Should You Work with People or Things?




You Should Work With Things

 


You definitely aren't a misanthrope, but you find people difficult to understand and deal with at times. You're much more productive working alone - building systems, analyzing data, or honing your own technique.

No matter what career you choose, you do best in a field where you can be left alone to specialize, tinker, and invent. A focused, intense person like you would make a great surgeon. Or a fabulous architect. Or a superstar computer programmer.

    1. And here I had you pegged as a people person, Kathy!

  2. It says I should work with things, too! I admit that I do better just plugging in and plowing along by myself to get work done, but I sure do and can like working with people and do it all the time. Collaboration with others is a good thing.
    So I'm a mixed bag here.
    I have to stay home a lot, which is OK to a point, then I get cabin fever and am happy to go chat with the people in the grocery store or shoe repair or drugstore. Or chat with the neighbors' dogs or kids.

    1. I've had a few good conversations with the birds in my back garden.

  3. I now have three dogs on my floor. We have howling sessions sometimes in the afternoon when all other humans are at work or outside doing other things. I wish I could figure out what all of the dogs' sounds are about, but meanwhile there's barking, howling, whining.

    Seeing your birds, I can't wait for the birds to come out here. In the spring, there are so many bird sounds going on. I just love to hear them in the morning.

    1. We have yappy little dogs living on either side of us that bark when a flea sneezes four blocks away. I try to avoid setting them off, so no conversations with them. Birds are another story. This morning I had a hummingbird tell me his favorite feeder was running low, and a mockingbird informed me that I was sitting too close to the birdbath, and he wanted some privacy. If anyone besides Denis ever sees me responding to them, I'll probably be hauled off to the Funny Farm.

  4. Love the conversations with birds. It's great that you and Denis have a full motel service for birds, with feeders and birdbaths provided. Also, there is that pool, which you two so nicely put in for their benefit, and which the birds so kindly let you use.

    1. You just reminded me that I need to buy more apples. Lots of babies are being fed right now, and the parent birds are keeping me hopping! :-)

  5. Aaaaugh! Getting apples for the bird parents to feed their babies. How nice of you and Denis to do that. Helping to keep the bird population going.

    That is a good contribution to the planet and wildlife.
