Hi everyone,
I'm currently working on my thesis and I'm facing serious challenges with designing my questionnaires. Every time I try, I realize the structure or logic isn't accurate enough for the kind of analysis I need. I am currently on my 6th design and still feels worthless.
Earlier this year, I lost contact with the few people who used to guide me through these things. I know I should... reach out to my supervisor, but I’ve been genuinely afraid to do so. Since I was assigned to him, I’ve found it difficult to communicate he feels very unapproachable to me, and that’s made me hesitant.
Now my thesis is pending, and I’m stuck with no clear path forward.

It sounds like you are under a lot of pressure, but your work is not worthless. Questionnaire design can take several iterations before it feels... right. At this point, reaching out to your supervisor may be necessary, even if it feels uncomfortable. Clear guidance will save you more time and frustration.

If you need help reviewing your structure or refining your questions, or any professional support, feel free to connect. And give a follow to stay connected. more

Hello everyone! I want some advice: our company got a new owner. The previous one was great, he brought everyone together and supported us. The new owner, however, can swear at people and treat employees rudely. Some people have already quit and I’m thinking about it too, but the pay is still the same and the work is interesting.
What do you think, could things get better or will I have to leave... after all?
Thanks.

That sounds like a tough change in leadership, especially when the new owner’s behavior affects the team. It is important to maintain a respectful... work environment, and it is okay to address concerns through the proper channels.

Mariam Adeyemi: I built Jobsyn to give people a compass

Female leaders push for stronger platforms, bolder risks at TPP Fest 2025

Mariam Adeyemi is a business leader, tech entrepreneur, and strategist with over 15 years of experience across the United States and Nigeria. She is the Founder of Techavilly, a technology consulting and training company empowering individuals and organisations with practical digital skills, corporate training, and IT... solutions. Mariam is also the visionary behind Jobsyn, an AI-powered career and skill mapping engine helping people identify career paths, close skill gaps, build ATS-compliant résumés, and connect with job opportunities.A passionate advocate for youth empowerment, women in technology, and career development, she mentors aspiring professionals and speaks frequently on digital strategy, the future of work, and personal growth. Mariam's work blends purpose-driven leadership with innovation, reflecting her commitment to helping people unlock their potential and thrive in a rapidly changing world.

Defining Moments That Shaped Her Leadership Journey

My journey across Nestlé, Samsung, Hilton, and AT&T shaped me through a series of defining lessons. At Nestlé, I learned discipline and excellence. Samsung taught me innovation and speed. Hilton deepened my understanding of customer experience, and AT&T sharpened my ability to drive impact at scale through personalization and digital strategy.But two moments shaped me most: realizing that clarity can change people's lives, and choosing courage every time my career required me to stretch into something new. Those experiences built my resilience and purpose, and they're the reason I lead today with a mix of data, empathy, and a genuine desire to create opportunities for others.

Inspiration Behind the Shift From Corporate to Entrepreneurship

My transition into entrepreneurship was inspired by a simple realization that many people struggle to navigate their careers not because they lack talent, but because they lack clarity, guidance, and access. After years in corporate, I saw the same challenges repeatedly, people with potential feeling stuck. Then I decided to build a solution that could change that.I started the journey with Techavilly, where I focused on empowering people through tech skills, and later to Jobsyn, my career-mapping and AI-powered resume platform. The journey has evolved from teaching individuals to building scalable digital products that can impact thousands at once. Entrepreneurship has stretched me in new ways, but it has also given me the freedom to create, innovate, and turn real problems into meaningful solutions.

The Vision Behind Building Techavilly

When I founded Techavilly straight out of grad school in Texas, United State, I was trying to solve a problem I saw everywhere - brilliant people being left behind simply because they didn't have the technical skills or confidence to compete in a tech-driven world. There was a clear gap between what the job market demanded and what many professionals, especially black people, and immigrants had access to.Then I founded TechaVilly (alongside my grad school friend, Omotoyosi Ogunbanwo) to close that gap by making tech skills practical, accessible, and relatable. We focused on real-world tools like data analytics, digital marketing, and business intelligence, not just theory but real world business problems so people could immediately apply what they learned. Over time, it grew into a global community, students from all over the world enrolled in our training programs and we are proud to have impacted thousands positively, empowering them to upskill, gain clarity, and step confidently into opportunities that once felt out of reach.

