I was wondering if people here follow their intuition much. Or call it 'gut feeling' or 'the voice screaming DON'T DO IT inside your head' or maybe even 'conscience.' Do you all hear anything like that? Do you pay attention? How has it worked out?
To me, it's the feeling I have prior to some occurrence--can be as simple as 'don't take that job' or can be a little scary.
Scary example, one day I was sitting in the cafeteria where I worked, chatting with a coworker (Jan) who had some EMT (paramedic) training. I casually glanced to another table where one guy was sitting. I thought 'I wonder what Jan would do if that guy had a seizure.' Then the guy--about 5 seconds later--had a grand mal seizure. It was terrible to witness...but in a way I was sort of prepared and went and got someone to call 911.
That type of thing, tho, is very rare for me. In this thread, I mean more the little voice thingy saying 'do' or 'don't' or 'wait' or whatever.
