Myers-Briggs would say that you are an ESTP (Extrovert, Sensor, Thinker, Perceiver). In Star Trek language, you share a basic personality configuration with Geordi La Forge, Montgomery Scott, and Tasha Yar.

People like you are generally highly observant and totally present in the moment. You're active and adventurous, so you can sometimes be impulsive, even when confronted with danger. You're not interested in regrets, however, if your impulsiveness causes you to make an error. You're a free spirit.

You're very adept socially and easily make friends, especially when people are honest with you. You're talkative and adaptive to people and situations, though you prefer to be casual. You can be logical and calm, but you love to have fun. You've got a great sense of humor, and you're charming whenever you want to be.

You're also quite literal, a practical person who makes good use of your intense curiosity.

Your primary goal in life is the freedom to have fun and to fully experience life in the here and now. Your reward is to be surrounded by people who share your sense of fun and humor.

Good careers for your type include emergency medical technician, corrections officer, security chief, civil engineer, chief engineer, marine biologist, and developer of electronic games.


Kev's comments: Definitely not an Extrovert. Not talkative. Yes, a great sense of humor (at least I think so!), I think I can be charming too. Probably not the most observant, and not "totally in the moment". Not adept socially, not active-somteimes impulsive. But I can be logical and calm and love to have fun (my own kind of fun). Yes, I'm probably quite literal and practical. But I don't think my primary goal in life is the freedom to have fun. But I do enjoy having people around who share my sense of humor.

Spamming my own blog

I created a Cafepress storefront to sell 9-1-1 products.

I linked to the storefront from my LJ and put a link on the store back to my LJ.

Sunday Brunch for February 27, 2005


"Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what's for lunch." -Orson Welles
Or, "...ask what your country can do for lunch." --Kev

1) Do you take your lunch hour at work? Have to. I work 8 hours at a 9-1-1 center and we're not guaranteed a lunch break. We eat at our consoles.

2) What is your favorite place to eat lunch at? My console. Oh, you mean a restaurant. I usually bring sandwich. If we do eat out as a group, it's usually fast-food. Subway is good.

3) What do you usually eat for lunch? Oops. Answered that. A sandwich from home.

4) Do you have anyone that you eat lunch with on a regular basis? Everyone in the room. But we're all at different consoles, and if we don't send someone to bring in fast food, we usually eat at different times. The phone has to be answered and the radio traffic has to be handled, so sometimes our lunches sit and get cold while we do our job.

5) If not eating, what do you usually do on your lunch hour? See above. Answering phones, handling 9-1-1 calls and other telephone calls, and any other problems that creep up as the day progresses.

You know what I don't like?

I don't like it when I'm schedule to get off work at 11 p.m. and my relief doesn't show up.

I called her at home; she said she's supposed to be off on FMLA leave today (and tomorrow and Monday). She was not scheduled that way. In fact, she was scheduled off for her FMLA leave next week!

Someone screwed up, or is very confused.

I'm now working a 12-hour shift. I'll get off at 3 a.m. and have to be back at 3 p.m. I'll miss the class Rubi and I are taking at church (which we've been lazy and have missed 2 classes already). The supervisor that worked 2nd shift with me today will be coming back after 4 hours and working 3 a.m. until 7 a.m. I couldn't reach the scheduled dayshift supervisor to come in early. And I couldn't reach the 3rd shift supervisor that is on his regular day off to come in and work (but he's probably inebriated anyway).

Now, the entire supervisors' schedule is frelled up for the entire week. I had a couple of 3rd shifts scheduled at the end of the week (because of her leave), but hopefully those will be 2nd shifts now. But until we make contact with other supervisors, hopefully Sunday during the day, my schedule is up in the air (as is the schedule for all the supervisors).

Rubi was none too happy when I called her at 11:07 p.m. tonight and told her I wasn't coming home. She answered the phone "You have got to be kidding me." She knows if I call her, well, when I'm supposed to be pulling in the driveway, that I'm probably working over. It doesn't happen all that often that I have to stay over unexpectedly, but I don't like it.

(I am getting paid for it though, as I type this, so that helps.)


EDIT: 1 a.m. Yay! The 3rd shift supervisor that is on his day off today finally called in. He's on his way in to relieve me. I've called the other supervisor to let her know she doesn't have to be here at 3 a.m.
Now we just need to get the rest of the weekend/week straightened out.

Okay, clearly it's MAGIC lipstick.

Because I got another compliment today. [boggles] On the way to work, I had Kev stop in at a gas station so I could pick up a paper and a drink. As I was paying for my stuff, the guy at the register, maybe in his mid-late 20s, said "You've got a beautiful smile." Squeee! Three in three days?! Quick, girls, everyone run to the Clinique counter and pick up a tube of Tenderheart lipstick!

Jumping Off A Bridge

Because everyone else is doing it:




Your Brain is 40.00% Female, 60.00% Male



You have a total boy brain

Logical and detailed, you tend to look at the facts

And while your emotions do sway you sometimes...

You never like to get feelings too involved

You may have noticed..

I'm not very good at memes. I'll work on this one today, though.
