Journal bubblegoose's Journal: What type of thinker are you? Busy life updates. 18

Journal by bubblegoose

Found this quiz, thought it was kind of cool. It tests your thinking style. I'll put my results in a comment below.

In other news, it has been an extremely busy last few weeks for me. Our company moved into a new much nicer headquarters. I was the go-to guy on all of the major network stuff. This building is pretty nice, the Information Systems group now gets our own area, with a door between us and the users. One of my first steps after we moved was to get a door annunciator like you see at Radio Shack (motto: You got questions, we got blank stares). This lets us talk about some of our less intelligent users, safe in knowing they won't walk in on us.

Right now I am down near DC. Our company is doing a User's Conference starting Sunday afternoon. It is marketing's event of the year, although I don't know where the hell all of the marketing people are this weekend. This year they wanted the IS group down to help get it set up. Basically be grunt labor. Not happy about that one bit. We started unloading a truck at 6:00 am. Tomorrow we have to be back at it at 6:00 am.

I am a very tired boy and most of my weekends have been shot to hell lately. I had to give up my tickets to the Richmond NASCAR race and the Dover one too because of work. The only one I will get to this year is Pocono and that is my least favorite.

Things are going well on the personal side. I have consistently had my daughter about 70% of the time. At 3.5 years it really seems like this is where she becomes a mini adult. She is more in control of her feelings and a lot more self sufficient. Trying to get her fully potty trained, she has her good days and her bad days.

Heed Sam's advice and pick up the Leap Frog Letter Factory and Word Factory. She loves those two movies and walks around saying things like the B says Buh.

Things with the gf are going pretty well for me too. Its funny, but this is the most adult relationship I have ever been in. A good amount of give and take. It really feels like I am in a healthy relationship for once in my life. We both have similar opinions on things and we both have more professional careers. No more bitching when I say I am coming home late because a drive just failed and I have to wait until after hours to shut down the machine and replace the drive then start rebuilding the array. You know, the type of stuff that is a fact of life in systems administration.

We're both introverts, because of her job she just hides it better. We both prefer quiet evenings at home to going out all the time. She loves to cook and it is such a nice feeling to come home and have dinner ready for me and my daughter. She goes out of her way to help make life easier for me.

    The Renaissance ideal

    The leading thinkers of the Renaissance were not just experts in their own field. The renaissance scholar was expected to master all branches of knowledge.

    With his insatiable desire to know everything, Leonardo da Vinci is often held up as the ideal Renaissance man.

    • I'm a bit surprised @ that. I never expected anything person related.

      I also got spatial. I'm not too surprised @ that. Everytime I think about what I want to say, I see words spelt out in my head.

      1 thing that I didn't like about the test is that the test phrased things a certain way that could mean anything. I'm not going to sweat it, though. It's just for fun, after all.
    • Me, too. What about computer geek? I havae to try to understand what the user was thinking when he deleted all the files on his drive and expected his computer to still work. :-)
