Sixth sense

Most women I know have a sixth sense: female intuition; a force to be reckoned with.

I've learned from experience not to turn a deaf ear to that little nagging voice. It has become part and parcel of my life, warning me of potentially dangerous situations. It is yet to fail me.

Ignoring that little voice in the past has cost me dearly.

I dated a dodgy character of a man a few years ago. As the relationship progressed I saw little tell tale signs that I chose to ignore. I suspected he wasn't being faithful to me (all thanks to that little voice) but I chose not to believe it. I noticed certain aspects of his personality reflected in his behavior that raised a red flag but Ichose to ignore that as well. I blamed it on unchecked paranoia. I brushed the seeds of doubt into the background and proceeded to give the relationship my all. Needless to say the truth always comes out.True enough, he showed his true colors and I came to the realization that my initial doubts about him were indeed warranted. Female intuition could have come to my rescue had I paid it mind.

I compare female intuition to an innate maternal instinct; a mother can always sense when her child is troubled. Usually the subconscious and conscious beings are distinct; with the subconscious for the most part beyond our comprehension.

I would like to think that this sixth sense is my subconscious coming to the surface to communicate with my conscious being.

Female intuition serves as my personal guardian angel. Protecting me from adverse situations if I take heed of it's warnings. As is always the case, all is revealed in due course.

The end

Saturday August 29th, 2009

To say that I am frustrated would bethe understatement of the century. I surpassed that point right aboutthe time the umpteenth door was slammed in my face. So much for thatperfect picture I had painted on the canvas that is my highlyimaginative mind. The plan was to graduate and start the rest of mybeautiful life. I would have so many job offers to pick and choosefrom. After all I didn't spend the last four years just filing my nailsin college you know,

I actually gained an education. Well woop de do! Clearly employers didn't get that memo.

Everyonetells me I chose the right profession. "They'll be breaking down doorsto get a piece of you", "You'll get a job faster than a speedingbullet", "You'll always have a job"

......a few of the statements that have been thrown my way.

Well I must have wax in my ears, or maybe I'm losing my mind. Surely they didn't say I would get a job super quick?

Everypotential employer who has turned me down has fed me the same story: Idon't have the necessary experience to be hired without undergoing aninternship first. That's fair enough, but here's the downer...there arenot enough internship positions at the moment.

Pray tell how I am meant to get experience if nobody wants to hire me?

Afew weeks ago, I was up to my brow in deadlines. I longed for somevacation time.Well I got what I wished for and then some. Fast forwardto the present and here I am, a new graduate tired of idling around. Afew weeks of major bumming can get old pretty quick. You can only watchso much TV and take so many cat naps before you begin to feel like anold useless hag. I need something to do. I need a job! Preferablysometime this century?

Hopefully this week will be fruitful. Youknow what I'll let my optimistic alter ego take the wheel. Things WILLbe better this week.

Yes I will. Yes I can.

I believe.
