People, People Pleasing People

Yeah, it's the meme, it's totally general. put as much into it as you would tomorrow's horoscope readin in your local paper. Certainly the third paragragh hits the mark.

eXpressive: 4/10
Practical: 2/10
Physical: 5/10
Giver: 6/10


You are a RSIG--Reserved Sentimental Intellectual Giver. This makes you a People-Pleaser.

Oh, RSIG! You are the most complicated and dynamic of any type. You are brilliant, tender, romantic and a joy to be with. You're the favorite of many of your friends. It's just not a party until you get there. You are bursting with feeling and sentiment and insight but you very rarely express it -- it's not how you want to present yourself to the world. Although you are always studying your non-romantic relationships -- you turn a blind eye to romantic relationships.

You're highly adaptable, and you conform to your circumstances (maybe you're a youngest child?). You would probably be content with almost anyone, and almost anyone would be blissfully happy to have you. But just because you're content doesn't mean you're happy. Don't settle!

You'd rather ignore your problems than rock the boat by creating conflict. Please understand that in the long run ignoring conflict will make you unhappy and your partner exhausted. Try picking a fight just to see how it goes. You'll find out that solving problems is so satisfying for you that it makes conflict worth it.

Your sex life could be fantastic if you could stop worrying about everything so much (did I wash my hands? how do I look? what do I need to do tomorrow?). You need a sweet, expressive lover who makes you feel at ease and never puts pressure on you. If you feel secure with your partner outside the bedroom, it will make all the difference.

You cry at movies. A lot.

Truth Boats for Swift

At work Greg moved to a higher position, and off to another floor. When he sat across from me, we often talked about politics, in sort of a left-right discussion way. Funny, Politics is one of those things that work guidelines say we're not supposed to talk about, but I being the rebel that i am, have managed to have polite conversations about politics, as well as sex and religion at work. There the fun subjects after all.

Still Greg and I often talk politics via e-mail. He's a total news junky, watching CNN for hours. i observe, but i can't watch larry King or hours of news programming. This is yesterday's conversation:

You know, this is the sort of thing that has made me tune out the news and any election news lately. Am I the only person who knows that this BS has absolutely no bearing on whether this man can perform well in the position for which he is applying? What's more, the media has created this entire distraction. No one that I know outside the media actually cares anything about this story. I haven't heard either candidate, or the news media, actually comment on things that matter in at least three weeks now. Whether Kerry lied about Vietnam or Bush went AWOL from the Nat'l Guard is frankly
irrelevant.

Yes, I'm really tired of it. That story should have been dead a week ago.
Unfortunately Kerry keeps acknowledging it. I think he'd do better if he'd
ignore it and move to other issues. Just tell the media you're no longer
discussing it. It's all a game of "Gotcha" anyway

As for the 527's themselves. It's a legal way to use soft money, and
freedom of speech. Until they close the loophole, this is just the way it
is. you notice that Bush doesn't pay to much attention to the Move On.org
ads.

As for the ad itself, it's trying to show a character flaw in Kerry, one
that would lead people to believe that he isn't trustworthy, or a good
leader. Still, bush himself shows that military experience isn't a
requirement for the job.

The problem is, neither one of them will actually talk about plans, current
issues or anything of relevance.

From: Greg

Unfortunately it has become clear that neither are very effective leaders.
Whoever is elected, it will be a sad reflection on the caliber of today's
politicians. It reaffirms my belief that the smartest and most able leaders
among us never leave the private sector.

From: Edwards, Michael

And why would you...the rewards are much better if you're capable. It seems
to go towards the old teacher's crack...If you can't do, Legislate.
