Day 123: Coincidences

Ambiguity in the job world has opened a lot of doors for coincidences in the people I meet either through interviews or music.

While jamming with a couple of guys - one whom we met from Craigslist - we found out all of us had similar educational backgrounds in one way or another;

While in an interview for a part-time nanny position the mother told me the names of her children and noted they were all Irish.  I commented on how I was also Irish and she told me how everybody would assume her daughter was my own because of our matching hair color.

Just these little funny things that connect people are very interesting and amusing to me.  Whether it's a shared experience or a shared trait, I love discovering them with new people.  Perhaps sometimes we are too caught up in our own worlds, or too scared to interact, to notice that the people around us really aren't so different.

I enjoy this reminder.

p.s. I'm sure I misused the semi-colon but I just don't care enough to change it right now.  So perhaps I can also list "rebellion" as something I enjoy on occasion...
