IT Career Horoscopes

HRHsoleil writes "If you're addicted to horoscopes, you going to love these Horoscopes for geeks." Mine was surprisingly accurate, thus proving beyond a shadow of a doubt the power that a gaseous orb a zillion miles away exhibits upon my laptop.

    If you try to stay in control, you will only set yourself up for disappointment. Let go. Focus on projects that will benefit others and show off your altruistic side. Your co-workers look up to you more than you think. Problem-solving discussions are fruitful -- as long as you don't forget to follow up your words with concrete action. This is a good time to take a second look at an idea you've previously discarded. You've got a new frame of reference and will be able to see farther down the road than most. Be sure to pay attention to financial responsibilities and investments

    Yeah right, the day "Problem-solving discussions are fruitful" is the day hell freezes over.

      Two suggestions:

      1) Ask her what PI is calculated to the last digit, then slip it to her when she's thinking about it.

      2) Tell her that you have blue balls. Tell her that the blue balls were her fault. Then, while she's suffering from CPU failure, slip the anti-grav units on her and slip it to her right before you beam her out into space. As a bonus, your best buddy will tell you that "your logic was impeccable."

      Hope that helps. As a last resort, you can paint yourself green from head to toe and tell her you tested negative for Rigelian fever.

    So, people born right after Christmas in January may have different perspectives on the importance of family, friends, and holidays (their birthdays being near the holidays) than someone born in June.

    They also realise the same thing when they do what every child does sooner or later and count back nine months from their birthday.

    Born at Christmas? Nine months from the first days of spring. Conclusion: Your parents hibernate.

    Born in June? Nine months from October. Conclusion: Your parents couldn't afford heating.

    For the record, I'm a Scorpio. Born in November, nine months after Valentine's Day. This is the reason Scorpios have a streak of evil - we have lived with the knowledge of dark lust from day one. :-)
