Here's some results of a quick personality test I took just recently:
Global Personality Test Results:
Stability (76%) - high which suggests you are very relaxed, calm, secure, and optimistic.
Orderliness (70%) - high which suggests you are overly organized, reliable, neat, and hard working at the expense too often of flexibility, efficiency, spontaneity, and fun.
Extraversion (53%) - medium which suggests you average somewhere in between being assertive and social and being withdrawn and solitary.

What struck me immediately was the statement on my being too overly organized. I guess its an offshoot of my current work and family life, but I do feel regimented in what I have to do and can do, leaving little room for any 'want to do's'. Not to mean I find my life less fulfilling because of it, but I sometimes feel that I'm not enjoying it enough - or maximizing the experience enough.
I need more fun... but how to do this with out having less sleep? I mean, my work eats up a great chunk of my everyday life - I find little time during weekdays to be with my kids, and when I do have that time, it covers most of the weekened. So there goes time for me to meet up with friends and other people I've not met or seen for a long while.
Whatever happened to the fun me?
Not to panic though, I've got some fun scheduled later - a high school batch reunion later tonight. So I guess I can find some time - it just has to be scheduled. But, I guess I do miss some sponteneity as well. Maybe its time to take a break... but if I do, how will I take a break by Christmas time?
Herein lies the dillema. I'm in a work environment that demands my time, and seemingly gives little back for me to enjoy myself and my life. I need more, if I'm thinking of keeping myself chained to this time-bound scenario.
