My email is updating from what feels like the dawn of time, so, I'm sitting at work waiting on this machine to wrap it up so I can work. In the meantime, I've been reading blogs of my friends. I guess if I'm going to write them, I should actually read some, too.I started with
Mike Vandemark's. His blog looks way cooler than mine, and is interesting to read. Bonus! If you haven't checked it out, I think it would be worth your time.
As for me, I'm glad to be at work. I like it here in my little office. I have the best neighbor who resides in what she calls her "cloffice" because it was formerly a closet! Yes, she's a riot and regularly puts a smile on my face. She just stopped in to tell me about a leech that resides in your nose...there's something we all want to think about for a while!
In all seriousness, one of the best things about this place is that we have random conversations (see above) and real conversations. There is a culture of honesty on our team that continues to develop in a healthy and beneficial way.
On my
Myers-Briggs profile, I am a "thinker" rather than a "feeler". It doesn't mean I don't care how you feel, it just means I tend to make decisions based on my head first rather than following my heart. Truth is a big deal to me - at times, even a bigger deal then how it will make you feel to know the truth. Sounds a little harsh, huh? I take great comfort in the fact that these profiles are preferences only, meaning that sometimes I do make decisions with my heart and care about feelings more than the disclosure of truth. I have to be really deliberate, especially in a work setting, about being people focused and not just task focused. I'm growing in this area for sure.
What are you like in your opinion? A head decision maker or a heart decision maker? Telling someone the truth no matter what the cost or preserving the relationship even at the risk of not sharing direct truth? Just curious.
