Type AB...

Oh, how I wish I could use lingo on this blog that truly demonstrated the frustration I sometimes feel. That being said let me let one strain loose so that I may feel slightly better...

Ah, I feel better already. This is why I am a type AB personality-even my personality rides the fence.

I would say that most of my life has been centered around type A behavior (yes, I realize I'm a control freak), but as I've gotten older it seems as though my type B tendencies have evolved. Call it a result of life experience. (At this rate by the time I'm 45 I won't give a crap about anything).

I am also learning that my AB mix is more of an internal/external battle. Externally, I scream type B. I just kind of go with the flow and let people do what they need to do. Internally I am freaking out and wondering why exactly people aren't more like me-planned, efficient and able to execute in a timely manner.

Call it being a chameleon. I blend in with whichever personality seems to surround me. If I need to be a tree, I'm a tree-but if I need to lead the troops to battle...

It's one thing about myself I like the best. I have learned over the years that not everyone works like I do, and that patience is a key when it comes to working with people. Being flexible, adaptable and patient will get you ahead every time. Being difficult and having a bad attitude not only makes you miserable, but people don't like working with people like that.

Being the person people want to work with, is far better than the alternative.
