Came across this Color Career Test from an article about the colors that CEO’s tend to pick. I gave it a shot, I am not CEO (which I knew that already!) but my results hit what I do, and what I love to do right on the head:

Native American Zodiac Sign.

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 11:02:13 -0600

Owl: Nov 23 – Dec 21

Changeable and mutable as the wind, the Owl is a tough one to pin down. Warm, natural, with an easy-going nature, the Owl is friend to the world. The bearer of this Native American animal symbol is notorious for engaging in life at full speed, and whole-hearted loves adventure. This can be to his/her detriment as the Owl can be reckless, careless, and thoughtless. Owls make great artists, teachers, and conservationists. However, due to his/her adaptability and versatility – the Owl would likely excel in any occupation. In a supportive, nurturing environment the Owl is sensitive, enthusiastic, and an attentive listener. Left to his/her own devices, the Owl can be excessive, overindulgent, bitter, and belligerent.

“Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the
mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give
up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the
mind is not tired.”

- George S. Patton, U.S. Army General, 1912 Olympian

Another locked down game of Scrabble. Just about the exact same as playing Brett about a year ago. These are the types of games I prefer, locked down, short words. If the game is like that, most of the time I prevail! So look out! But on the other end, if it’s a long word really open game, I tend to fail.

Anyone else playing Words With Friends on the iPhone? If so, look me up, username: neillharmer
