Right or Left Brained?
Another fun test! This is my score:
| You Are 25% Left Brained, 75% Right Brained |
 The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning.Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others. If you’re left brained, you are likely good at math and logic. Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet.The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility. Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way. If you’re right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art. Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports. |

Maybe I should get my own talk show!
This is another of those fun tests! Here’s my score:
| Your EQ is 167 |
 50 or less: Thanks for answering honestly. Now get yourself a shrink, quick!51-70: When it comes to understanding human emotions, you’d have better luck understanding Chinese. 71-90: You’ve got more emotional intelligence than the average frat boy. Barely. 91-110: You’re average. It’s easy to predict how you’ll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that. 111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt. 131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin. 150+: Two possibilities – you’ve either out “Dr. Phil-ed” Dr. Phil… or you’re a dirty liar. |

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 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?
