I think I like me...

Your inclination to be a specialist, in your field of endeavor, is advanced by your interest in systems and structure. You come across in a direct manner, and do not hesitate to express skepticism in a candid tone. You tend to be strict when it comes to following rules, and if asked to enforce them, you use an authoritative approach. Criticism may cause you to react sensitively.
You prefer to tell people what to do in a straightforward fashion, rather than use persuasion. You are very effective in expressing yourself factually and sincerely. You are precise, frank, sensitive to tone, and can become discouraged if criticized unfairly.

You are intent on getting things done right, and you insist on maintaining the highest quality. You focus on the disciplined mastery of details and systems, and you use principles and tradition to help you maintain an orderly environment. You need to know all of the details all of the time, are cautious of changes in the system, and often take negative feedback personally.

You function well when supplied with rules, manuals, and systems. You prefer that details and proposals be presented in writing. If not pressured, you rarely make mistakes.

You expertly perform your leadership role by demanding that your people follow your organization's rules and policies.

You are more productive in a structured environment where there are few abrupt changes, and where there is basic job security with good benefits. You desire a professional culture where criticism is carefully administered, and where tradition is respected.

You can be demotivated if systems are not firmly established and routine procedures are not in place. You can become discouraged when criticized unconstructively or unfairly. You tend to be less productive when not supported by enforceable rules, clear directions, step-by-step plans, or written communications.

Ouch

I had physio today. And it went really well. It was nice to hear that I would be back to normal eventually (though it may take close to a year) and it was even nicer to hear there was a plan of action for getting me to that point. I'm pretty sore now though, but just after that little bit of stretching she did with me I can already move my ankle better. I go back again every day this week and I'll probably be in three or four times each week for the next month or so. Needless to say, my insurance coverage is going to run out very fast. Oh well.
Anywhoo... I have to go calm the yelling match between my sister and brother.

So I have moved. And now I am at Mom's place which is very hectic, messy, and full of wet paint and paint fumes: but it should look good when it's done!
Nothing to exciting to report right now, will have things to share soon and will have better internet access in a couple days as well. Till then...

Goodbye, farewell... etc.

Had to say goodbye to a few people, including Islander tonight. Actually makes me sad. Cause I know it'll be over four months before I see him again and well I'm gonna miss him. I'm gonna miss lsgb as well, but I'll see her more often and talk to her lots I'm sure. She already has plans to come down for my birthday weekend and Yeah.. I"ll see her lots. Islander on the other hand... not so much. But oh well.
Islander and lsgb came over for dinner tonight, for once the meal I made for friends actually turned out. Jack took a liking to Islander and wouldn't leave him alone all night, I told him we couldn't keep him cause I don't have a box big enough.
We all went out to play pool too, along with boy who won't leave me alone and another guy. We all sucked. All of us were completely off our games (though some of us never had a game to begin with...)
Anyways... I must hit the hay cause I have to finish the packing tomorrow: joy.

Oh my gosh I hate packing.
Despise it with all of my being. The ONLY good thing about it besides bringing my stuff with me wherever I go, is that I can organize stuff.
But other than that.... I hate it! GAH!