Core Digital Skills Professionals Need Today

The way technology is moving right now, I believe every professional needs a blend of three core skills to stay competitive. First is digital literacy, you don't need to be a coder, but you must understand the tools, data, and platforms that drive modern work.Second is data confidence. Whether you're in marketing, HR, finance, or operations, you need to know how to read data, ask the right questions, and make decisions from it.And finally, adaptability. Things change fast; AI launches a new update today and the way we work shifts tomorrow. Period! The people who thrive are those willing to learn, unlearn, and stay curious.For me, it's less about mastering every tool and more about building the kind of mindset that can evolve with the times. That's what truly keeps you competitive.

The Problem Jobsyn Was Created to Solve

Jobsyn was born from a real-life problem. I kept seeing people working so hard, applying everywhere, but still not getting the clarity or opportunities they deserved. Many job seekers didn't know what roles matched their skills, their resumes weren't aligned with what employers were looking for, and there was no simple way to understand their skill gaps or what to learn next.My goal was to create a platform that does the heavy lifting for them. With Jobsyn, you can instantly see where you fit in the job market, what skills you need to grow, and how to position yourself with an ATS-compliant resume that actually gets noticed. It's like giving people a compass in a very confusing career landscape.Like I said earlier, the goal wasn't just to build another job tool, it was to help people move from uncertainty to clarity, and from clarity to opportunity.

How Jobsyn Identifies Skill Gaps and Connects Users to Opportunities

Jobsyn helps users see their careers in a way that finally makes sense. When someone uploads their resume or enters their skills, our AI analyzes it against thousands of real job descriptions and industry trends or even the specific JD of the job they're applying for. From there, Jobsyn highlights the exact skills they already have, the ones they're missing, and the roles they're best aligned with.It's almost like holding up a mirror to your career, you see where you stand today and what steps you need to take to reach the opportunities you want. We don't just tell users they have a skill gap; we show them the specific courses, certifications, or experiences that can close that gap. And because Jobsyn is constantly learning from emerging job trends, users get recommendations that reflect where the market is going, not where it used to be.In short, Jobsyn gives people clarity, direction, and a practical roadmap to stay relevant and competitive in a fast-changing job market.

Guiding Principles for Ethical and Inclusive AI at Jobsyn

AI is powerful, but I believe it should be built with people at the center. At Jobsyn, three principles guide every decision we make: ethics, inclusivity, and accessibility.First, we're intentional about transparency. Users should always understand how recommendations are generated, why a skill gap is flagged, or why a job match appears. We avoid "black box" AI because clarity builds trust.Second, we design with inclusivity in mind. Not everyone has the same background, resources, or starting point, so our system avoids language that penalizes non-traditional career paths. Whether someone is an immigrant, a career changer, or a recent graduate, the platform tailors guidance to their reality, not a perfect profile.And finally, we prioritise accessibility. Career clarity shouldn't be a luxury. That's why we created low-barrier entry points, beginner-friendly features, and tools that work for people at different stages of their journey.For me, the goal is simple: use AI to empower, not exclude. Jobsyn is built to open doors, not close them.

Her Impact Vision for Youth and Women in Tech

I'm passionate about youth empowerment and women in technology because I know firsthand how the right opportunity can change someone's life. Over the next five years, I want my work through Techavilly and Jobsyn to remove the barriers that hold people back.For young people, my hope is to give them early exposure to digital skills, confidence, and mentorship so they don't spend years feeling lost like many of us once did. I want them to see tech not as something intimidating, but as a space they belong in.For women, especially women of color, I want to create more seats at the table through training, visibility, and tools that help them compete on a global level. If my work can help thousands of women step into leadership roles, change careers, or launch their own tech journeys, then I've done something meaningful.Ultimately, I want my impact to be simple: more clarity, more confidence, and more access for the people who need it most.

