Wednesday Night

Hi. It's Wednesday night, I'm home. I just got home from class a bit ago, made dinner, checked out the boring chat room then decided to work on my blog instead. I'm really getting tired of Chatting... I meet some nice people, but usually they're not what I'm looking for. I know in my last entry I was all excited about meeting new people and doing different things, but now I'm not so sure about that. I've been reassessing my goals and expenditures this week. I'm thinking about buying a house sometime in the near future, so I have to save money for that and for school and for a car and to pay off my bills... All that boils down to, "I'm going to live the life of a Hermit for the next 3 years." SO yeah, I'm already working on changes and figuring out what I need to change to achieve my goals. I need to go through a severe Paradigm shift. FUN!
My job is going better. Today I was in a training class titled "Conflict Management" It was actually kinda cool learning about the ways I personally deal with conflict. If you were to plot aggressiveness vs. Cooperativeness on a graph, my scores on the test we took were all over the aggressive scale, but almost completely towards the extremely cooperative side. In other words, if you had aggressiveness on the vertical scale and cooperativeness on the horizontal, you'd have to just draw a solid line up the highest mark of cooperative. It's kinda odd, because according to the test, there should be at least 3 separate degrees for the cooperative. Mine isn't. Which means I can be non-aggressive/cooperative and extremely aggressive/cooperative, depending on the situation. I can actually use the information I learned today in my daily life, not just in the work situation. I dunno, I took the class because it seemed cool and it got me away from my desk for most of the day. Other people in the class were there because they had to attend in order to be considered for promotion. So... I'm kinda rambling here. I know it's not a very interesting post, but it gave me something to do. I think I'm going to bed now. G'nite.
