I have this extraordinary ability to put facts together in anticipation of events. This was developed at a very early age. In fact, I used to wear a plastic headband with antennae, but have now learned to be more discreet. You can imagine how handy this becomes. I have been able to spot Xtian pensively assessing whether a girl is drapering material at a bar, and vice-versa, before the drapering even happens! Or, on New Year’s Eve prior to the unfolding of many shenanigans.
This is not so rewarding in the office. For example: there is a reorganization announcement pending. This will affect me. I have been spotting clues for months. It is going to be announced tomorrow to the whole company, since a spontaneous town hall has been scheduled. I feel pretty certain about this. I am not sure whether I am bothered by this reorganization and afraid of the change, or the fact that I am able to predict this, which means that these skills of mine are largely untapped and I should probably be paid more.
