Well, I was accidentally 30 minutes early for my appointment today. Oops. Well... Better than being 30 minutes late.

In other news, my horoscopes have been sucking a lot lately. Take my personal, based on my birthchart from astro.com today:

Intense encounters
This influence indicates rather intense encounters with other persons and circumstances, which will reveal many aspects of your life that you may not have understood or may have chosen to ignore. In particular, it signifies that you may have power struggles with others, especially persons in authority, in which you will be forced to stand up for your position. On the other hand, you must avoid being overweening and domineering, because such an attitude will only create conflicts that you will probably lose, one way or another. Be careful not to place yourself in situations where you could be subjected to force or violence. Avoid places with high crime rates, or take precautions if you must go into such areas. Sometimes you can inadvertently draw violence into your life without knowing why.


That's cheery.

What does overweening mean? That's a new one. Dictionary.com says, overweening means: Presumptuously arrogant; overbearing: had a witty but overweening manner about him.
Excessive; immoderate: overweening ambition.


Well, you learn something new every day.

I actually stumped the intellectuals at the workplace the other day by using the word, "aplomb". I was triumphant, but I had to look it up on the internet to prove it was a real word. Freaks.

Speaking of, I got a warm fuzzy feeling last night when one of my friends used the word, "conundrum" in casual conversation. Yup. I was an English nerd.

Jeezus, is it April already?
