You’ve known this person for a long time, most likely in far more than just a friendly way. In fact, you’ve crossed paths for job-related reasons many times. What you may not have known is that they’ve been secretly on your side for some time now, treading lightly around your enemies and quietly building you up to anyone who’d listen. Especially the authority figures — the ones who count. So when that pat on the back arrives, toss them a wink. At the very least.

Want to get closer to your latest crush? Do something nice for them today, even if it’s inconvenient. Offer to give them a ride to the airport. Buy them a fancy coffee. They’ll appreciate the effort and appreciate you.

Quit treating your couple time like a bad reality TV show. The cameras aren’t rolling, so leave the drama at the door. Bickering and tantrums impress no one.

It’s a good day. You’re far from feeling financially safe and secure but at least you’re on your way again. Some day soon what you’ve been going through will be like walking through snow drifts to get to school. In other words, the olden days.
