My laptop, the new one, has had a crisis yesterday. The screen started flickering and fading to darkness, and a high-pitched sound like something shorting out began at the same time. This happened just as I was turning it off after finishing work. I thought that it was 'shorting' because the power cable wasn't plugged in properly, so I didn't think anything of it. However, when I turned it back on again at home, exactly the same problem.
I was notified of a pay rise at work today. It was a 12% rise. Not bad, but still less than what I was hoping for. I was hoping for about a 25% increase, considering that my new job description in other companies earns 25% more than what I was getting, but I only got 12% more. I'm halfway there… I sent an email off to my manager expressing my pleasure at the pay rise, but also saying that I was expecting a bit more considering what my new role was about. I asked if the pay rise was open to negotiation or discussion. He hasn't replied yet.
While I was in Taupo last weekend, I spotted a new age shop and just had to go into it. In my explorations of the shop I found a bunch of crystals on leather necklaces, and remembered to when I used to have an amethyst crystal on a necklace when I first got into spirituality around 13 years ago. I had it for a few years before it cracked. I decided to get one again, to see if it would bring more spirituality into my life, just like the last one did. I finally got around to getting Deidre helping me to put it on, on Saturday (today's Monday). Or maybe it was yesterday… sometime on the weekend anyway! I'm curious what kind of psychic or spiritual development I'll now start to see in my life again.