Top Qualities Every Emerging Leader Needs

From mentoring countless professionals, I have learned that emerging leaders need three core qualities to really stand out.First is self-awareness. Great leadership starts with knowing your strengths, your blind spots, and how your actions impact others. When you understand yourself, you lead with intention, not ego.Second is adaptability. The world is moving fast. Roles change, technology shifts, and business needs evolve overnight. Leaders who stay curious, flexible, and willing to learn will always stay relevant.And third is empathy. You can't lead people you don't understand. Empathy helps you inspire, influence, and build trust. It turns teams into communities and tasks into shared goals.

Women Who Inspire Her and Shape Her Worldview

Three women who inspire me the most are women whose journeys reflect courage, purpose, and impact qualities I try to bring into my work every day.First, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. Watching her rise to lead the World Trade Organisation showed me what it means to break barriers with grace and competence. Her resilience as an African woman on the global stage reminds me that leadership has no limits when you lead with integrity and expertise.Second, Michelle Obama. Her story of strength, humility, and advocacy for women and young people continues to shape how I show up in the world. She teaches us that leadership isn't just about titles; it's about using your voice to open doors for others. That message guides a lot of my work in youth empowerment and women in tech.And third, Whitney Wolfe Herd, the founder of Bumble. I admire how she turned a personal challenge into a global platform that empowers women. Her courage to innovate, disrupt an entire industry, and still lead with authenticity inspires my entrepreneurial journey, especially with building Jobsyn.Each of these women; different backgrounds, different continents remind me that impact is not about where you start but about the courage to redefine what's possible. Their journeys push me to build products and platforms that help others rise just as boldly.

What Makes Mariam a Woman of Rubies

I believe what makes me a Woman of Rubies is my ability to turn my experiences into light for others. My story hasn't been a straight line, but at every stage, from navigating a new country to breaking into global brands, to building tech platforms from scratch, I have learned to rise, rebuild, and keep moving forward with grace.

Her Advice to Women Navigating the World of Tech

I would tell any woman trying to navigate the world of tech this: you belong here, even on days when it doesn't feel like it. Tech is not about perfection; it's about curiosity, problem-solving, and the courage to keep learning. You don't need to know everything to start. None of us did.Take it one skill at a time. Ask questions. Find mentors. Build a community of women who can walk the journey with you. And don't shrink yourself, your voice, your perspective. Always remember that your experiences bring something to the table that the industry needs.Most importantly, remember that tech is wide. There's a place for creators, analysts, designers, thinkers, storytellers, and leaders. You don't have to fit into a box. Create your own lane, take up space, and grow boldly. The world of tech is big enough and better, because of women like you. more

Since I began my role as a Front Desk Officer, I’ve consistently strived to deliver exceptional service, earning the appreciation of my oprations manager and some supervisors, and they recommended me to the General Manager for recognition in all areas of my performance.

However, this recognition seems to have caused some tension with certain supervisors, like the house keeping supervisor and... the marketing supervisor who have expressed frustration towards me. Recently, the General Manager decided to replace underperforming supervisors, and with my boss's recommendation, I’ve been considered for a potential promotion to one of these leadership positions. While I am honored by this opportunity, I do have concerns that my advancement might be misinterpreted by some as a cause for the current changes in the team.

I want to make it clear that my focus has always been on contributing positively to the team, and I never intended for my growth to negatively impact anyone else’s position. I am simply eager to continue to learn, improve, and contribute to the success of the hotel.
Please let me know if i should go for the offer of taking the suppervisor possition? more

It's great that you feel so much concern for other people's feelings, but this is a situation where you really just need to worry about yourself and... your performance. The problem is likely that you're doing such a good job that those who haven't responded to this with resounding positivity and support, are only doing so because they feel insecure about their own underperformance, which your presence shines a spotlight on (at least, in their own minds it does).

