Woke up around 8 AM feeling kinda sluggish, remembered today’s Virgo horoscope said something about luck shifting after breakfast. Chugged some coffee while scrolling on my phone looking for that June 2 prediction.
Found it saying: “Unseen opportunities knocking – take risks before noon!” My gut reaction? Sounds fishy. But what the hell, emptied my piggy bank (yeah I still have one) and walked straight to Joe’s Coffee down the block instead of my usual Starbucks.
Here’s what went down at Joe’s:
- Tried paying with exact change like some damn challenge
- Dropped a quarter that rolled under some hipster’s table
- While scrambling to grab it, noticed their laptop sticker: “HIRING WEB TESTERS”
- Turns out dude runs a gaming startup needing QA peeps
Got chatting over burnt coffee. Showed him my bug-hunting spreadsheet from that mobile game beta testing gig last year. He literally pulled out his phone mid-convo – not to blow me off but to Slack his team: “Found our QA lead.”
Walked out with freelance contract work starting next Monday. Hourly rate’s triple what I made spotting glitches in Word Farm Adventures. All because some random horoscope told me to shake up my routine before lunch.
Crazy part? Almost didn’t check the stars today. After that disaster three months ago when Cancer season predictions told me “financial windfall coming” right before my bike got stolen. Never trusted zodiacs since.
But this time? Stars weren’t lying about opportunities hiding in plain sight. Guess the universe owes me after that stolen bike crap.
