Darn
Let's talk about the enneagram... um, well... sort of an old topic and nothing's coming to mind... but dammit I have the drive to start a thread today.
: How about a travelogue?
: Two weeks now in Hawaii... two weeks of waterfalls, beaches, sushi bars, movies, expensive groceries, Japanese tourists walking alongside Arkansas trailer folk, and sleeping on a sofa in a little old apartment surrounded by modern high rises, waking up every morning to the sounds of the neighbor laughing unrestrained like a Polynesian Santa Claus (even at 7AM I manage to feel amused). This is a GREAT place.
: Just went to answer the door... my computer FINALLY arrived! Oh, and I talked to my old company in California this morning and they are begging me to do some work for them on my own terms. Shit, life is soooooooo sweet. Such a poem.
: Anyhow, I met a social worker out here the other day and had an interesting conversation about the interview process when screening people to receive government aid from child services (and also covertly screening for signs of child abuse and mental illness). I think this social worker was probably an ENFP 2w1... but a surprisingly shrewd and rational one... yet still FULL of passionate empathy and desire to educate parents and change things. Very interesting listening to her talk about a mentally ill woman who would never see the baby she had just given birth too. Retelling the interview and how the woman couldn't even follow a conversation, was addicted to cocaine, and had already had two babies taken by child services at birth.
: Enough small talk, ya.
