Yesterday's horroscope

Make the effort to do what partners and colleagues want you to do today, even though your heart may not be in it. By this time next week, you will need their assistance in things that are important to you, so be smart and get in their good graces now.

JPennant: yo
McClint: hey
JPennant: my horrorscope again was on target. scary.
JPennant: so, i walked outta the house this morning expecting today to be a simple day, turned into a long day
McClint: for what?
JPennant: eh, hadda keep my stubborness under control. Dont like doing what i dont want to do.
McClint: dont be obstinate
JPennant: i am stubborn
JPennant: takes effort for me to go with other peoples flow, even if it benefits me
McClint: that's being obstinate
JPennant: well yeah, but I can be flexible ... just stubborn about it :-)
McClint: hehehe

JPennant: nah, youre in the home stretch
JPennant: dont be stubborn ;-)
JPennant: cuz, as we know, youre nearly as stubborn as i am :-)
McClint: shiiiiiiiiiiit

Today's horrorscope

This is probably not the best of times to make decisions you may not be able to back out of later, so consider all the options and all the possibilities before deciding what you are going to do next. Better still, don't decide anything at all. Others may be annoyed that you are dragging your feet, but what can they do about it?

JPennant: im being noodged into taking a job I dont necessarily want
Glinessa: so then don't take it
JPennant: its an option
Glinessa: what type of job is it?
JPennant: job I did in college
JPennant: **** ****
Glinessa: beneath you
JPennant: eh, its good money
Glinessa: you'll be bored and will not do it
JPennant: im bored anyway
Glinessa: ok...then ask yourself this
JPennant: k
Glinessa: will taking this job put you in a better position, overall, than you are now?
JPennant: only if Im disciplined about it
Glinessa: will you be? is taking the job going to open up new doors for you to do what you really want to do?
JPennant: gonna talk to some people about my options
Glinessa: i hear ya

JPennant: im very good at saying no
Glinessa: i know ;-)
JPennant: heh

Glinessa: but remember, life gives you many distractions from the goals we wish to achieve...you have to look at each thing that comes up as a distraction or something that will get you closer to achieving those goals
JPennant: I wont know if its truly a distraction until I try it
Glinessa: then do it
JPennant: lets see what happens. gonna explore my options tho, do some reasearch
Glinessa: good plan

JPennant: I dont want to be fucked by going to a higher income bracket too soon
Glinessa: lol
JPennant: f'real
Glinessa: i hear you
JPennant: ive suffered too much these last few years to muck it all up
Glinessa: lol
JPennant: suffering is holy :-)

The only thing you can be sure of at the moment is that you cannot be sure of anything. If you need to make a decision concerning your career, wait until Friday when an excellent aspect will make sure you make the right decision. Don't let anyone, no matter how well-meaning, persuade you to act before then.

its not that i follow my horrorscope, it just confirms what Im gonna do anyway.

Although ... its kinda getting scary.

Maybe I dont need to know.
