Disordered Personalities

Okay so this is a repost. No, I'm not going to flake and NOT make a new post today. But I was reading through my blog and had to post this one more time...

No matter where you work, you will come into contact with all different sorts of people and personalities. This is also true of schools and civic organizations. Take a look at this list...recognize anyone from your own personal interactions? 

  1.  Pleaser – This type is always ready with a smile to do whatever is asked...no matter how big or small or demoralizing the task. They are always bubbly, never a cross word for anyone. Beware of this type - they are usually up to something or have a secret agenda. I mean really - no one is THAT nice all the time.
  2. Goody Two Shoes – This type never gets in trouble. I mean never! Not that they don’t do plenty that would qualify as trouble. No, they will do whatever they have to do to ensure their name remains free and clear of all work place detritus. They are not above stretching the truth (lying), avoidance or passing the blame.
  3. Brain – This type always seems to know…EVERYTHING. No matter the subject, this person has the answers. This includes how you should do your job and how you should spend your free time. If you're getting married, they even know which wedding dress YOU should buy and where you should go for your honeymoon.
  4. Computer Whiz – This personality doesn't necessarily work in your IT department but could very well get a job working for a private investigator. Their skills are just THAT good! Need something located online? This person can sleuth it out. Need someone's pass employment history in Fiji or  how many times they were arrested in college? – child’s play for this person.
  5. Club Diva – This person has taken the dress code and completely shucked it out the proverbial window. Stilettos, fishnets, micro-minis and SPANDEX are all staples for the diva’s 9-5 wardrobe. Makes sense – why be slowed down in your progress to the club by having to stop at home and change? Right? 
  6. Superhero – No, this person does not come to work in tights with a magic lasso (man, if she ever does, I'm taking pics) but she is a wonder, nonetheless. This type of woman seems to be able to split herself between many different aspects – work, home, school, social, church – you name it and she’s probably involved (as long as it’s legal). You haven’t quite figured out how she manages to juggle all these activities but you would love to know her secret. You’re convinced she’s an alien or at best never sleeps.   
  7. Granola – This personality type brings to mind words like earthy and is often seen in long flowing skirts/dresses. She usually brings her lunch, recycles, reads tons of books (just because), writes poetry in their spare time and may even play the guitar.     
  8. Vampire – Not to be confused with a Goth This personality type is emotionally draining. Always with a sad story to tell you so that you can boost them up – which inevitably drains away some of your life force.  After all, it's all about them, right? Takes energy to keep yourself afloat now you have to constantly bolster this person too? Before you know it you’re dragging, failing to get work done on time and are starting to look haggard. You think you must be sick, but then you remember how this person was in your office complaining about her life…AGAIN                     
  9. Chameleon – This personality type can and will take on the characteristics of any of the aforementioned personality types. Ms. Goody Two Shoes may come in one day as the Club Diva. They can morph easily from one type to another in order to blend in with their surrounding environment.
  10. Chimera -  Outwardly, they may present as a Club diva and maybe you don’t take her as seriously as you would say a computer whiz…but inwardly she’s actually a computer-whizzing-brainy-wonder-woman capable of – well just about everything! This type is dangerous because you just never know. 

Now my question to you, Ladies & Gents, which one are YOU??!??

Oscar Chronicles - All By Myself

  Hola, mis amigos. I'm not going to ask if you missed me because - well, I already know you did. But more than that, I'm not going to ask because I'm sad, angry and hungry. Okay, perhaps I'm always interested in some snacks...Anyway, your Oscar is sad. Why? Is because a couple of weeks ago mi persona favorito decided to remodel his room. No really! He took all of the things out of the room - even my bed! At first I was angry thinking that he was kicking me out! He even took down his posters and emptied his closet! But then I started seeing him bringing some stuff back. Several pairs of his zapatos, some shirts and chaquetas. Some things he even put in the basura! Things that were too small or too old - you know how they do, right? So yes,  A MAJOR CLEANING. His room was like SUPER CLEAN.  He and his Papa also bought in new stuff. New zapatos, shirts, pants. The new stuff he put into a new bag. Nice! Good storage. It even has wheels!! So he can move it around a lot easi...

POP QUIZ

You guys ever take one of those online quizzes? " WHAT YOUR FAVORITE COLOR SAYS ABOUT YOU" ... Or the ones about your astrological sign?  "WHAT MAKES A CANCER HAPPY?". .. "IF YOU'RE A PISCES YOU ARE THE ROMANTIC TYPE"   If you did, were the results accurate? I mean did they fit you and your personality? I've taken a few of these sorts of quizzes - just for fun. Astrology? Yeah, I've read my horoscope from time to time. Most of the time the results and the astrological stuff kinda fit and sometimes I'm like - hmm, that is SOOOOO not me. Either way, they usually make me think wow, am I really like that? I took a personality quiz - basically it was to determine if you are left-brained or right-brained. Most agree now that there isn't a clear distinction and that most people have traits/characteristics of both. Here are my results...pretty good but definitely missing a few Like there was nothing mentioned about me being artistic or imagin...

Golden Haze

There I was...minding my own business (no really, I was - this time) thought I'd do some note taking, some observing (okay maybe not completely minding my own business), get some ideas for some posts...and the craziest thing happened. I started noticing a few people walk by my table, look at me - stare at me really, some snickered, some outright laughed. I was thinking sheesh, what's up? No one said anything - just looked at me, looked down at my table, looked at me, laughed or chuckled and walked away...that was until this guy walked over and sat down next to me. Immediately, my internal alert system went into overdrive!!! STRANGER DANGER!!! Then he says the craziest thing to me... Stranger: Hey, yeah so are you here regularly?  (ALARM IS GETTING LOUDER)  Me: Excuse me? Stranger: Nah, I'm just saying if you're here like on the reg, and you're bold enough to advertise the merch I'm straight going to switch my loyalty to you.  Me: DAFUQ!  (INTER...
