How To Use Your Zodiac Sign To Finally Get Your Boss To Like You

There’s a reason The Office is one of the most-streamed shows. Something about a group of weirdos banding together in harsh conditions (doing paper sales, a.k.a. the most boring job of all time, topped with a super unprofessional boss) warms the heart.

Now, I’ve worked for my fair share of wild managers. (I won’t name names but one rhymes, fittingly, with Talon.) And as a professional writer, I’ve been assigned some doozies: write about air-conditioning sales (it was hot), interview the local tattoo artist about the strangest thing he’s ever designed (a Grateful Dead bear for someone’s penis), and the crème de la crème: ask women on the streets of Providence what they think of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s tushy.

But there’s something about rushing back into the office with a story to share with your work buddies that makes it all worth it. A shared giggle or glance over the top of a computer screen is sacred and should be savored for the times that a 9-to-5 can be soul-crushing. Luckily, the power of the zodiac can help you elevate the water-cooler gossip to, in the words of Cardi B, money moves.
