ISTJ

Well, according to this test I shouldn't be a middle school math teacher. Maybe that's the problem.
Nope. I am not willing to give up so easily.
I am more introverted than extroverted, that's true. (That's the I part in the post's title. It stands for Introvert, Sensing, Thinking, Judging.)
I think there must be a lot of overlap between Sensing and Thinking. They seem to me very much interrelated.
As for judging, yes. I admit it's not the most attractive side of me, but I do tend to make up my mind and stick to my guns. I don't have a huge amount of tolerance or patience for those different from me. You're entitled to make your own decisions, just don't expect me to back you up.
Care to take the test? Follow the link above. Harry S. Truman (pictured) was also an ISTJ. I knew I liked that guy!

Keep 'em coming!

I need more cheers! I went to what I THOUGHT would be a job fair today. The card announcing the event said 11am-4pm. Would you believe that whoever organized the event was deliberately sabotaging those who dropped off resumes before 1 pm? Those resumes were thrown in the garbage. Seems counterproductive for a Job Fair. Am I wrong?
I am a prompt person. I arrived on time. The parking lots were full to overflowing. The organizers shooed us into the stadium to listen to the speaker, a well-known author. He's great, but 1) I've heard him speak before. I own at least one of his books, which I had to read for a class. 2) We're all here to get a job or fill open positions. I don't need a speaker! I need a job!
Please. If you're organizing and advertising an event, be honest about when it will start and end. Don't waste people's time.

I forgot "Depressed"

My list of D words from my last post left out Depressed. I am officially, now, unemployed, and I don't feel that euphoria a teacher is supposed to feel when school finally lets out for the summer. I feel lost and unmotivated. I know I have work to do to find a job for the fall, but I am having a hard time getting off my duff to do it.
Help me with words of inspiration, please.

My meme

As defined by Wikipedia:
The term "meme" (IPA: [mi'm]) refers to any unit of cultural information, such as a cultural practice or idea or concept, which one mind transmits (verbally or by repeated action) to another mind.

But what a meme is really is a game, of sorts. It's a little task that is all about you and it can take many forms. Lists or lies, it's all in good fun.

My bloggin' friend MamaChristy posted a list of 10 words whose initial consonant was the letter L, then described why this list applied to her. If you'd like to play, you ask for a letter. I asked. She sent me D, so here I go.

1. Dating Dave. I think this should count for two, since I used alliteration.
2. Deborah/Debra. A family name, my great-grandmother, aunt and sister all have this name.
3. Daring. I'm not as daring as I might like to be, but I am surely bold.
4. Dynamic. This is a pet peeve of mine. Dynamic means ever-changing. Some people use it to mean vibrant. Not the same. Life is always changing, as am I.
5. Dublin. A famous seaport city in the land of my ancestors, Ireland. I've never been to the Emerald Isle, but, boy, do I want to go!
6. Dance. I love to!
7. Dairy. I did, for a short time, live in Wisconsin, the Dairy State.
8. Denominator. The "bottom" part of a fraction. I had to get a math word in here somewhere.
9. Diligent. Constant in effort toward a goal. I like to think that I can accomplish whatever I set my mind to do, and so far, it has worked.
10. Denouement. The final resolution (untying) of a story or plot, as in a novel. My favorite French word, thought I never studied the language formally, and a fitting end to my list.