You should change nothing and keep doing your thing, and when it comes time to accept a promotion, graciously accept it and then show them what it looks like when professionals are at work. You feel me, boss? more

Yesterday during an important meeting with some clients, I accidentally broke a glass and ended up spilling champagne on a couple of people.
First, the director practically burned a hole through me with his stare and now our accounting department wants to deduct the cost of the glass from my salary. And honestly, it seems like they’re planning to fire me.
But seriously, can someone really lose... his job over such a small thing? It could happen to anyone, right?

If you are let go, it isn't going to for breaking a champagne glass. That incident was just an easy scapegoat that serves to ease everyone else's... anxiety about confronting whatever the real reason is.

I'm not saying that the real reason is any more valid than what you're attributing it to be, or pretending that I know anything at all about your coworkers or your relationships with them so as to understand the tone they seem to have taken with you.

It's just that human beings are notorious for this exact flavor of cop out in the face of conflict. Many will find it easier to blame an embarrassing champagne mishap than deliver critical feedback because that kind of honesty requires an uncomfortable degree of vulnerability that most people aren't able or willing to demonstrate in a work setting.

Anyway, sorry duder. That situation sounds really awful. But if you do end up getting fired in the near term, it's definitely not about the champagne. more

Career Closet Pop-Up provides free professional attire for students

On November 19, 2025, The University Career Center hosted the Career Closet Pop-Up, an event where student could pick up free dress clothes, at the Erb Memorial Union, at University of Oregon, based in Eugene, Ore.

The Career Center and the Student Sustainability Center held a Career Closet Pop-Up in the Erb Memorial Union on Nov. 19. The pop-up offered free professional attire that students can... use for job interviews.

The event allowed students to take up to three items of professional attire and one accessory, free of charge.

"We want students to be able to go into an interview and feel their best, and we don't want money to have to be an issue for that," Maddy Nelson, a career readiness technology manager for the career center, said.

Nelson got involved with the Career Closet when she was a student at UO, before graduating in 2024.

"I also grew up in a home with a single dad who had actually passed away my senior year, so I had no one to lean on to get an outfit that was interview-ready," Nelson said. "And so, growing up that way, I wanted students to be able to have an outfit -- or multiple, if we can get them coming back -- where they can go into their job interview and just feel their best self."

The event offered several articles of clothing, such as slacks, blouses, button-downs and ties. Volunteers were available to assist students with style options.

"(These events are important) mostly because it's so accessible; you don't need to pay or anything. A lot of business casual or just business clothing is so expensive, so coming here where it's free is awesome," freshman Lucy Fromm said.

Many of the clothes came from student and staff donations across campus, as well as from UO alumni. more

Cayman interns access high-impact technology roles

In an era where internships often mean coffee runs and shadowing, one Cayman-based internship programme is setting a new standard.

This year, New Frontier Data SEZC, in collaboration with the Enterprise Cayman's Internship Programme at Cayman Enterprise City (CEC), launched an intensive internship designed for impact. Within weeks, four Caymanian students contributed directly to high-profile... international business strategy.

The new internship programme, housed within New Frontier Data's Grand Cayman operations, selected four standout students including Amarah Adam, Ethan Harper, Gabriel Mathura, and Chad Owens, to take part in a fast-paced, professionally structured initiative rooted in real client work.

"These interns weren't padding résumés; they were building them with measurable results," said Gary Allen, CEO of New Frontier Data SEZC.

"We didn't bring them in to learn about data, we brought them in to use it, to solve problems that matter, for companies that move billions in annual revenue. This is what meaningful workforce development looks like. It's not about theoretical learning, it's about showing young Caymanians that they can do real work at the highest levels and giving them the tools to prove it."

From classroom to command line

The interns began with a rigorous onboarding period, completing over 70 hours of structured training via Codecademy. Courses included: Data Science Foundations, Learn Python for Data Science, and Principles of Data Literacy.

This foundational work was quickly followed by hands-on project integration, giving each student access to live data environments through isolated Snowflake sandboxes and NXTeck's proprietary identity and location graph.

One of the Interns' first major assignments was supporting a strategic data pitch to U.S. retail giant JCPenney. This project placed the students at the center of a high-stakes business initiative, giving them the opportunity to apply their newly acquired skills to real-world challenges.

