
"Please do. I enjoyed talking with you. I'm sorry I didn't get back to you again."
"I bet it was the Virgo Vibe the made you call me," I said (he is also a Virgo).
"Yeah, I bet it was your thinking about me that made me call you," Roger said.
"Good luck with the hunt!" I hang up call.

Pick up phone again and call Stephen and tell him about the most amazing thing that just happened. The power of my mind.
