Let me start off by saying that I am currently unemployed. Technically, I'm laid off. I'm due to go back to my job next month... unless I get my dream job in the meantime... Till then, I'm just being a bum... which has it's benefits. I get to spend a nice, stress free summer (well, stress free if I don't think about money!) relaxing and doing what I want, when I want. Needless to say, I've seen a Star Wars movie or two (or six... or more, counting the Clone Wars) since I've been off. I've been nothing if not productive!

Today, my friend Sue came over and spent the afternoon watching a movie with me. We had no idea what we were going to watch in advance, and I told her it was up to her. Without any prompting from me (well, without any obvious prompting!) she picked Return of the Jedi, the very movie I wanted to watch! To say I was pleased would be an understatement! I had given her many choices, after all... and no, not just choices of SW movies.

She never once picked up on the oh-so-subtle Force nudges I was sending her way... she thought it was all her idea! Imagine! It was nice to see that the time I have spent honing this skill over my weeks of joblessness has paid off....
