well, funny thing just happened to me this morning. i go in every Tuesday to a clinic for an allergy shot, and today it was quite busy in the office. lots of people--mostly elderly there. I approached the receptionists desk to register in--and she mentioned something about my bill (i unfortunately always have problems with our current insurance company, they never seem to know what to charge me for visits. ) however, this particular charge was a valid one, and I proceeded to pay for it at this office rather then mail it in.
at any rate, talking ensued, and all of a sudden the electronics began to go haywire and not work, to which she said, "i don't understand this!" "I do", I told her, "I always have this effect on anything electronic. electronic things around me almost always won't work." anyway, she looked at me and laughed and said, "N**, are you psychic?" to which, i of course, answered honestly. "well, yes, as a matter of fact, I am." (though I don't think being psychic has anything to do with the electronic devices not working around me)
I could feel about 20prs of eyes from behind me from the people sitting in the chairs, (office is quite small) staring at me. the receptionist was caught off guard too, as she didn't expect that answer, but she was definitely intrigued. she then eagerly asked me, "Do you read tarot too???"
ME: "Yes, I do."
Her:"OH! Can I get a reading from you sometime?"
ME: "Of course! after my shot, I'll give you my information and you can contact me to set it up at your leisure."
HER: "WOW! That will be great!"
I then finished paying my 'bill' and went to find a seat, while the 20prs of eyes continued to watch me, an assortment of bewildered looks on their faces. I'm sure I was or am the topic of discussion between all of them and their cronie friends/partners when they get home.....as well as the topic of discussion among the office workers there at the clinic. but, hey! I have at least one new customer (most likely) anyway!
