I’m so tired! SPE—that thing I went to last weekend—went very well. We interviewed a lot of really good candidates—a few really bad candidates, and a few more that I still haven’t decided if I like or not.
I did get to sleep through the night—when I wasn’t waking up wondering why the babies weren’t making any sounds. But I am still exhausted! Why? You ask? Because I am an introvert.
On the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) I am 99% Introvert. A true introvert means not that you are shy or quiet, but that you gain your energy and peace from solitude—or very few people. True extroverts get their energy from the people around them. Being around people makes them energetic.
Me though—being around people wears me out completely. I felt near dead by the end of every day. I hate being around lots of people—it sucks my energy and leaves me drained. But I hate this characteristic about my self so I force myself into situations where I will be more ‘extroverted.’ It just really takes everything I have.
We did interviews Friday and Saturday from 9 am until 6 or 7 pm. By 10 am Saturday, I could barely formulate a coherent sentence, my brain was so frazzled!
We did well though and I’m glad it’s over.
Now we are bringing candidates to campus and I am organizing that. I do best when I can have everything completed at least a week in advance. That isn’t happening so far. I’m exhausted.
We have a lot planned for this weekend and I am SO looking forward to it. I’m looking forward to spending time with Heath and the kids—not having to worry about work stuff. I am on call, but I can handle that.
Happy weekend everyone!
