Strange amounts of intuition

Thursday afternoon, I got a call asking me to come for a job interview on Friday morning. I agreed (pretty obvious I suppose), hung up and went through my mail to see what job the interview was for. Blah blah later, I don't know why but I had an almost certain feeling that I would not just get the job but that it would be good job and that I would get it on my terms. I was so certain about all this that I told 3-4 people about this "good feeling" I had. Sure enough, the next day, it was a breeze. I got along famously with my employers, I got offered a better job than I expected and I got as much money as I asked for. The stranger thing was, even as I was sitting there being interviewed (it was more general conversation than interviews), I had the same certainty all along. Which is why I stuck to my guns when they twice, briefly, tried to offer me lesser money.

About 10 days ago, my friend, whose hospitality I have been (ab)using for the last month and a half, left for Africa for work. When leaving and saying bye, she said she would see me when she gets back on the 2nd July. I told her that she won't see me at her place when she gets back because I would have a job by then and will be getting my own place.

This sense of intuition is something I had in very small measure till recently. But since a couple months, this feeling... no, sense is a better word than feeling for this phenomenon... this sense has been sort of growing. And I admit freely that at times, it tends to be most disconcerting. Suddenly, it becomes difficult to distinguish between intuition and fanciful thinking, and to some extent, also between fact and fiction.

There have been many instances in the last two months or so where my gut feeling has not just been on the target but has totally swamped it, this job business being just the most recent one. It has caused me to wonder about potential links between intuition and high intensity mental/ emotional activities. I have yet to come to any sort of conclusion or hypothesis though.

Anyway, on a more important note, I have yet to see my terms of employment. I hope I even get a contract at all!

Update:

This is 5 minutes after I published above. I called up my future office to ask about my contract etc. The big boss picked up the phone and told me that I and him and everyone else in that office is out of work since the company has just shut down. So much for intuition. :P
