Thanks for this, Kimberley. I hope no offense will be taken when I say that I did (and do) view the divination stuff with some cautious skepticism but I must acknowledge that your forecast for me, read last fall, has just about worked out with complete accuracy.
This includes the card that told me (in different words) that in spite of everything, things would be fine, financially and materially. Realistic lifestyle expectations have helped, to be sure. I'm glad that you've also rebounded well personally.
The bit about karma is on point. To get a little personal, I don't mind relating this anecdote, regarding a currently ongoing situation, which is that the hospital where I used to work is in danger of shutting one of its services, on account of - wait for it - not enough doctors. I had one or two nurses contact me lately, doubtless because they are in danger of losing their jobs, and inquire sort of roundabout whether I was coming back. (Clearly they don't know why I left.)
Anyway the point here is, I admit I had a moment of anger about this, in the vein of, "Oh, worried about YOUR jobs, are ya? How about all the other people who lost jobs, where were you then?"
But I quickly overcame this, realizing you can't harbour these feelings. It all sucks for everyone, no matter who you are.
The urge to take the vax comes from the urge to either enter or remain in the professional managerial class
Very interesting observation and may tie in with everything I wrote above. I mentioned in a comment at JMG's main site this week that I was essentially forced into the PMC (before I knew what that was or meant) and found I didn't like its narcissism and other qualities.
In this respect I believe I've been blessed in the same manner as Bilbo, who took little hurt from the Ring because he began its ownership with a pure heart.
There are plenty of corporate seats in the game of musical chairs that are currently open
Ain't that the truth. I spoke to a relative over Christmas who is in just such a position: his dream job has opened due to people "unexpectedly retiring".