Working alongside the New Frontier Data team, the interns contributed to several critical components of the pitch, including:

* Modelling foot traffic patterns between JCPenney and its competitors across the United States.

* Analysing audience reachability by location using proprietary consumer identity data.

* Defining "top" and "bottom" performing stores to identify improvement opportunities.

* Visualising campaign effectiveness and preparing supporting materials for live client delivery.

The impact of their work was immediate and impressive. "The JCPenney executive leading the meeting was so impressed with the quality and depth of the analysis that they specifically requested to meet the interns directly," noted Allen. "A rare and valuable opportunity for students at any stage of their career."

Each intern was able to introduce themselves, share their contributions, and gain first-hand exposure to C-suite decision-making at a Fortune 500 company.

Cayman's business community steps up

The success of the Internship Programme was made possible through the support of Enterprise Cayman and CEC, who provided the space and resources needed to host the interns.

Additional community partners played a vital role in ensuring the interns had the tools and exposure to succeed. OfReg sponsored lunch for the interns for the entire summer, ensuring they had the resources and support to focus fully on their work.

Equally important was the decision to connect interns with Caymanian business leaders. EY, Foster's, MyRealtor, and Hurley's each hosted presentations and interactive sessions to showcase how they use data to drive their own operations, giving interns a broader view of how analytics powers business in diverse industries.

Alyssa Manderson, Enterprise Cayman Programme Manager noted, "The collaboration with New Frontier Data shows what's possible when we link knowledge-building with real-world experiences. These students didn't just learn, they delivered."

A new standard for local talent

The internship program concluded leaving each student with a portfolio of real-world experience and international exposure few their age can claim. "For New Frontier Data SEZC, this is just the beginning of a long-term commitment to building local expertise in data science, artificial intelligence, and advanced analytics," added Allen.

With expanding partnerships and growing demand for data intelligence across industries, the firm hopes to continue scaling this model, creating a true pathway from education to career.

Yesterday I went to an interview for a junior economist position. They offered me to work for a month or two for free like an internship, and then, if a vacancy opens up, they might hire me.
Is this some kind of scam? The company seems respectable, but I don’t understand why they’re holding interviews if there isn’t an actual job available.

Job candidate turns down a company after accepting another offer, and their recruiter responds with a rant belittling their experience: 'All that bitterness just because a candidate chose another company?'

Job hunting really does bring out some wild behavior in people who love to say synergy. This candidate wraps up a successful search, signs with one company, then does the polite thing and lets the others know it is a no. One recruiter reacts by asking for a quick video call to present a better offer. Sounds flattering. Sounds promising. Instead, it turns into a fifteen-minute ego tantrum in... business casual.

The call is all posture and no numbers. Rather than actually presenting a counter, the recruiter starts poking holes in the candidate's experience, talking up the company's top-tier culture, and hinting that the role might be too advanced anyway. It is the professional version of asking someone out, getting rejected, then claiming they were not that attractive in the first place. The cherry on top is the offer to keep the CV on file in case something entry-level opens up later, like that is some kind of favor. more

I already bring mid-level experience to the table, but I need help refining how that value is presented and where it reaches hiring managers. Here's what I'd like us to accomplish together: * Polish my existing résumé so it... speaks directly to finance recruiters, uses the correct keywords, and passes Applicant Tracking Systems. * Draft a versatile cover letter template that I can tailor quickly for individual roles. * Optimise my LinkedIn profile to mirror the résumé, strengthen professional branding, and increase inbound messages from finance head-hunters. * Identify relevant full-time openings, analyse their requirements, and prioritise the ones that align with my background and growth goals. * Provide interview preparation tips or mock sessions once callbacks start coming in. I'm open to proven methodologies and tools -- whether that's ATS-friendly formatting, keyword research software, or data-driven job-boards -- as long as the approach stays practical and measurable. If you have recent success stories placing mid-level candidates in finance roles, all the better.

Your horoscope for Nov 21-27

Your spot-on horoscope for work, money and relationship from Guru by the Bangkok Post's famously accurate fortune teller. Let's see how you will fare this week and beyond.

