telepathy
ok, so yesterday i was sitting around the house as usual because i do not have a job right now - but wait that is not true because now i do have a job thanks to the awesome power of telepathy. here is what happened:
last week i went to an interview for a job to try to end my happy unemployed summer (it is almost autumn and it is less good to be unemployed then, i think) and the interview guy told me that he would be making a decision about who would get the job at the beginning of this week. i had not heard anything on monday so i thought that tuesday would probably be the day and i decided to use dirty paranormal tricks to get the job. as a science graduate i am not supposed to believe in weirdness and things but sometimes it is worth trying them out because they are not all made up by internet morons - some strange phenomena are based on things that happened to morons before the internet ever existed.
anyway, i figured that since i was not doing anything much i would just send telepathic thoughts to the interview guy telling him to give me the job. i can be pretty patient when it comes to just sitting around and so i kept doing it for about five minutes and then immediately after i had stopped the phone rang. ok, that is a lie, it was actually a few hours later but that sounds less dramatic. however, it was the job man and he offered me the job and now i am going to be working again.
ok, so maybe it was just a coincidence and he was going to give me the job anyway - i did not do a control experiment so strictly speaking the results are invalid. for it to be a proper scientific thing i would have to try to get a job telepathically without even applying for it or something. anyway, it worked well for me and i am starting work the week after next. it is perfect timing as i still get to spend the end of the summer drawing pictures and writing internet crap and messing about and etc without having to worry about jobs.
all that is left is to try out my new powers of sixth sense psychic manipulation on my idiot neighbours. NNGNGNNGNGNNGHHHHH, STOP FILLING MY HOUSE WITH YOUR GODDAMN BARBECUE SMOKE. ALSO, LEND ME YOUR CAR.
paul.
