That Bathroom Girl
Every time I go to the bathroom at work I see the same girl. It's weird. It's as though our bladder functions at the same time.
Or is there a deeper and hidden message in our frequent bathroom encounters? Hmmm....
There was this book I read a few years ago during college, The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield, which says that there are no coincidences in life, and that there may be a deeper meaning to what we may think are coincidences.
This event is also known as Synchronicity. It is an experience in which two unrelated events occur in a meaningful manner.
This idea or philosophy was developed by Carl Jung, who suggested that a larger framework plays a part in synchronous events. By this, he means that the coincidental events that occur is actually a manifestation of parallel events that occur in the past, that there is a governing dynamic that isn't necessarily governed by chance.
Jung's favorite quote about synchronicity is from Through The Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll:
"It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards." - The White Queen, talking to Alice

That happens at my office too! Except the girl I meet is from the office next door and she's ALWAYS in the bathroom putting on make up. I think she spends more time in there than in her actual office!
