First Thought About This Horoscope Tip
Noticed my Taurus horoscope this week said to improve networking skills for career success. Honestly ignored it at first – horoscopes feel like fortune cookies to me. But then got stuck on a work project Tuesday morning, remembered that tip, and went “Eh, worth a shot.”
How I Put It into Practice
Started simple: texted three former coworkers I hadn’t talked to in months. Just asked how their new jobs were going – not even mentioning my problem. Two replied immediately like we’d chatted yesterday.
Decided to try the face-to-face part too:
- Went to café near coworking space instead of my usual basement desk
- Complimented guy wearing vintage band tee (realized halfway he was our client’s project lead)
- Showed vulnerability – admitted my struggle with the project timeline over coffee
He nodded like ten people had told him the same thing this week. Explained how his team skips that step entirely.
The Aftermath
Next morning, client guy forwarded a time-saving template to our whole team. Saved me probably eight hours of spreadsheet hell. Friday got invited to join cross-department brainstorming group – heard about it through the coworker I texted randomly.
What Actually Helped
The Taurus thing basically pushed me to do what I hate: random socializing. But turned out useful because:
- People remembered me when opportunities popped up
- Casual chats revealed roadblocks everyone hid in emails
- Saying “I’m stuck” made others actually help instead of judging
Still think zodiac stuff is mostly vague, but hey – this one accidentally worked because it got my stubborn Taurus ass to talk to humans instead of spreadsheets for once.
