They say that women are different from one another and when I was a kid I have always read so much about Astrology books that I have arrived to the point that I consult most of these resources as my comfort. If one day you may find yourself falling in love with a woman who has the Libra sign, then let me give me a little piece of advice on how to deal with her.

Librans are born under the balance sign. Needless to say we are women who try to be equal about several things. Money for example. Once we get our paychecks, we are caught between splurging on a pair of expensive shoes or sticking all of our money in our pockets. We can go around the mall several times considering if it's worth it. If we do buy it, we go home with a contented smile on our faces, but after a few days we also stare at the shoes, condemning ourselves for the money wasted. We also tend to spend a little way too much on other people, but scrimping slightly on ourselves. Don't worry though, when you're with a Libra, she never runs out of money. She has something tucked away to make sure there is something when the times are rough.

Decisions are a toughie for us. Because of the weighting scale sign, we normally try to spread things out first before we decide on anything. Sometimes though it takes us a gazillion years before we do so. When you are with a Libran, don't attempt to ask her what she wants to do about something. Because once you do her brain waves start ticking and she just can't think for the moment. If for an example she would ask you where you would want to eat, try not to answer with "wherever you like honey". The reason she's asking is because she really wants you to decide for her. A better solution to this, after you've asked her where she wants to eat (and she has a blank look on her face), submit your statement with a rebuttal. Meaning present her with the choices..like Burger King..or Mcdonalds..then she'll answer where.

We are creatures born under extremities. We can both laugh and cry at the simplest things. When we argue, we fight like crazy, but after 10 minutes the anger just slips away, sometimes we even forget what we are angry about in the first place. We can be jealous to an extreme maximum, yet be apathetic altogether. We can sleep for like 48 hours straight or be up 48 hours as well. We can be lazy like the worst couch potato ever, and there are days where we work like a horse and never stop. For us Librans, I guess we only have two emotions, loving and not caring. When we love someone, they are the most important people in our lives, but when we are pushed to the limit, we eventually end up not giving a shit anymore. We can be overly independent, but in the end we can walk away and not remember anything.

Similarly to all women, Librans need appreciation. We are suckers for sweet words and compliments. In our minds we only try to please the people who mean something to us. So when your Libran wife or girlfriend patiently waits for you at home and prepared a delicious meal, take into prospective that she worked hard for it. A hug and a kiss is enough to make her feel special and important.

We are two different people. We are different when we are single, and when we are in love with someone. When you are at your worst, we continue loving you and supporting you. Forgive her if she cries once and awhile. Her tears are a result of her sensitivity, which I admit can sometimes be irritating. With our small faults we try our best to make up for it, and the silence that sometimes envelope us is the result of that.

Don't be afraid to be with a Libran. They are one of the signs who are most faithful and loyal. (cough). They may ogle some hot guy on TV, or look sideaways when you guys are walking at the mall, but still she keeps her hand locked in yours. Because at the end of the day, her man is the only real hunk that matters. When you fall in love with a Libra, expect her to stay, because she will definitely love you long time.

A friend told me a story regarding this agent who was termed from a company because he apparently peed in a mineral water bottle during his shift. I was amazed at this story, not to mention grossed out. Picture this setting: Air-conditioned surroundings, multiple agents talking rapidly because of the queue, and then this brave young man suddenly stands up from his seat, pulled out his thingy, and then disposed himself right there and then in the middle of the operations floor. One would ask why this act of crudeness? Why wouldn't he simply go to his superior and ask himself to go to the little boys room? The answer is plain. A big plain NO. Most of us know that sometimes when the firing of calls are way beyond our control, our team leads would deny us that right to have our wee wee breaks. But the question is, why did this prevention cause this agent to push himself to rebellion and do this needful thing?

I believe that one wrong act can possibly be provoked by another. Let's say this agent is a veteran one (the ones who have been to so many call centers already and has been tenured long enough in the business to do something crazy and unlawful), but despite how aggravating a persons behavior is, this agent wouldn't have done anything beyond his self if someone did not fuse his temper. So he went to his team lead, asked politely to pee, and then this supervisor answers in a rude manner: "No, you stay in your seat and wait until your shift is over so you can go to the bathroom!" In ancient times this would have been cruel, and not to mention demeaning to ones sense as an employee. So all hell broke loose, as well as his thing in his pants and did the deed right there and then.

I once was a agent and never have I encountered such harshness. And now that I'm a supervisor too, I would never deny an agent his right to go to the bathroom despite the queue. I know that a team stats is fair competition, and the harder you press on your people to meet the goal, the better your scores would go up. But isn't this situation way too much? His act of disgracefulness would have caused his termination and I wouldn't disagree on it. But things could have been prevented easier. He wouldn't have lost his job, and the team leader wouldn't have lost his respect and vice versa if the entire situation was handled properly and fairly.

I wonder sometimes why other supervisors would value their numbers first beyond anything else. I remember a colleague telling me that agents are people too, they are not only digits that make a team perform. But I guess people vary, and once or twice we have encountered managers who see us only as a graph inside their heads. They smile politely to your benefit, but when you unconcsciously commit a mistake, they are the first ones to hang you at town aquare.
Just like this team leader. She has termed most of the agents who do not perform on her team. She thinks that they are the reasons who pull the stats down so she takes them out of the game. Wouldn't it have been better to focus your attention on non-performers and help them out of their weaknesses? But no. Nothing else matters for her. Only the numbers and her promotions. No wonder she doesn't have any friends.

I know not all of my agents like me. But I try to be fair with what they come up to me with. Besides I was an agent too before, and a team leader who doesn't believe in you and trust you makes the entire workplace a living hell. (Not to mention the difficulty of filing approval for Vacation Leaves).

So wherever that agent is right now, I can't help but be somehow proud of him. Although I know what he did is entirely uncalled for. There is just a lesson to be learned in all this, no matter what position you are in you have to know how to respect each other. And to that team leader slash terminator, I hope one day she learns to handle her team in a personal aspect as well. I mean you don't have any more friends, so if you keep kicking people out, there might not be a team left.