♈ Aries

Mar 21 - Apr 19

(⏰) If a project seems to go nowhere, fresh solutions will surface and things will pick up pace fast. Small glitches and miscommunications may test your patience. Higher-ups may step in with extra... support. A surprise challenge may turn into a growth opportunity.

(₿) Expect good news or support from family or an old friend. Your long-nurtured talent suddenly inspires fresh earning potential. Financial negotiations might drag on, but the outcome will be in your favour. Safe assets and investments bring you peace of mind.

(♥) Fights are very unlikely while harmony will be on the rise, resulting in more laughter and calm nights together. You two may see each other in a new light. An unexpected occurrence could nudge you both into making big decisions about shared assets or living situations.

(⚤) You may feel your pulse quicken as sparks fly with someone already spoken for, either a married colleague or a taken friend. You may think that it's "meant to be", but it's a big no. Listen to your head, not your heart.

♉ Taurus

Apr 20 - May 20

(⏰) A shake-up will throw you into overdrive, but you'll handle the chaos with mental sharpness and clear communication. A surprise offer to move to another department, relocate or join a new organisation may land on your desk, albeit with little time to decide. Entrepreneurs, a new niche or international partner is on the cards.

(₿) Extra cash from a new side gig is possible, so be prepared for any opportunities. You can easily cover everyday expenses. A friend may ask for a loan, but you should lend them only if you don't expect them to repay you.

(♥) Outside pressures will likely seep into your love life. Whether it's work chaos or family drama, something will demand attention and pull focus from your relationship. Honest and gentle conversations will keep your bond steady.

(⚤) Already seeing someone? You may lose interest in them. You might be fascinated by someone unexpected, perhaps a foreigner, a single parent or a type far from your usual. However, you may wonder whether you two actually fit. Only time can tell.

♊ Gemini

May 21 - Jun 20

(⏰) A pile of tasks may land on your desk unexpectedly. A client or higher-up who recognises your talent may trust you with a major project. You'll tackle it head-on while your creativity, focus and productivity are at their peaks. Job hunting? An opportunity in healthcare, insurance or education may come up.

(₿) A surprise windfall or thoughtful gift could land in your lap. Someone in your professional circle may drop a golden opportunity. Financial negotiations will soon wrap up and contracts will be promptly signed. Guard your wallet against spiritual scams, Yolo spending and influencer-recommended deals.

(♥) Your schedules may clash, but the bond remains strong. You two make the most of the time that you get to spend together. New experiences will inject playful and lively energy into your relationship. Your sexy time may be less frequent, but it's spicy every time.

(⚤) A change of scene or a dating app swipe might ignite an exciting connection with someone new. A hook-up is likely to happen right away and, once you part ways, the passion will fizzle out in no time, leaving you with only a steamy memory.

♋ Cancer

Jun 21 - Jul 22

(⏰) Communication mix-ups may happen, so double-check your emails and chats. Be ready for intense meetings and brainstorming sessions where ideas clash but breakthroughs follow. Frictions can fuel growth, fresh vision and renewed momentum. Sudden competition may appear to unlock doors to golden opportunities.

(₿) A friend from afar might drop good news. Travel may bring an unexpected windfall. Financial talks are going in your favour and money comes into your wallet much more than it goes out. Resist urges to splurge. Looking up videos of people being in debt can help.

(♥) Conversations with your partner will be smooth, making plans together feel effortless and exciting. Fresh adventures and playful vibes will bring you closer, deepening your connection. Your partner may bring a sweet surprise -- a thoughtful gift, a loving gesture or even a proposal.

(⚤) You may find love unexpectedly through fun activities or glittery nights out. However, you will soon realise many differences between you and them that may not be compatible. Dating app users, watch out for scammers with sexy profile pics.

With colleagues and clients on your side, your results will exceed the standard bar. Pitching or job interview this week? Only good news awaits.

(₿) The payment that you're chasing will finally drop into your bank account. Money comes into your wallet much more than it goes out. You find it easier to manage your earnings, expenses and debts. Expect relief, renewed confidence and a clearer path to financial freedom.

