I’m not really blue, just not in the working mood.  Usually on Mondays I’m industrious and eager to work.  But today I seem more meandering, not really able to concentrate.  Although I’m not sleepy, which is surprising to me since I am in my 2nd week of trying to kick the caffeine habit.  I just had about a quarter of a cup of coffee this morning. 

This morning my boss made me take this Kolbe Index Personality test thingamajig.  It supposedly measures instinct-based actions, then encourages you to tell the whole world this is your MO (really, literally, it uses an MO) and that they’d better deal with it.  So basically it gives you free license to be an asshole.  My boss is handing his out to all his team members and making everyone take it so he knows how they relate to him.  My boss is NOT an asshole, for sure, but I just think this whole thing is rather funny.  This is who I am, now deal with it!  None of the questions on the test made any sense to me and none were questions I’d ever considered before, nor anything I consider important.  So I answered blindly and my MO is supposedly Theorist.  “My conative creativity is in originating concepts, innovating systems and initiating trends.”  I, of course, like to think this is me because who doesn’t want to be an innovator, but suspect it is not.  The downside to being a Theorist is that it does not gel very well with being a secretary.  And this has got me feeling a little rebellious and not feeling like working at all.  I’m sure that was not my boss’ intention, so I think it’s kind of funny. 

Oh, well, only 6 hours to go in the day, right?  Sigh… I hate Mondays.
