Well, far be it from me to argue (Huh huh), but I've never considered myself a Type A anything, let alone my personality. So, I argued...then
I googled.
What I found was a description of both Type A and B Personalities. It is a theory that originally arose in the 1950's describing the 2 most common personalty types. I have highlighted in red the traits from both of these types that I believe to be mine.
Type A
- ambitious
- highly organized
- status conscious
- sensitive
- a caregiver
- truthful
- impatient
- always trying to help others
- take on more than they can handle
- want others to get to the point
- proactive
- obsessed with time management
- workaholics
- work steady
- enjoy achievement, but not stressed about it
- don't mind losing
- enjoy something or back out
- creative
- enjoy change
- reflective both inner and outer worlds
- waste time
In fairness, I'd say I was far less of a type B when I was younger so, this theory also, proves we grow and change with age. So, am I a type A personality as Youngest Daughter claims? Yes and no.
Just call me a creature of contradictions and say...
We both won! Heh, maybe I do mind losing...

Boo Hoo!
It seems the MLA's won't be getting their raise this year. Ahhh...
Premier Allison Redford stated that given the fact Albertans must accept making tough financial choices because of the predicted 6 billion dollar revenue shortfall it would be ludicrous to give MLA's a raise.
No foolin'...
She is right! Who of us peasants will be getting much of a raise this year??
Besides the average annual MLA salary is $156,311 plus perks. I'd say that's pretty good cash for a job we put them in. Huh uh...
Apparently, Premier Redford tweeted this decision prematurely, which put the opposition all up in arms. Plu...eeze!! Do they have nothing better to do than incessantly get their panties in a knot every time Premier Redford makes a move??

That's it, that's all! Have a grrrreat weekend!
Type A & B: We are sooooooo related, you described me to a "T!"
ReplyDeleteI guess I fall into the type B thingy...it's all in my don't give a rat's a$$ attitude.... not much of anything get's me riled anymore. Just let's not talk politics....that gets my dander up (stupid get's me cranky everytime!)
ReplyDeleteH :)
OH I am like you too, both A and B!! I always wondered when people said "you are so type A" what that meant. Thanks for the info!! :)
ReplyDeleteI took a whole 40 hour course on human bahaviours in the workplace and we worked a lot on type A and B personalities. And guess what? I still can't decide which one I fall more within!
ReplyDeleteThe instructor kept saying, you can only be one! Think of your core being, the core of who you are. That doesn't change and you are only one type! It was fustrating!
And possibly no raises for MLA's? I am appalled. No I am not. Not at all!
