It's the Monday jobsearch roundup! :D

I love reading job descriptions, actually. It's so amusing to see the spin they put on things. They don't tell you you'll do "photocopying, shipping, and mailing" anymore. Now you "support the Manager in their need for office work, photocopying, shipping and mailing."

I'm not an office assistant! I'm SUPPORT STAFF! *looks important*

In other news, the army needs a Professor of Mass Destruction. I wonder if they could use a GTA of Doom?

And there are naked people in Vienna. In the MUSEUM! Scandal!

Anton and Clue's posts together have got me thinking.

*watches creaky gears turn*

So this new planet they discovered is possibly going to be called Xena. Which in itself is just, oh my god, we as humans have to stop being so absurd. But here's an actual question -- I don't mean to mock and I'm really curious to know. What on earth (pun intended) does this mean for Astrology?

I mean, I don't really know how Astrology works other than the unit we did on how to find your sign in my Astronomy class in undergrad. I was sort of under the impression that the basic tenents of it originated in antiquity. But I suppose it's possible that there are modern interpretations of the planets, and that their movements mean various things in a systematic fashion, especially since in antiquity they didn't know about all the planets, just the ones that were easily visible without mathematical buckets and stuff. So Astrology must have evolved, right? And there were rules attached to its evolution?

So, if Xena really is going to be assigned to planet status instead of being declared a satellite and sucking Pluto down into that definition with her, are there going to be new astrological theories formed? Is it going to be an observation thing? How does it all work?

Enquiring minds want to know.
