So last Tuesday morning I’m scrolling through Instagram with my cold brew when this Virgo job horoscope for April 2025 pops up. Normally I’d just swipe past, but hey – Mercury retrograde just ended and my inbox felt like a war zone. Figured couldn’t hurt.
Actually Reading the Thing
Cracked open the full horoscope around lunch break. Three things jumped out at me:
- Hidden conflicts surfacing around mid-month
- Reorganizing workflows to prevent burnout
- Unexpected offers after the 22nd requiring “extreme discernment”
Laughed out loud at that last one. Yeah right – like recruiters ever slide into my DMs. But the workflow stuff? Spot on. My desk looked like a paper bomb went off.
My Big Organizational Push
Grabbed three empty Amazon boxes Wednesday night. Went full goblin mode on my workspace:
- Dumped every loose post-it into Box 1 (“Sort Later”)
- Shoved random cables/mousepads into Box 2 (“Tech Graveyard”)
- Threw expired snacks into Box 3 (“Biohazard”)
Cleared off my entire desk by 11PM. Felt weirdly powerful seeing actual wood grain again.
Then the Drama Hit
Exactly April 15th – boom. Janet from accounting CC’s the whole department complaining my expense reports “lack fiscal coherence.” Meanwhile MY receipts proved she approved those craft store glitter pens as “marketing materials” last quarter.
Sent one polite reply with dated PDFs. CC’d her manager. Made myself close Slack afterward before typing “YOU LITERALLY SIGNED OFF ON GLITTER JANET”.
The Plot Twist
Fast forward to April 24th. Some startup founder slides into my LinkedIn messages outta nowhere. Wants me to “oversee creative operations” for triple my salary. Sounds amazing til I Google them. Glassdoor shows 12 people quit last month.
Told them I’d think about it. Then showed my cat the offer. She sneezed on my screen. Took it as a sign.
What Actually Worked
Honestly? The dumb box system saved my sanity. When Janet came sniffing around my desk yesterday looking for “invoice discrepancies,” I just patted Box 1 like a loyal dog. “Everything’s documented right here Janet.” She left in under two minutes.
Still waiting on that “workflow reorganization” miracle though. My boss just sent a 3AM email demanding TPS reports with “more pizzazz.” Thinking of adding glitter.
