Get off Tumblr. Go see live comedy, tonight, in just two hours.
As you read this I am currently loading equipment and setting up the space for a free comedy show at Pie, which is 214 N. Lombardy St. Show starts at 8PM. It's open to all ages, but the show will get dirty.
Also, I am hosting and opening the show with my A+ set.
Also, I took my Strengthfinder Assessment. Here is what it kicked back, followed by my paraphrasing of what each means and whether I agree. Then, for fun and so you get to learn who I really am, I'll show you how I internalize and ruin the strengths.
1. Activator
I make things happen. When everyone else wants to talk about it and wonder what could go wrong I want to smash the fingers holding the door shut. I figure we'll solve those problems when we get there, but right now it's time to actually do something... Damn it!
Do I agree?: Yes! Let's just do something instead of wasting time.
How I ruin it: You're annoying and impulsive and will eventually get someone sued.
2. Command
I take over everything. I speak very frankly and often intimidate those around me. I have a thought about everything I hear and will share it without being asked. I will assign people tasks and crave confrontation.
Do I agree?: God, yes. I'm pretty rude.
How I ruin it: You're a bossy prick.
3. Analytical
I think about things, all the time. I look for patterns and seek to figure out exactly what causes (x) to happen. I don't let people make false claims without seeing any proof or evidence. I correlate the data to make informed decisions and statements.
Do I agree?: Sure. I can never shut my brain off and like to make connections between things.
How I ruin it: You think you know everything.
4. Individualization
I know that people are different. I subconsciously observe and form opinions about how people think, react, do and say. I then apply that knowledge in developing individual relationships with people. I detest statements that begin "You know how (group) is..."
Do I agree?: Yes, absolutely. I don't believe in treating people the same as everyone else.
How I ruin it: "Everyone thinks you play favorites. Maybe you do."
5. Significance
I need to be recognized. It is a compulsive desire to be recognized for my strengths and talents that will drive me forward. Likewise, I prefer to associate with other recognized people because I feel it reflects on me. I want my work to define my life and need that work to have lots of leeway so I can do it how I choose.
Do I agree? Yes. I genuinely need people to tell me I'm awesome.
How I ruin it: You have compensatory narcissist disorder.
Try living with that.
But if you take it all together, I'm an awesome manager of people. I'm really great at sales. I'm phenomenal at talking up the achievements of my department/group.
Those are the types of jobs I have held and done very well in.
You know what else I'm good at? Comedy. So come down to Pie, 214 N Lombardy St at 8PM. Say hi!
