For a start we don't have a Laura or a Gary - so I started to find the call rather amusing. So I told him and the call continued with him asking me why I couldn't see him was I stupid? So after 10minutes of him telling me that he was getting rather annoyed. I said which agency are you after? He said Dinosaur PR, "I have been on your website and it says" and I said that's right Dinosaur PR we are based in Leeds and York and he said no "You are based in Manchester!". Err no you are looking for a marketing agency called Dinosaur aren't you? Errr "Oh yes I am sorry!". It did make me laugh though.

Now that's what I call serendipity! When things like that happen, you've no choice but to see it as a sign. These incidents happen more often than we think... I guess we just have to acknowledge them when they occur. Good luck with the job! Wowsers! Now that’s what I call serendipity!

This hasn't happened to me by email, but isn't at all uncommon by text - perhaps I have an easily mistypeable number. Serendipity is all around us all the time though, for example: I'm leaving my job in April and was thinking while ironing a shirt this morning that I should get in touch with the director of a charity that likes and respects me, and who I know will probably have a task or two coming up that I can help with. One hour later I'm sitting on the tube and who sits down next to me? The man in question - who proceeds to tell me about an exciting new project they are planning and that he was going to get in touch to see if I could help! A quick handshake (and another business card from me - just as a little memory jogger) and I left the tube with a smile on my face today... What a heart-warming tale.
