True Colors

At work today, we had a True Colors workshop/presentation, to foster understanding and cooperation among all of our different temperaments. It's like the next program in line after Briggs/Meyer, Keirsey, etc.

To really sum things up, there are four different character colors:

Orange: Adventurous, Spontaneous, Entertaining, Risky
Gold: Secure, Loyal, Traditional, Organized, Family/Home oriented
Blue: Romatic, Harmonious, Sensitive, Compassionate
Green: Intelligent, Curious, Problem Solving, Requiring Explanation

We went through a few exercises to establish which was our own primary color and how far below the other colors ranked for each of us, creating our color spectrum. Then, we split up into color groups to brain-storm common traits amongst ourselves and also to compliment other color groups.

What's your primary true color?

Can You Take The Heat?

Welcome to my little world. This is my first blog entry. I hope you enjoy it and join me in many discussions. Most people use talk of the weather as a last resort. But not me - I'm a weatherman! More accurately, I'm a Meteorologist with the National Weather Service. But not to worry. I'll try to keep such talk to a minimum. :)

With daily high temperatures well into the 90s and limited amounts of rain for most of this month, things are beginning to dry out around here. If this area doesn't receive at least another 1/4 inch of rain before the end of July, this will become the driest month on record. Also, if 3/4 inch of rain fails to make it to the ground by the end of August, this will become the driest summer on record.

Thank goodness the cost of water is included in our rent! Gotta keep that lawn green!
