SAGITTARIUS
(Nov 23 – Dec 21)
The Comet Swan, as it now passes through your zodiac sign, suggests that you are in the process of ‘shedding a skin’. You are in the midst of metamorphosis. In the moment when a creature first emerges from a cocoon, it can feel useless. It is neither what it once was, nor is it fully what it is about to become. It feels lost, bemused, more as if something has been taken from it than something has been given to it. You may have a similar experience soon, but just wait till you spread your wings.”

SAGITTARIUS
(Nov 23 – Dec 21)
To be a human is to be a seething mass of contradiction. It is to seek peace but to relish argument. It is to be forever wanting to explode in fury whilst struggling to remain calm and contained. It is to be open-minded yet bitterly prejudiced; compassionate yet selfish; strong yet weak; arrogant yet insecure. It is to smile while feeling depressed; shout while feeling afraid; and to act restrained whilst waves of passion surge secretly through you. This is fine. You are entitled to be inconsistent.

...asking me to head into a customer site to do 5 mins work. Yes. That’s right. FIVE minutes. Let’s just say that the extra-curricular work project I’ve been involved in hasn’t gone well. Not well at all. Despite the fact that we’ve had our best people world wide working on the issue for over a week. When the CEO of my company has been talking to the CEO of the customer’s company, you know things haven’t been going well. We’re currently executing a contingency plan.

Oh well, I hope it is only 5 mins work I have to do. If not, it means things have continued to go pear shaped, and it’s likely to mean another long night/weekend for me.

‘Spose I couldn’t ask for a better way to have my “profile” raised though, so that’s something.

_{and the worst thing is my friend P invited me out earlier on & I had to say no :-(}

It’s 1:20am Saturday morning & I’m STUCK AT BL00DY WORK, and will be for a while! Not happy.

I’m working to try to resolve a customer problem where the problem itself most likely doesn’t fall in my domain. I’ve already put in long week & now it looks like I’ll be missing out on my weekend too. It is important that the issue be resolved, seeing as I’m aiming for a job in the department I’m doing the work for, but I’m still not happy about it. As it is I’m expected to be on the customer’s from 3am Sunday morning onwards, regardless.

And to think I’d managed to avoid this type of thing up to now.

_UGH

Oh well, at least I have access to resources worldwide to help me resolve the issue - thank goodness for small mercies & all that. Tell ya what though - I’d better get something worthwhile out of all this effort….

_{rant over, that feels a bit better}