(♥) Communication with your partner flows smoothly as choices of words are clearer and more heartfelt. A heart-to-heart will melt away old misunderstandings. If family drama has been casting shadows over your relationship, expect to see a satisfying resolution.

(⚤) Single life won't feel boring and you aren't looking to be in a relationship right now. Still, an older female friend may play Cupid, introducing you to someone who seems to be a perfect match. Your natural charm will also turn heads at work or the gym. Keep doing you and stay open for romantic possibilities.

♍ Virgo

Aug 23 - Sept 22

(⏰) Communication breakdowns and nitpicky details result in added pressure. You'll feel like your colleagues don't get what you're pushing for, and a bigwig might strong-arm you into unfavourable deals or deadlines. Fate is setting the stage for you to sharpen your problem-solving skills and flex your resilience.

(₿) A friendly auntie or big sis in your circle might hook you up with a money-making opportunity, unlock an extra income stream or help you seal a sweet deal. Keep your emotions in check when shopping. Retail therapy and instant gratification could drain your cash quicker than you realise.

(♥) You two know when to get each other personal space and time. There's no need to be joined at the hip all the time. Heart-to-heart conversations will reveal what really matters in your relationship. A big decision about money and housing may have to be made together.

(⚤) A well-meaning friend or cousin could play matchmaker, pairing you up with someone who seems perfect on paper. But the spark may never ignite, leaving you polite in words but meh in your heart. A swipe or DM might spark a meetup, yet the thrill could fade once you meet them IRL without any filter (or photo editing).

♎ Libra

Sept 23 - Oct 22

(⏰) It pays to be patient. Expect tech glitches and messy communication, with colleagues or higher-ups misreading things and causing re-dos and delays. Amid the chaos, a bold new challenge emerges and promises lucrative rewards. From Nov 25-26, be mindful of any crucial documents in your possession.

(₿) The money you already forgot about will come your way. Someone close will tell you about a great opportunity before anyone else. A financial negotiation may drag on due to paperwork but it still stays the course. Save more as unexpected fines or fees may be around the corner.

(♥) Expect quality conversations and Insta-worthy moments. Outsiders will look up to you both as their couple goals. Parents and relatives may nudge you two about getting married or procreating. However, you two stick to your pace.

(⚤) You'll be craving connection and ready to ditch single life. Still, the path to find someone may feel like a maze of mixed signals and confusing conversations. Your date may expect to pick up the tab before you asked them out.

♏ Scorpio

Oct 23 - Nov 21

(⏰) You know who are drama queens and energy vampires in your office and stay away from them. Their comeuppances are coming so have your popcorn ready. Unexpected shifts and cutting-edge tools will streamline your modus operandi and boost your wins. A higher-up may assign you a big task, hinting at career growth ahead. Entrepreneurs, expect a new niche or partnership with someone abroad.

(₿) An enticing offer or fresh project will likely land on your desk. A money opportunity you once missed out on could come back. A surprise windfall might land in your lap. You keep your spending and savings in check on track with your long-term goals.

(♥) Conversations with your partner will lighten up, opening doors to fun adventures. Playful energy will spark deeper closeness, bringing Insta-worthy moments and inspiring a shared dream. Unmarried couples may bring up their plan to wed before their parents.

(⚤) An unexpected spark might be ignited through a dating app. An old flame could reignite and make your heart skip a beat. You're unsure of how to deal with these two romantic choices. Explore both with caution and you'll soon find out the answer.

♐ Sagittarius

Nov 22 - Dec 21

(⏰) You're better at reading the office dynamics. Someone influential will quietly have your back and you'll snag insider info that keeps you ahead of the game. An unexpected change will turn into your advantage or unlock some perks. A business pitch coming up? Prepare to answer hard questions.

(₿) You'll find ways to monetise your skills or talents. You know your wants from your needs and spend nothing on your wants this week. A friend might ask for cash, but lending could mean a permanent goodbye.

