Lol, GD! Actually, I have known people to use numerology and astrology in their business planning. Addresses, dates to launch, etc..... people do it.

I like the number 22 for no good reason. I added 22 cents to the end of offers when I was looking to buy a house. Didn't make a bit of difference, of course. Just silliness.

Lol- whenever I see the number 22, I think of that scene in 'Lost in America', where Albert Brooks wife is frantically trying to win back their nest egg at a casino in Vegas.

Hey, for those of you who know mine and JW's (adopted) sister, Nice Bobbi- she just got a job, after a 4 month search! Jobs in the accounting field are few and far between, and she's been pretty stressed about this, so I am thrilled for her!

She had gone for one job- which had hundreds of applicants, and made it to the final three, only to lose out to someone who had more experience in that particular area. (An electrician office). The very next day, the guy's nephew called her- he has a business that was next to her old office, and her former boss recommended her for the position he was looking to fill. He called her, had her come in yesterday, and the job is hers! It's great pay, they use the same accounting system she is used to, and what's really weird is he had no idea she had interviewed for his uncle the day before. The office manager at his uncle's place wanted to hire her really badly (she was retiring, and she and Bobbi hit it off), and was bummed when her boss went with the other person. I should mention the boss hired someone else who didn't work out, against his office manager's advice, so he doesn't sound too swift. This actually turns out to be a better position, and Bobbi already knows a lot of the people in the office from dealing with them in the past. I'm beyond relieved for her- she's a workaholic, and unemployment has not been a relaxing time for her.

Yeah for Bobbi!

Hooray for Bobbi!
