You're in the Bay Area, but you saw a psychic in St. Petersburg, (presumably in) Florida? (Yeah, Florida. The weirdos are always in Florida.)

Hi, everyone! It's Lysander.
Question: Why a brand-new username? You forgot your old one, it doesn't work (implying Jonsey deleted it), you forgot the password and for some reason using self-service reset doesn't work, or factor X?

my reading was that I was immensely skilled at my job and that it would make me lots of money, but that I take it too seriously and should relax. All true! She was remarkably accurate for most of the team.
Take a random horoscope and read it to someone who is not under that sign, and you'll find they can't believe how accurate it is. Let me take a look at your reading:
[*] "Immensely skilled at my job." I have yet to hear of anyone who believes they are an incompetent who is just skating by.
[*] "It would make me lots of money," even struggling writers who've been trying to sell any of the ten books they've written in the last five years believe they will make lots of money.
[*] "I take it too seriously and should relax," again, I've never heard of someone who didn't believe they take their job very seriously or didn't think they needed to relax.
Take a look at the subject "
cold reading" sometime. As long as you take these things with not a grain, not a pound, but a
kilogram of salt, and as nothing more than entertainment that is about as predictive as a Magic 8 Ball, you'll be okay. I don't want to burst your bubble, but way too many people get conned and cheated by psychics, tarot card readers, and other woo-woo snake oil peddlers. I'd say "fake psychics," and "fake tarot card readers," but that would be redundant.
Congratulations on your success, I hope you achieve your dreams, and you find what you're looking for in your life. I could have phrased those as predictions of certainty, and they would be as valid as a prediction of a psychic.
