horoscopes

When I checked my e-mail today, there was a message from a headhunter offereing me a job that paid nearly three times what I make now, and was a thirty minute drive from home.

My horoscope tells me that my "financial future is looking somewhat brighter. Consider a better position even if it means making a residential move."

Horoscopes are so stupid. They are so vague, that you can find an connection between any horoscope and what's going on in your life.

Yep, that is what makes them so much fun to play with, they are ALWAYS right in some way.. and if not, you can MAKE them right.

Yup, but are you going to apply for the job?

[low-delta.livejournal.com]

Nope. He says it will lead to a manger position with in a year, which means I am way underqualified.

So apply anyway.

My favorite horoscope story: I was on my way up to the Chicago North Side from Hyde Park when a man in a suit sitting near me asked the 55th street bus driver how to get to the Watertower area. The driver asked me to make sure he got on the right train. So on our way downtown we sat together and made conversation.

It turned out that he was a professor of education at Kansas State, in Chicago for a conference, and when he found out I taught English he said he was looking for a freelance editor for his papers, and gave me his business card in case I was interested. Then he got off the train.

I found the back section of that day's Tribune lying on a nearby seat and started reading it out of sheer boredom. When I got to my horoscope, it said, "While on a journey, you will be presented with an unexpected business opportunity." I found it very amusing.

Ha! That's great.

My husband drives 1 hour and 10 minutes to work and when I was working at the bank I drove 45 minutes to work. We live north of Tucson and our jobs are on the southeast side (I10 runs along the west side of Tucson) so our commutes are all city driving. A 30 minute commute would be heaven for us. For three times the money I would definitely take the position.

I'm not into job-hopping, and I like my current place. It gives me a small sense of job-security. If they can me, I'll be giving this guy a call back, though. I really don't think I'm qualified for this one, so I don't feel like I'm missing out on a great opportunity, or anything. (Commutes bother me a lot, but since Cyn and I will be buying a house when we get married, location is not a huge deal.)