(♥) You may wonder whether you and your partner are on the same path. Communication with them will need extra patience and care. Avoid comparisons in terms of careers, success, roles or the Insta-perfect lives of other couples. One careless word could snowball into a fight where you both say things you'll regret.

(⚤) You may fall for someone your friend also likes. But they might be more into your friend than you. Don't let envy ruin your friendship. A smooth talker may approach you but they might be after your wallet, not your heart.

♑ Capricorn

Dec 22 - Jan 19

(⏰) Your exceptional grind puts you in the spotlight with the recognition you truly deserve. You'll be riding high on confidence and energy, tackling tough projects and unexpected hurdles smoothly. Your professional circle is expanding in all the right directions. New collaborations and connections are brewing to possibly unlock your next career chapter.

(₿) Financial decisions you made in the past will pay off in solid returns. Some surprise cash could come your way. Pay/rate talks will likely conclude in your favour. Watch out for Yolo spending.

(♥) You may start a secret affair, but manage to keep your partner blissfully unaware. Still, your love and loyalty for them will hold strong as you balance secret thrills with quality time and heartfelt talks with your main squeeze.

(⚤) Already seeing someone? You might slowly ghost them. Someone new will inject excitement into your life but first impressions could be misleading. Look out for red flags. Several dates can thin your wallet significantly.

♒ Aquarius

Jan 20 - Feb 18

(⏰) You'll juggle priorities, people and resources with efficiency. Your goals will line up clearly and you'll see real progress with tangible results. Expect your boss to drop a big project on your desk. This isn't just extra work; it's a test to see if you're worthy of the next promotion. You'll gain insider insights into how your organisation (and industry) really operates, plus you'll build some valuable new connections along the way.

(₿) Expect to win a prize from a game or contest, or see extra cash coming your way. A pay or salary negotiation will tilt in your favour. You can easily cover both your usual and unexpected bills. Just avoid lending money or guaranteeing anyone's debt. It's not worth the future headache.

(♥) Expect a beautiful shift in how you and your partner connect. Your vibes sync so well that one emoji or glance feels like a full conversation. You two could be each other's comfort zone. Expect heartfelt chats about moving in, getting engaged or tying the knot.

(⚤) You'll catch the attention of someone whose lifestyle and background differ wildly from yours in more than one way. The chemistry will feel instant, almost cinematic, and you'll be intrigued by one another. Don't overthink things. Just enjoy getting to know each other.

♓ Pisces

Feb 19 - Mar 20

(⏰) An opportunity to level up tech tricks and soft skills awaits. You'll handle sudden changes without breaking a sweat. Your quick decisions will lead to wins that catch the eyes of higher-ups and clients who want more of what you deliver. Fate may steer you to encounters that unlock new allies, inspiration and lucrative opportunities ahead.

(₿) Financial talks may stall or shift direction, yet you'll land a better-than-expected deal. Surprise costs could show up. Lady Luck's on vacation. Your network of friends and acquaintances brings an opportunity to earn extra cash through behind-the-scenes work.

(♥) Tiny sparks of jealousy or mismatched expectations may flare up, but honest and open talk will smooth things out. Cross-cultural couples discuss where they should settle and start a family.

(⚤) You get to know new faces online and in real life, but none really makes your heart flutter. You know what you're looking for in your partner and won't settle for less. Expect petty drama with someone who sees you as a snob. more

In our office, there’s a central air conditioning system, and my desk is right under one of the vents. Because of that, I keep getting sick, always coughing and with a runny nose. My coworkers aren’t too happy about it either.
When I take sick leave for a few days to get better, my manager gets really angry. He even threatened to fire me if I keep missing work.
What should I do? (There’s no way... to move my desk.) Thanks.

Close the vent which is over your desk, then ask that the a/c filters need to be change.

Yes, report it to your supervisor. Plus, if they do not clean out the vents regularly, which seems to be a common oversight in workplaces, it could... be a health hazard long-term. A good supervisor or the HR office, if you have one, will respond accordingly, and l not make it get to the point where the employee has to get a doctor's note. Relocating your desk as suggested, is a good idea. more
