Actually in the article it said that they're looking for Aquas too :]I would be so disappointing for them. I'm lazy and unreliable when it comes to work IP: Logged |

*Giggles* Quite a combo they've decided on. You'd think the signs should at least be a little more compatible in a general way.As a Taurus, insurance companies don't appeal to me. They require selling (which I don't really do well simply because I don't fancy the idea of pushing someone into buying something) and insurance industries are notorious for constant restructuring and layoffs. Me? I like stability. IP: Logged |

That Insurance company will have problems anyway, You don't want too see a Male Leo and Male Capircorn working with each other.Too much ego, I laught all the time in my class when I see a single minded Leo and Capircorn go at it. Yesterday, we were in groups programing in c# and it was so funny when I hear the capircorn ask the leo to rewrite the code, then the leo goes you can't do it that way. When the truth is you can write it another way, neither of then want to accept there wrong. I tell those two all the time you guys should be on the amazing race, lol. I doubt the other signs whould have been intrested in working in that insurance company anyway. each sign is drawn to a specific career more then the other signs. IP: Logged |

I'd be interested in seeing how the company does.(Jwhop posted this in LLC the other day.) Here are the signs: Capricorn, Taurus, Aquarius, Aries and Leo I agree with Thethirdbenjamin about keeping the goats and lions separated, but otherwise I think it could work. The only oddball of the group in my opinion is the Leo. It's the only sign without a neighboring partner. The other four signs ought to be able to work together. If there's squaring stress, just bring in one of the other signs in to smooth it out. One thing that does seem to present itself in this collection is that it would be easy to write off all of these signs as stereotypically looking out for number one. IP: Logged |

It's weird that they're going by sun sign alone. If you're going to discriminate at least do it right IP: Logged |

Moving on (sigh)... Know all I need to know about Austrians now, so I won't be coming in on Monday.Is this weird but: I always like finding myself out of work. I must be the only person whoever hugged someone when they fired me! I find it strangely liberating. I was in a job once (enjoyable) and the firm closed down and everyone was weeping copious tears crying "How will we ever manage?" and I (who by the way had just taken out a mortgage and was moving house the next day) was like "Woo hoo!!!! As a self employed person however I have to be dragged away from work. "Oh to be a Cappy, now the recessions here" IP: Logged |

bunnies, I totally agree lol I just found out this week that I most likely will loose my job within 3 months because they can't afford to extend it right now as the plan was from the beginning... The thing is I've messed up the backup-insurance thingy so I won't get any money until about 6 months from now either. And I have big loans... so, if I don't get a new (well-paid) job I will have to.. uhm, well, move back home or.. uh.. yeah, it would be a total nightmare! And I like my job and I love my colleagues! I've been there little over a year but when they told me they didn't have any guarantees for me after this ends in 3 months, I was like "yeah I understand, hard times right now..." and I was actually liberated! what!?? I have NO plan what so ever what I should do, but I have a feeling that it will work out just fine. Gosh, can I trust that feeling?? not sure at all, but.. I don't really care lol, cause this is exciting!!! so bring it on ha ha ha ha My point being: ENDINGS ARE NEW BEGINNINGS!!! ------------------ Ascendant: Gemini Sun: Pisces Moon: Capricorn Mercury: Pisces Venus: Capricorn Mars: Aquarius IP: Logged |

Nyah and others: the economy might be really bad, but at least we all know we're in good company and the focus of efforts to turn the economy around.I got laid off in December and have been looking for a new job for what feels like years. Am sadly getting used to being a Lady of Leisure. IP: Logged |
