Okay so today’s Virgo career tip from Cyber Astro was like “fix that broken communication loop with colleagues.” Tbh I didn’t really buy into it at first because my team’s been stuck in email tennis matches for months. But whatever, I figured what’s the harm in trying?
Gearing Up
Started simple after breakfast – grabbed sticky notes and walked straight to Jess from marketing. Straight up asked her why we never get clear briefs on deadlines. She looked surprised but actually started venting about how her boss dumps everything last-minute. Who knew?
The Awkward Part
Tried doing what the tip suggested: no complaining, just asking “how can I help you hit deadlines better?” Felt stupid as hell saying that corporate crap. Jess raised eyebrows like I grew two heads but then shrugged and said “just flag urgent stuff with 😩 emoji?”
Surprise Plot Twist
So I rolled with it. Sent our project email with subject line 🔥DEADLINE TOMORROW🔥 and that crying emoji. Next thing I know, Jess sends specs within TWO HOURS instead of her usual two days. My boss even pinged me like “since when did marketing move fast?”
What Actually Worked
- Stopped writing essay-length complaint emails
- Used dumb emojis unironically
- Turns out passive-aggressive = less stressful than real aggressive
Still think horoscope stuff is mostly BS but hey, I’ll take the W. Team meeting tomorrow might actually be tolerable for once. Pro tip: lean into the cringe sometimes.
