Leo Career Horoscope This Week: Fix Problems and Get Promotion
So this week my horoscope said something about fixing problems to get promoted, right? Honestly I usually just read these for fun but hey, career boost sounded good. Figured why not actually try it step by step and see what happens.
Monday: Spotting The Mess
Started by writing down every annoying thing at work on a crumpled Post-it. Turns out my biggest headache was the accounting software crashing EVERY TIME I tried to run monthly reports. Our boss kept complaining about late numbers and I was always the one getting side-eyed. Also realized I hadn’t asked for feedback in like… forever? Weirdly nervous about that part.
Tuesday: Poking The Bear
Decided to tackle the software nightmare first. Went straight to Larry in IT – you know the guy who always mutters about “user error”? This time I brought cookies and said “Help me understand why this thing hates me”. Shockingly, he actually showed me the dumbest fix ever:
- Turn off auto-sync before running big reports
- Clear cache every Wednesday
- Stop clicking like a maniac when it freezes (guilty)
Spent lunch testing this. Crashed only twice instead of ten times. Small win!
Wednesday: Awkward Conversations
Time for the scary part – feedback. Asked my manager Cheryl for “quick thoughts on my performance” during coffee break. Almost spilled my latte when she said “Funny you ask…” Turns out she thought I avoided complex projects since I never volunteer. Truth? I just didn’t wanna screw up. So I swallowed my panic and said “Give me the ugliest task you have this week”. She handed me the broken vendor payment file nobody could untangle. Yikes.
Thursday: Glue & Tape Solutions
That vendor file was a disaster. Four different formats, missing dates, duplicate entries – total circus. Instead of trying to force it into our system, I:
- Made ugly color-coded sheets in Google Docs (IT would kill me)
- Called vendors directly for missing info (“Hello, sorry you hate us…”)
- Stayed late with embarrassing amounts of pizza
Finished at 8PM looking like a zombie but it balanced.
Friday: The Weird Payoff
Put both fixes on Cheryl’s desk before lunch. Got called into her office sweating bullets. She stared for like ten seconds then said “You know we’ve needed someone to handle workflow kinks right?”. Turns out “Process Improvement Specialist” just opened up. Got the “we’ll discuss Monday” line but her eyebrow wiggle said it all. Promotion vibes? Maybe! At least my reports run now without wanting to throw the laptop out the window.
Moral of the story? Horoscopes are still kinda witchy but actually fixing visible crap makes bosses notice you. Still eating leftover pizza though.
