BEST ANSWER!!

I was hiking in S. America recently and was confronted by a bull. I whispered to it that I was a Taurus and it went back to snacking. Who says astrology doesn't work?

It's really odd how often Zodiac stuff does show up, given how few people out there really care or would have any idea what it's supposed to mean anyway. Once they find out your sign, they wouldn't be able to say what it supposedly tells them about you, and will never think about it again after that for as many years as they know you. They'll most likely even forget it within a week. It's just a word to hear and recognize, and then do nothing else with.

Yeah. I think next time someone asks me my sign, I'll tell them. And then when they say "Oh, okay," I'll add "so what does that tell you about me?"

OTOH it is very likely a trick question to see how you might describe yourself without having to ask directly (expecting a more honest response perhaps).

I recall once having filled out a similar 'profile' questionnaire at work which included inquiries reference hobbies, interests, favourite music and those sorts of things. Then, during a general meeting, the speaker (the boss) would 'casually' make 'random' disparaging comments related to some of the things that I had mentioned in the questionnaire.

The purpose was to identify employees who might be confrontational. It was a covert way of identifying assertive people who were willing to argue with their superiors.

I would strongly suspect that there might very well be ulterior motives for the zodiac question and many of the others. Nettiemoore has a pending performance interview, right? Think about it! Since when do employers really give a rat's backside as to what their employees really think, like or dislike???

I said on mine, "Thelev, the Weaver ... patience, perseverence, and attention to detail." No one has questioned me on it.

Darn it...

Wasn't Thelev the Andorian science officer in one of the animated episodes fo Star Trek?
 
"You tell me..."

I said this to someone once and she said - "Oh that means you're a... damnit I forgot which star sign you're supposed to say if someone says that..."

:rolleyes:

Plus - my super power: I'm actually an Ophiuchus... Yay!
 
UPDATE! Well, my employee profile actually had a positive effect. A co-worker just offered me a copy of New Scientist that was lying round the office, after reading my profile (which also included "Carl Sagan" as the person I wanted to sit next to on a plane) he said he thought I would be interested.

So that was a very nice result to brighten up a rainy Friday. :)

I love it when a plan comes together.

Name your firstborn "Brenton"...

And you thought no one would read it...

Always a good day when you make a new friend.. Is he hot? :p
 
He is my supervisor, actually. We already got on well but this is an extra bond. So none of that. :p

A blatant cold reading attempt at getting you to fill in the gap.
 
To Fnord: Thelev was actually a surgically altered Orion, not a Romulan. I should not be proud of knowing this.

Stand tall and be proud! That detail alone could spell the difference between winning a battery-powered tribble, or walking home empty-handed!

Thanx for the correction, BTW!

NO - I'm pretty sure someone had told her that and she'd just forgotten which star sign it was that was "always skeptical about astrology" (or whatever...).

Whenever I read the horoscope section, I don't just read the one for my sign. I read all twelve of them! I found that they all seem to apply to me generally equally well.

That can no doubt be attributed to all of the various birthdays in your past lives... :rolleyes:
 
In his book Arachne Rising, James Vogh revealed the hidden, 13th sign, Arachne, the spider: the auspicious sign of those born with psychic powers! (Actually, it was all a hoax by science fiction writer John Sladek, who wanted to demonstrate how gullible these people can be).

So, put down "Arachne" for your sign, and then dazzle 'em with your psychic powers!
