Cootie Girl: my horoscope today
5.19.2004
I'm a Libra and this is what my horoscope said today: "The honeymoon seems to be over, but you can't complain. You got a lot out of this when things were going well for you. If this situation no longer seems like such a great idea, maybe it's just a sign of maturity. If you're ready for a realistic picture, be honest about the flaws, and then stack them up against the benefits. What you see might prove that this isn't the end, just a necessary changing of gears. Now you feel a little foolish for what you were thinking, but mostly you're inspired to grow with the situation."
If I broke it down this is what it's really telling me:
(1) The honeymoon seems to be over - my job is no longer fun and full filling
(2) but you can't complain - be happy you even have a job
(3) You got a lot out of this when things were going well for you. - met some nice people had some good times, think of the positives
(4) If this situation no longer seems like such a great idea - I have hit a rut and now hate my job
(5) maybe it's just a sign of maturity - maybe I should look for a new job
(6) If you're ready for a realistic picture, be honest about the flaws - ok my job is not all that bad the people are great and the atmosphere is still positive (most of the time), it's just the work load practically tripled (again though, happy I have a job)
(7) and then stack them up against the benefits - I may be able to move into a new department with all the changes that are going on (this may be the key to my future sanity)
(8) What you see might prove that this isn't the end, just a necessary changing of gears - yes if I can get into the new department I would be much much happier (my boss knows of this plan, I have already set the wheels in motion), I also need to go back to school and feed my mind some more
(9) Now you feel a little foolish for what you were thinking - foolish is not the word I would use .... stale, bored, empty, like a machine is more accurate
(10) but mostly you're inspired to grow with the situation - I am going to do something out of the norm this year if it kills me ... and I will get that new position if it kills someone else
I feel much better now .... I vowed from yesterday on I was not going to talk about work anymore, actually BITCH about it anymore, this is my last post on work woes ... I was going to become a machine - do what I can when I am there and not stress when I am not there - work can't control my life, I won't let it. I am going to have fun when I am not in the office - I will not be the 24-7 worker. I'm gonna have a life damnit.
