I was answering an email to a friend the other day when I thought of the idea for this blog. She told me she was on her way to get some Christmas photos developed the “old fashion” way because she is just that way—traditional. I could actually identify.
Although I make myself do a great many “technological things,” because in today’s world you almost have to, it just doesn’t come natural or easy to me. I mean, email, web sites, online banking, social networking are all fun and exciting, but sometimes I think how much less complicated life was without quite so much technology, etc.
Part of my problem is I am about the most “global” person you will ever know. But, I am organized because with my schedule I have to be, and in the last year or so I have even begun “To Do Lists,” but that goes against all that I really am. Actually, I’m not sure anymore who I am because I don’t fit into any one personality category. Because of the jobs I have held and the responsibilities I have shouldered, I have always been structured in my work.
But put me in the yard behind a lawnmower and my true self comes out. See, I don’t mow in rows; I mow here and then there. I start cleaning one flower bed and then stop and move to another. Now, I will finish the first the same day, but just not right then. When I am cleaning house, I move from task to task in no particular order, and when I read a magazine, I might start at the back.
All of this drives my close friends crazy and my agent totally out of her mind. She is a technological whiz, but she covers up most of her frustration with me although I know she screams when she gets off the phone from me. Come to think of it, most of my friends have major analytical personalities. I had never thought about that much before. How did that happen? Maybe I’m a “wannabe” non-random person. Nah!!
The second problem I have…Now where was I???(To be continued)
