Barely. 91-110: You’re average. It’s easy to predict how you’ll react to things.

Personality type?
Someone sent me a link to some great tests. A few of them are pretty fun.
Here’s one of mine:
| You Are An INFP |
| The IdealistYou are creative with a great imagination, living in your own inner world. Open minded and accepting, you strive for harmony in your important relationships. It takes a long time for people to get to know you. You are hesitant to let people get close. But once you care for someone, you do everything you can to help them grow and develop. You would make an excellent writer, psychologist, or artist. |

If Only….
A friend told me about a blog entitled, Who’s Yo Mama? While checking it out, I came across a post about the extreme need for people to fill jobs on Maui. Well, let me tell you, some days that just seems like too much of a Temptation! I think I should start packing and head to Hawaii!
So what’s to stop me? Well, my kids and grandkids are all on the mainland….all my friends too….and the jobs are probably all service-type jobs. I’m not scared of that, since I’ve worked those jobs before, but now I’m older and less physically resilient. Besides, paradise might not seem so fabulous if it was all the time. *sigh*
Ok, I guess it’s a good dream, but not in my future after all. 😉
The quotes just keep coming!
“So much of what we call management consists in making it difficult for people to work.” ~~ Peter Drucker
How true!! 😉
The cure for stolen office lunches
A friend and co-worker, Jonathan, just emailed me a link to this article: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/business/sixel/4137785.html
Just a note – my office is right next to the floor’s “galley” and on the refrigerator is a sign with this message in large, red letters: “Please do not take food that does not belong to you!” The sign was posted after our previous office secretary, Tammy, had her lunch stolen one too many times. She transferred to another building months ago, but the problem has not gone away….
“Tuna” sandwich, anyone? 😉
