My horoscope today:

"SagittariusNovember 21 - December 20Be polite and try your best not to impose on other people today, dear Sagittarius. It is important for you to behave well in all circumstances. You will find that people may feel as if they have been cheated, and though you may not be the source of their discontent, you may be feeling the consequences. Keep other people's issues separated from your own, and try not to let their discomfort bleed over into your world."

Well, it bled alright. Maybe it would have been better if I had read this at the beginning of the day rather than at the end. I didn't have a good day. On the bright side I got to yell at my boss. I was told this morning that one of my properties was not in acceptable shape and that the owners (who own many more) had decided that they would go with a new landscaping company. My defense was that I only get a little bit of time there every week and that this amount of time is not sufficient to do a good enough job. He didn't like this explanation and he then started lecturing me on future pay rates in future jobs and about how I could use this whole mess in life and that my now poor attitude was not helpful. It stopped right there. "Don't lecture me about life," I told him. I'm way too old for that. I could have had a much better day. I also don't think there was sufficient warning concerning this property. I thought I was doing my best with what I had to work with, really. Cheap m***********s all.

So now I have this tension headache that's starting to wrap itself around the left side of my neck and I have a limited number of therapies at hand. Maybe some day I'll have a job that I can excel at and be adequately compensated for. Yeah, fat chance, but I can hope.
