January 1st and you are back in action. Time is money, and you're not wasting either. New projects face their first review after the 18th. Accept unwelcome input, because customers are always right. By the second week in February, you adapt to this interference. You might even benefit. People skills help your career blossom late in the month. No one knows where you get this, but who cares as long as it works? In March, you can make a fortune by stating the obvious -- if you do it first. The first eight weeks of Spring see continued enthusiasm and teamwork. You're doing well for yourself. Vendor relations break down in the summer. Hidden clauses show up in binding contracts. Associates take unbiased decisions far too personally. You should have seen this coming. Try to handle it with decorum. The second quarter ends with a prickle, possibly putting you ahead for the fiscal year. Workplace morale is up. Client confidence returns. If you seek personal recognition, be happy with what you get in early summer. By the end of July, a new project or crisis upstages your pat on the back. Even if you enjoy the excitement of selling, the situation intensifies. Executives and managers demand more revisions and system checks in August. Something is happening, and you're not getting the whole picture. Despite in-house circumstances, safeguard your public image in late September. Avoidance is acceptable if you'd rather not lie. Full revelation is inevitable after October 10th. With luck, no one ask to leave. Past and current lessons are soon absorbed, and late October lets you aggressively pursue your career goals with a clear conscience. Discard obsolete methods and stock after November 3rd. By the 23rd, a professional relationship ends as someone leaves for a new project or job. Unless you're in retail, you sense a slowdown for the holidays. Enjoy the break, which is well deserved.
