So Monday rolled around and honestly? I felt like total junk. Weekend hangover vibes still clinging on. Spilled my coffee trying to scroll my phone one-handed. Typical. Saw this “Jennifer Angel Virgo Weekly” pop up in some group chat someone tagged me in.
What I Actually Did
Grabbed another coffee first. Needed it. Clicked the link while wiping the first spill. Read it. Okay, it said something about “careful communication” for Virgos this week and “unexpected opportunities if open-minded.” Sounded… vague. Like always. But hey, free advice, right?
Thought, why not? Decided to actually try following the damn thing for the full seven days. See if anything actually happened. Made myself a stupid little list:
- Pay extra attention when talking to people. Especially emails. Proofread them twice.
- Don’t instantly say no to anything kinda weird or new.
- Notice small stuff.
Tuesday comes. Boss asked if anyone wanted to help organize this messy client archive project nobody touches. Usually? I’d mentally groan and say I’m slammed. Remembered the “open-minded” thing. Actually raised my hand like an eager kid. Felt ridiculous. Boss looked surprised. Team looked shocked. “Uh… sure, Alex. Go for it,” he said.
Wednesday I almost snapped at Sarah in Marketing over a confusing request. Started typing a sharp reply. Remembered “careful communication.” Deleted it. Took a breath. Called her instead. Turns out she was just rushed, not lazy. Cleared it up quick. No drama. Small win, I guess.
The Unexpected Part
Thursday was the archive project. Pure chaos. Old files, weird formats. Found some disconnected client notes buried deep. Mentioned it casually to the boss later. His eyes lit up. Apparently, it linked to a weird complaint they lost track of months ago. “Good catch, Alex!” Felt… unexpectedly useful.
Friday, Sarah pinged me. Said that vendor I reluctantly talked to on Tuesday (remember? open-minded…) was actually pitching a simpler solution for our stupid software headache next week. Wouldn’t have even taken the call usually.
Did It “Work”?
So, seven days done. Complete chaos? Nah. World didn’t change. But weirdly, paying attention to that vague advice kind of worked. Didn’t avoid that email fight because of stars, I avoided it ’cause I consciously chose to. That archive thing? Luck plus looking. The vendor tip? Following up on something instead of brushing it off.
Jennifer Angel didn’t magically predict anything specific. It was like… having a tiny nag in my brain reminding me to be a bit less stubborn, talk a bit clearer, and peek behind the dusty curtains. That’s it. Maybe that’s the whole point? Or maybe I just had a slightly better week because I tried something different. Who knows. Worth the spilled coffee? Almost.
