Crickets

Yup, nothing is really new. I took the easy way out on my last post and wrote a list. I could (and probably should) have made each of those a post, but I didn't feel like it. To be honest, between being crazy busy at school and the nicer weather, I want to spend less time on the computer and more time outside. When I got home from school yesterday, I sat on the deck for a bit. It was lovely. I love this time of year, when the weather is nice and the mosquitoes are not yet out! Our area is mosquito central, and once they hit, we can't be outside.  We have talked about making over our solarium into a screen porch/3-seasons room. Here are some concepts that I love:

ESTJ

I took the Myers-Briggs Personality Test, and here are the results:
Extraverted Sensing Thinking Judging 
by Joe Butt (http://typelogic.com/estj.html)



ESTJs thrive on order and continuity. Being extraverted, their focus involves organization of people, which translates into supervision. While ENTJs enjoy organizing and mobilizing people according to their own theories and tactically based agendas, ESTJs are content to enforce "the rules," often dictated by tradition or handed down from a higher authority.
ESTJs are joiners. They seek out like-minded companions in clubs, civic groups, churches and other service organizations. The need for belonging is woven into the fiber of SJs. The family likewise is a central focus for ESTJs, and attendance at such events as weddings, funerals and family reunions is obligatory.
Tradition is important to the ESTJ. Holidays, birthdays and other annual celebrations are remembered and observed often religiously by this type. The ESTJ is inclined to seek out his roots, to trace the family heritage back to honored ancestors both for a sense of family respectability and for a sense of security and belonging.
Service, the tangible expression of responsibility, is another key focus for ESTJs. They love to provide and to receive good service. The ESTJ merchant who provides dependable service has done much to enhance her self image.
ESTJs have an acute sense for orthodoxy. Much of their evaluation of persons and activities reflects their strong sense of what is "normal" and what isn't. ESTJ humor is frequently centered around something or someone being off center or behaving abnormally.
ESTJs promote the work ethic. Power, position and prestige should be worked for and earned. Laziness is rarely viewed with ambivalence nor benevolence by this type.


Sounds like me!
