Work issues have evolved in a good way. You are no longer worried about how to do things better. You’re thinking about what your next challenge should be, and that is a good sign that you are on the right track. Keep doing what you’re doing and you should find an open door soon. You need to be prepared to tell someone about what you want the next step in your career to be because someone very powerful might ask you about it soon.

One bad kisser could spoil a whole date. Or could it? If this person meets all your other criteria, why throw them out because of bad technique? Lead by example. If they don’t get the hint, spell it out. Don’t be afraid to communicate — it can get you what you want.

Skip the usual fare and go in search of an unusual cuisine for your next meal. Your loved one and your stomach will appreciate the change of pace. Give your taste buds a treat.

Just when you think you know everything there is to know, your exalted opinion of yourself takes a tumble. What you realize today is worth more than four years at an Ivy League institution, but only if you put it to good use. Don’t waste time pretending you already knew. Just enjoy learning instead.
