CAPRICORN
Even during this pleasant stretch of time you're experiencing, we've got some work for you, Cap. And you, being such a workhorse, will not let us down. We see you're still a bit attached to having crap in your life, still a wee mite attracted to suffering. We challenge you to cut that shit out. Get on it, please.

for all i've put myself through i really wish i had learned this much sooner. especially the suffering part. after interviewing for a weekend job on friday and starting work on saturday and sunday, i realized a few things. working seven days a week is NOT okay with me. the job itself was chill, but i realized i felt a bit broken after the interview. at the end of it, the office manager took a final look at my resume and said, "yeah, i gotta say, it's pretty surprising that someone with your qualifications has to look for a weekend job." i guess i could have taken that as a compliment, but instead it sorta made me feel like a loser.
anyway, after coming to work exhausted on monday, i made the decision to really develop my project management skills here and go corporate after all. i'll see how long i can handle the weekend gig. it's one thing when you're working two part time jobs, but when one of them is pretty hard core and full time, and the other eats up the only free time you have left, it's a different story.
