"What's Your Myers-Briggs Personality Type?"

Result from Facebook app. I didnt want to add the application to my profile so just pasting results here...

ENFJ (Extraversion, iNtuition, Feeling, Judgment)

You are warm, empathetic, responsive, and responsible. You are highly attuned to the emotions, needs, and motivations of others. You find potential in everyone, and want to help others fulfill their potential. You may act as a catalyst for individual and group growth. You are loyal, and are responsive to praise and criticism. You are sociable, facilitate others in a group, and provide inspiring leadership. Famous people with your same ENFJ personality include: Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, Dick Van Dyke, Diane Sawyer, Peyton Manning, Pete Sampras, Johnny Depp, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

first day - mixed feelings

Almost in front of my house there is this really tall radio/tv tower that you can see from at least a mile when you turn into my street. I saw that tower on my way home today and I couldnt be happier... but that last mile never seemed to end.. I just wanted to be home so badly. Today was my first day, and almost the whole time I wanted it to be over already.

So my day wasnt terrible, but it sure wasnt 'great'. I was looking for a nice starting week - get settled in, set up my desk, have my onboarding meetings, have some training. Instead, I was running from meeting to meeting trying to prepare for this 'BIG meeting' tomorrow - almost didnt have lunch. So yeah, I know I have no right to complain but I wish I had come home from work and felt 'awesome' which didnt happen. Lets see how tomorrow goes.

I really need to start preparing myself mentally for THE curve (click for picture). If I can prevent what I felt back in 2007 in any way, I sure want to.

On happier news, movie night tomorrow night!

tata for now,

back again

Big life changes are happening... I get a sense my emotions will be in a roller coaster ride for the next 6 months at least. Im hoping this can be a place where I can reflect on this "thing" I got myself into.

The 30 sec update on my life so we all know where things are:
- I just moved from Cincinnati to Fayetteville, AR for a new assignment for work. I requested the assignment. This should only last about 2 years then I go back to Cinci.
- The bf and I are still together so going to give long distance a shot.
- I bought a house :o) today is my first night sleeping in the new house.
- Im going to get my MBA while Im in NWA (northwest arkansas).

How am I doing/feeling? Too many words to describe... excited about this great career building opportunity, eager to explore a new part of the country, hopeful about the learning experiences, anxious about making new friends, afraid of the long distance. And yet, it hasnt "hit me" yet.

More to write later. Going to finish clearing out the bed and then its off to sleep as I go into work for the 'first' time tomorrow.

Wish me luck!
