Anyway, I get to the train station and see that the train I usually take is stopped because someone jumped. So I decide on one of two alternate routes. As I'm about to take my second option, something tells me to take the third. So I do. About halfway to work, I see something flash up on the information monitor. Yep! Someone jumped in front of the second option, which means if I'd taken it, I would've never gotten to work.

Considering that my other job is officiating weddings, I'm glad I didn't miss work and ruin their special day!
