This year, things are gonna change for me

The Year of the Rat started yesterday. Now you know.

"People born in the Year of the Rat are noted for their charm and attraction for the opposite sex. They work hard to achieve their goals, acquire possessions, and are likely to be perfectionists. They are basically thrifty with money. Rat people are easily angered and love to gossip. Their ambitions are big, and they are usually very successful. They are most compatible with people born in the years of the Dragon, Monkey, and Ox."

How was I not born in the Year of the Rat? (1912, 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996). That's so me! (minus the acquiring possessions and quick to anger bits, although those I was admittedly proficient at both in my teens.)
