The Magic Watch
OK, I thought, while I'm sitting here eating lunch, I'd share something with all of you.
Ever since I started working, I have always worn a character watch.
One day, I decided that work was awful and things weren't going right in my life. In short, I wasn't having a good time. So, I decided to get a new watch, because then I might start having a better time.
Ever since then (about 20 years ago), if I wasn't having a good time, I've bought a new character watch. I really have to be at the point where I am fed up and at my wit's end, meaning, changing my watch is not something I take lightly.
About 2 weeks ago, Thursday, the strap on my watch broke. I had to wear a new watch. It was a Roger Rabbit 20th anniversary watch I bought in
Disneyland when we got married.
The day after, my boss met with me to "feel me out" about the job change. Then on Monday, after that (now wearing the new watch for 4 days) my role was changed.
I know this is just a coincidence, but it is a bit spooky all the same.
So, my advice is, if you're not having a good time with your life ... get a new watch.
