Last month was an uninspiring month.
I am a lazy writer and typically wait for a post to start
processing in my brain before I write it down.
Don’t know if my brain was on autopilot all month or what but nothing
inspired me to write a blog post.
My inspiration today is sheer, utter, desperate boredom.
I could never be the writer of much beyond the occasional
blog post because I’m not disciplined enough.
At 50 years of age, doubt I will gain any extra discipline during the
downhill slide.
Today I’m uninspired.
I’m writing because it’s slow at work and I’m desperate for something to
do to pass some time so I can keep bringing home the bacon. I am salaried only if I work OT. If I work less than 40/week I’m hourly. They call me salaried but nah…I don’t think
it really counts. I’m actually hourly,
not to exceed. That’s what it is. Not salary…HNTE.
I make a decent living so can’t complain too much. I can pay my bills, put tons of money into my
money pit of a house and still take an occasional trip to visit my boyfriend in
UT. I’m living large!
Sorry for the sarcasm there.
It leaks out sometimes.
I’ve lived worse.
I’ve used to have to choose between cigarettes and a jug of milk back in
the day. Guess which won?
I hate being bored.
I took a test to find out what my personality is. Because I don’t know. Well, because I’m bored really. I know.
My Personality Type is “THE DESIGNER”
Whoa! (upon reading
further I realize I don’t really get why I’m called a designer…)
Designers are emotionally
reactive, which means that they experience their emotions strongly and can be
very passionate, however they also have a higher tendency to experience
emotions such as anxiety, anger and depression. Due to their independence and
reserve, sometimes the Designer can be perceived as arrogant or unfriendly,
however this is merely because they don't require the same level of social
stimulation or interaction that others may seek. The Designer enjoys a good
balance between the real world and fantasy, they are mostly aware of and in
touch with their emotions. Being open-minded to new and unusual ideas helps
them to interact with the world. With a healthy skepticism of the motives of
others, and a belief in justice and being self made, sometimes the Designer can
come across as guarded or intimidating. However the Designer has a refreshing
impulsiveness about them, they tend to dislike too many rules and regulations
and can be casual and whimsical.
I do think the description is a decent fit despite the
stupid name.
You very rarely feel depressed and are usually in a good frame of
mind, however you feel strong cravings and urges that you have difficulty
resisting. You tend to prefer short-term pleasures and rewards over long-term
consequences. You tend to feel overwhelmed by, and therefore actively avoid,
large crowds. You often need privacy and time for yourself. Generally you are
not considered to be an emotional person, however you are aware of and in touch
with your emotions.
This is pretty accurate also.
I am usually calm and reasonably happy.
I agree with that. This also explains my weight problem.
People generally perceive you as
distant and reserved, and you do not usually reach out to others. You tend to
feel overwhelmed by, and therefore actively avoid large crowds. You often need
privacy and time for yourself. You are an active group participant but usually
prefer to let someone else be the group leader. You lead a leisurely and
relaxed life. You are likely to take risks and seek thrills. You have a
generally cheerful disposition.
Often you find the real world is
too plain and ordinary for your liking, and you use fantasy as a way of
creating a richer, more interesting world for yourself. You are reasonably
interested in the arts but are not totally absorbed by them. You are eager to
try new activities, travel to foreign lands, and experience different things.
You find familiarity and routine boring, and will take a new route home just
because it is different. As a person who is open-minded to new and unusual
ideas, you love to play with and think about ideas. You also like to debate
intellectual issues and often enjoy riddles, puzzles and brain teasers. Often
you exhibit a readiness to challenge authority, convention, and traditional
values. Sometimes you feel a certain degree of hostility toward rules and
perhaps even enjoy ambiguity.
I wonder how many people will wade thru this to this
point? If you know me well you already
know most of this stuff. Maybe. Sometimes I’m surprised by what people think
about me. When they actually tell
me. I don’t go around asking. Usually.
Unless something is really bothering me and I am curious to know how I
come across. I know I’m not easy for
some people to take. I’m not everyone’s
cup o’ tea!
You mostly assume that people are
honest and fair, however you are wary and hold back from trusting people
completely. You believe that a certain amount of deception in social
relationships is necessary. You are guarded in new relationships and less
willing to openly reveal the whole truth about yourself. You will help others
if they are in need. You do not enjoy confrontation, but you will stand up for
yourself or push your point if you feel it is important. You feel superior to
those around you and sometimes tend to be seen as arrogant by other people. You
are not affected strongly by human suffering, priding yourself on making
objective judgements based on reason. You are more concerned with truth and
impartial justice than with mercy.
They misspelled judgments.
That’s annoying. If you’re going
to put yourself out there as some sort of personality expert, learn how to
spell!
They didn’t catch that I’m the spelling police. I am.
Even on myself.
