I remembered to check my channel 16 on Wednesday night. I needed to see if it was just a Municipal Access channel or if I actually get TechTV so I could watch Chris Pirillo. SuXor … it’s municipal access. No TechTV. I want TechTV. Please? *sigh* Oh well, I guess I don’t have that much power over TimeWarner in Houston. So I signed up for the rest of the LockerGnome newsletters that I wasn’t already receiving. Guess that will have to do for now.
I just completed the personality assessment at Brainbench (I would link directly to the assessment, but I think you have to be a member to take it, so go sign up!) Thought I would share the results here…
Your Social Boldness: Introverted VS Extraverted
You are slightly introverted. Do you ever say to people, “I’m really an introvert” and then they look at you funny? That’s because you can be both Extraverted and introverted, but in social situations people see you as an Extravert. Your enthusiastic and self-confident personality, plus your ease at talking to strangers gives the appearance that you are outgoing, even though you may attribute it to just being a friendly person. You find yourself at the center of attention, even though you may not actively seek that position. You are such a warm person that people like to follow you. Which is good, since you have no problem accepting your role as a leader when it is given to you. With your ability to flow easily from shy to outgoing, you may tend to easily flow from exciting adventures to relaxing times at home. This makes you a fun person to be around, because you do not always have to be on the go, yet you know there is more to life than reading and watching TV.
Read on for the rest of my results…
We got back into Houston about 9:40 last night, and I got home about 10:15 or so … and I was TIRED. I’m still tired. And congested now – I need to take some Claritin. But our meeting went really well, we got a lot accomplished, and that was the whole point.
The funniest thing happened at the airport in Atlanta yesterday morning though. When you arrive you have to go downstairs and get on a train that takes you to the terminal with the car rental places. There is only one place to get on the train, and it is only going in one direction. It makes a big loop, so if you get on a A and need to go to D you have to go around the line to get there. So we get downstairs and are waiting for it to arrive so we can go to the main terminal. An old lady comes up & asks if that train goes to “Terminal T”. I said “I’m not sure if that’s the next stop … let me look.” I look on the wall and it says “Next Station Terminal T” so I tell her yes, it goes there. Then she says, “Does this train go to Salt Lake City?” I thought she was joking. I almost asked her “Oh, are you going to the Olympics?” Then she repeated her question and asked if that was the right terminal to go to to get on the plane for Salt Lake. Uh, I dunno. Don’t have the gates for Atlanta memorized. Just then the train arrives and the doors open. There were 4 or 5 pilots on the train, so she asked them … “Does this train go to Salt Lake City?”
She & her husband got on, got off at the next stop. The pilots told them to “just stay with us” and lead them off. Meanwhile we stayed on until we got to the next stop where the rental cars were located at. And the rest of the day we laughed about the train that goes to Salt Lake City…
I almost forgot! I have to give huge props to Discount Tire. Last September I purchased two new tires for my car from them. This morning I went back there to buy a tire to replace the one that was destroyed during my pure evil ™ fit on Monday. The tire guy asked me as we walked to my car if I had bought the tires there. I said no, but that I had bought 2 out of the 4 there. He said that they would give me a partial credit then for the tire replacement. I thought the new tires were on the front – but they were on the back! So when we got to the car the guy realized that it was the tire I bought just months ago that was flat, so then we went to look if I had purchased the lifetime replacement warranty. I DID! So instead of costing me $100 or more today, it only cost me $10 to get a new tire put on. I can not even tell you how happy that made me. I highly recommend Discount Tires!
Now that I have set up a PDA version of my blog, and Jennifer and Promo have theirs set up, I would like to request that the following people add PDA versions to their site. Jennifer & I discussed this on IM earlier, even. Please? Pretty please? Here’s my wishlist. You can use my PDA page template even if you want to!
Michele, Candi, Patti, Robyn, Todd, Gretchen and Chris
Personally, I agree with Promo and wish everyone would do it. But these are the people I would add to my Handspring tonight before I head out for Atlanta in the morning. That way I could easily read it all on the plane. But alas … I can’t. Except for Candi. Jennifer figured out how to add her “Rants” page as a channel, so I can at least read that. Anyone else want to make a PDA page for me tonight?
