Seek the oracle...

Back in the day when I had employment, one of the things I did for entertainment was drive to South Bend and go to Barnes and Noble, and buy a small pile of books. A couple full priced ones and the rest were usually bargain books. Anyway a book I bought a long time ago was about oracles, signs all around us. You gotta have an open mind and optimistic heart to see these things. This book been sitting on my shelf since I bought it, and I thought what a good time to read this. I like to read before I got to bed, and since I don't have to get up for anything the next day, I read until I can't keep my eyes open. So today I realized we are out of coffee, and I didn't have any money laying around, so I went into the garage and got enough beer cans to pay for coffee that's on sale at the closest store that I usually don't shop at. I took them to the store, and just as I finished up putting the cans in the machine to get my bottle slip, a guy I worked with was coming through the check-out. I told him I got fired and what happened that led up to my firing. He saw first hand what was going on at work, who was there, who wasn't, who was there when they should be. I told him about the unemployment situation, and he offered to testify should it come down to that. I didn't ask, he offered! He even offered to be a job reference if I needed! How cool is that?! Just when I started to feel really down about this whole thing, an oracle came forward to let me know I'm not the person at fault in this. There really are decent people out there who see things in this world of buzzards.
