just a few

Today wraps up a pretty good week in my book. I actually got a lot of things accomplished at the office. I was thinking today, I've really got it made at my current job. Aside from the work itself, the attractive female quotient is surprisingly high for being an engineering gig. I am content.

Mom got back from Hawaii around noon today. I guess things will get back to normal at the house now... Scratchy will get some food to eat. I'm sure she's like, "Why aren't these humans feeding me?...."

I went and hemmoraged some funds today during lunch at the music store in Huntsville. My buddy hooked me up with a couple insane deals on some equipment... later I went to a music store in Decatur , and ended up getting a genuine Abu Ghraib glow stick surprise when I purchased 4 velcro cable ties... for $10. Good Lord. I needed them though, and didn't want to wait for an online order.

Hung out with Shama for a while tonight. Ran into Jeff and Andrea at the bookstore. Jeff was saying they played with Bishop Black in Tuscaloosa last night. Kewl.

Personality Test
I took the personality test on Bone's site... I don't know why I wasted my time with this. I know how I am.

Your answers suggest you are a Resolver.
The four aspects that make up this personality type are:
Spontaneous, Facts, Heads, Introvert

Summary of Resolvers
- Good at getting to the heart of a problem and quickly finding a solution
- Make rational decisions using the facts available
- Think of themselves as understanding, stable and easy-going
- May focus on short-term results and lose sight of the big picture

[[--I agree with all that... except for the last item, I think long term--]]

More about Resolvers
Resolvers are independent people who quietly learn how things work by analysing large amounts of information. Should a problem arise, they solve it with as little fuss as possible. Resolvers are only interested in abstract ideas, if they can be used to solve a problem quickly.

Resolvers like to take risks: Many of them seek jobs and pastimes that put them in harms way and guarantee an adrenaline rush.

[[--This is very true of me... that's why I work with aircraft and also do video production, because there aren't many jobs more demanding while providing a huge rush than that right there.--]]

Resolvers have changed jobs most frequently since leaving full-time education, according to a UK survey.

[[--Excellent point.. I've changed jobs 3 times in less than a year. Who are these people saying they can't find work... there's lots of work out there.--]]

Resolvers are often tolerant of behaviour different to their own as long as their values aren't compromised. They sometimes give the impression that they agree with other peoples' viewpoints because they don't actively disagree.

[[--That's me to a T... which is why I can handle my girlfriend's drinking, even though I don't condone it.--]]

In situations where they can't use their talents or are unappreciated, Resolvers may become cynical, negatively critical or put off decisions. Under extreme stress, Resolvers could be prone to inappropriate, tearful outbursts.

[[--I don't really agree with the last 2 sentances... I'm more prone to just flying off the handle and causing bodily harm to someone... you know.. going kung-fu on their head.--]]

Resolvers are quiet and sometimes it is difficult to get to know them; however, they often talk freely about subjects they understand well.

[[--I'm not really quiet per se'. I'll talk about anything to anyone at anytime. On the other hand, sometimes people are just stupid and there is nothing I feel like saying about it.--]]

Resolver Careers
Resolvers are often drawn to hands-on jobs that require an analytical mind and careful organisation of large amounts of data

[[--Ding Ding DIng... we have a winner.. Vannaahhhhhh, tell them what they've won!--]]


Ok then, that was fun. It's 9:30 on Friday night and I'm going to bed...
