Ok, so today I met with an old high school friend who now does tarot card readings.
Here is what was said:
She asked me to shuffle the cards, and hold them for a moment before giving them to her. She put them out on a set pattern on the table, and began to give me her reading of them. Keep in mind, while we are friends, we don't talk often, and she doesn't know a lot of what is going on in my life. I'll put her comments in bold, and my comments about what is going on with me at the moment will be regular text.
She told me that I was feeling very antsy and frustated about things in my life right now. That I'm going after things more aggressively than before in an effort to make changes. I feel that certain things should be in place for me already by this age, and I'm working to put them in place. I need to focus on what I need to do, but not push too hard, things are going as they should be.
I'm currently living at home with an 8 year old car, and I feel like I really need a place of my own. About a month ago I've begun going over budgets and pricing apartments and cars in my area. My plan is to squirrel away as much money as I can as quickly as I can. Once I hit $24,000.00 in my savings, I will begin the moving out process. My plan is to have that money there as a buffer, and once my current car goes, I will get a new car, but I don't want to move into my own place with a new car payment hanging over my head. I've found a few places that I can work into my budget, and it is all falling into place.
She said that she sees me becoming more involved with a bigger social circle, I'll be doing something different that I will enjoy a great deal. She said that there are great times to come with this, and that I'm going to meet someone who will pique my interest a great deal. There will be great compatibility there, and a great connection, so much so that it will scare me, and I'll be afraid of losing it. She said my instinct will be to pull back, and that I shouldn't. She also saw that there is someone coming to me that will try to take advantage of me, and to make sure I'm very careful with who I choose to date. She also said I'm too trusting. She also said regarding my date last night that Patrick and I can be good friends, but she doesn't see this being a very serious thing, he will most likely be someone I can have fun with.
In September I'll be joining a gay bowling league that meets in the next town over. It will be a great chance to increase my social circle and see what happens. As for Patrick, as I've said on my blog, after our date neither one of us had a bad time, but we're not sure about where this will go. There may have been a lack of sparks.
There are changes coming at work that are going to test me. The dust is going to be stirred up and it will take me a while to adjust to it. It will be a situation that I can totally control, but I have to learn to be patient and control it the correct way. There will be temptation to leave the job, however, I have stability there and have to buckle down and do what I need to do. She also said that there is an employee there that I need to watch out for. This woman is not malicious, but has low self-esteem and wants to be liked. If she thinks she can make someone else like her by talking about/giving up information about someone else, she will.
At my job we have Relationship Managers (they bring new business to the bank) and Relationship Assistants (me- we handle the day-to-day needs of the customers) and the ratio suggested by the company is two RMs to every one RA. We just found out on Friday that one of the RAs (Linda) is retiring. However, the bosses have decided not to hire a new person to take her place, which will save the company money. Linda's two RMs have been given to other RAs and I got one of her RMs, one who is very "needy" and will keep me very busy. Linda's leaving means I'm needed more than ever at my job, but the extra work and stress will test me. As for the woman she's talking about, I know exactly who she means.
