Friday 13th

 Are you superstitious? Do you believe in black cats, Friday 13th etc???

I'm not. I walk under ladders as long as no guy is standing on it, a paintbrush in hand. I don't think that numbers have any special meaning. I've broken mirrors (that's what happens when you have no feeling in your fingers) and not experienced seven years of bad luck.

Really! Just the same with horoscopes. Making one is not very difficult. Talk to a person, and you can safely make some predictions. It's a case of psychology, not superstition. 

My sister and I (both blessed - or cursed - with a high IQ) have the ability of putting a label on people, just on sight. And in 99% of the cases it proves to be correct. Yesterday evening, she and I were viewing a list of candidates for a new job at her workplace. As the eldest co-worker and the one with the most knowledge, Chris has a say in most things that happen in the office. So she brought the list of candidates home to have a look at it together. As you know, lots of candidates for a job add a photo to their CV. And from that picture, you can tell a lot. Of the list of 28 candidates, only 5 or so seemed worth a try. That's our idea. Just hope that one of them will be good enough to help Chris and Stijn to do their job properly. Now they're both sinking away in work and both have more than 100 hours overtime.
