Scorpio & Work

From the several i know, you guys hate to work, more than usual, right?

yeah, me too. i absolutely LOVE my job and i work damn hard too. furthermore, i'm very good at what i do.......naturally. 🙂

i also work with another scorp girl, in fact there are four other scorps in my company and they are all workaholics.

"The Scorps I know are borderline workaholics."

Me too! Every single one! The only sign that matches them in that would be Cappies. I think they're neck and neck when it comes to job being numero uno.

"I work so hard but compared to my scorpio friends, I feel less dedicated."

LOL! Well, Cappies are usually too honest to do the sucking up part, SB. Scorpios are masters at that, and they even make it look like they're NOT sucking up, but just really accommodating, sweet people. I've watched my man in action on that front and totally called him out on it. 😛

Mine works his butt off, never calls off or takes a sick day. He doesn't even like to use his vacation days. He also piles wayyyy too much on his plate. He always fills his day with a million things to do, more than he could possibly ever get done but he sure tries 🙂

I'd say that as a Taurus & the ones I know...WE are the ones who hate to work but because we love our material possessions we do it & put are all into it but not because we REALLY want to. I wouldn't mind taking a VERY early retirement that's for sure!

elena, that's pretty astute actually. i always put work second to my man in the past - not that he noticed much LOL!! big mistake anyway. i still balance things with my kids though cos they deserve a piece of me as well but work makes me happy and if i'm happy, they're happy.

specially on pay day LOL!!

depends if they know they can control or take over the job or company, then crazy dedication...basically, expect grand scheming if they don't like what they do, don't expect them there much longer. cappy on the other hand work IS work ! !

LOL, Blingers, I think your Saggie cusp is showing.

doesn't everyone hate the rat race and having to be courteous to coworkers they dislike— i know i do, and i don't have a sag cusp either. 😛

"doesn't everyone hate the rat race and having to be courteous to coworkers they dislike— i know i do, and i don't have a sag cusp either."

Actually, some people thrive on it. Usually those who enjoy competition...like Scorps, Aries and Leos. Gems are pretty good at it, too.

I don't know that Scorpios love it, though, they just know how to get what they want. My boyfriend is great at his job, but he bitches about it constantly. I hear "I should just walk outta there and leave their asses high and dry" at least once a week. Even though we both know he never will. He stays in jobs where he is unhappy way too long. Deep-seated fear of change.

"Minimising the time spent doing it is more desirable though"

How do you do this unless you're independently wealthy? 😛

"Like getting me a frappucino in the morning, and driving me where i need to go LOL!!!!!!!!!!!"

LMFAO!!!

The ones I know are...including my bf aka baby daddy.

That sounds like a hell of a lot more work than, well....work... 🙂

So you became independently wealthy from selling your undies on Ebay? I'm impressed! 🙂

Then you haven't answered my question, you terrible tease! 😛

"there was no question as far as I could tell?"

The question was how do you avoid dealing with crappy co-workers unless you're independently wealthy? And you told me to get a hobby or sell my drawers on Ebay.

"Cappie's will go, go, go regardless of passion; they are too concerned with their future to stop."

This still describes every Scorpio I've known, especially the men. They may be more ambitious than Caps when it comes to moving up, but that's really the only difference I've noticed.

Depends.

If there was such a thing, I'd be classified as the hardest working procrastinater you ever laid eyes on. lol I perform my best work when the pressure is on. If I don't see any long-term benefit in a project, then I'll cruise my way through, exerting nothing more than the required effort.

In the past year, I've called in sick twice, and I was actually pretty ill when I did. I have yet to take a vacation day, and the one personal day I used was forced on me, more or less. One of my clients even said to me recently, "Hon, you need to take a day to yourself, just like the others. You need a break too every now and then!"

"In the past year, I've called in sick twice, and I was actually pretty ill when I did. I have yet to take a vacation day, and the one personal day I used was forced on me, more or less."

And that's what I'm talking about. I have to MAKE my boyfriend take vacation days. And he's SO taking the 900 or whatever he has left at x-mas. 😛

I don't have a Sag cusp

lol !

happy birthday bling ! 😉 so where's the cake 😛

scorps are workaholics, to a point thats even annoying, like i know they have sex on their mind all the time, but i wonder if work doesnt come firt to some!!!

But again, I know some pretty lazy ass Scorps. I am thinking of two in particular. Of course, they've demonstrated great potential. But who doesn't have potential?

Astrology schmology.

Scorpios love to do enjoyable things if what they are doing is in no way enjoyable don't expect much if anything from them at all.

Lazy i don't know of any lazy scorpio's they just have different priorities than u i bet u if u wag something or their liking in their face example money power sex. They will get off their ass. Unless they have a chemical imbalance.
