DEAR HARRIETTE: I met a psychic at the supermarket the other day.
We were both in the production department waiting for the stockist to bring more vegetables. The pandemic has caused a severe shortage in some items, so shopping in the market has been difficult. We were able to share a moment together, talking about the challenges we face. She asked for my birthday and my sign, and she told me everything about me and my past.
She knew about my family and my struggle to keep my father healthy. I couldn’t believe the connection I felt with her; she felt what i’ve been feeling for the past year.
One thing we talk about and that I can’t shake is my love life. I told her about a friend who has left supplies and calls me all the time, and she said that the love I was looking for is right in front of me – namely, him.
Now, I don’t know this lady. My friends say it is crazy, but I need some advice from someone who is looking inside. Is the medium right? Should I ask this guy out and see what happens, or am I dying to hear someone who may not even be a psychic?
Psychic Minds
DEEP PSYCHIC MINDS: I must admit that I am skeptical of mediums. I must also admit that I know many people who believe in them. I myself consulted a medium once – and what I was told was very accurate. My lesson is that you must evaluate what this woman has said to you.
That makes sense? Is there merit in what she pointed out? It seems that your caring friend deserves your consideration. It won’t hurt to pay attention to him. You don’t need to read anything in the gestures, just be there. Watch how the two of you interact and listen to your instinct. It seems that this man is interested in you and you are interested in him?
Instead of being obsessed with the fact that this woman seemed to be in sync with you, consider your next steps. What makes sense to you? Be in the present moment. Keep your eyes open. Go ahead, if it makes sense.
DEAR HARRIETTE: The people in my office have done their best to keep our workplace clean. They are actively spraying all workstations and monitoring staff temperatures as they enter the building. They have done a great job – to some extent.
I know some coworkers who were sent home with a fever and then tested positive for COVID-19. Management did not send us a memo stating that our co-workers tested positive and are not letting us stay at home while trying to clean the office. They do this only when we are there; when we are not, they simply close.
I personally feel that while they have every intention of keeping the workplace clean, they are not handling it properly, leaving room for the virus to spread. How can we be safe if we are not notified of the exposure and continue to occupy the infected space?
Still spreading
DEAR STILL SPREADS: It is so difficult to control this virus. Of course, you are concerned. What you can do is bring your own disinfectant and clean your area before installing. Be careful when wearing your mask and washing your hands.
In addition, when you know that someone has tested positive, tell your coworkers and ask your management to alert everyone. It is okay to keep that in mind.
