I wouldn't call myself overly supersitious, but today's events unfolded right in line with a simple message I got from a fortune cookie last week.
After a delicious meal at the Bamboo House with colleagues last Friday, I got my fortune cookie with a simple message that read, "Opportunity awaits you next Monday."
Wow, I thought. That's funny because I've been thinking about new opportunities lately.
Fast forward to today, Monday. At lunch, I was called back into the office to talk to the president of the foundation where I work. There was a position that needed to be temporarily filled with our commission and they wanted to tap me for it. The person who does it now was needed to work on a special project for a few months and the commission turned to the foundation to support it.
So, I have a new opportunity at hand which I accepted, moving me away from the program I'd been working for the last year. Trust me, I had long been ready to move on.
It's amazing that all this happened after the little messsage from the fortune cookie. Now, I just have to play the lucky numbers on the back.
