Work may not be very fulfilling. It's possible you'll be given an unpleasant assignment. Instead of complaining, just roll up your sleeves and dive in. The sooner you finish this job, the happier you'll be. Chances are this is only a temporary arrangement. If it isn't, talk with your boss. Ask for these duties to be spread evenly among your colleagues. It's not fair to ask one person to do all the drudgery. If this situation doesn't change, start looking for a new position.

Don't let time slip away from you, or you could miss an important meeting. It may be necessary to cancel a fun appointment for the sake of work.

You may not realise it, but your amour really respects your opinion. Resist the urge to spend lots of money to impress somebody. If they really like you, they won't care how much money you make. A job which sounds too good to be true probably is. Stick to the tried and true.

You can't be all things to all people; so it's better to tell a client or lover the truth than set them up for disappointment. If you can't deliver something by a certain date, be honest.

Gardening, pottery, or jewellery making could be enjoyable. Working with your hands keeps worry and stress at bay.

Be sure to attend a social event, as you will meet some powerful people. You're a pretty solitary person. This can sometimes inhibit you from entering conversations.

People are always receptive when somebody takes interest in their hobbies. Be ready to discuss your favourite books and movies, too.
