Thanks!Which part of the clarification?
And yes, I should be paid...Open your hearts - and your pocketbooks (as they say in the Televangelist community)!
I don't question people like that--well, not out loud at any rate. Plus, he has the awful habit of interrupting me when I'm trying to explain things but I've learned to tell him to STFU and let me finish. The floor will be open for questions after I finish (warningly swishes bat).
Sigh...
It's times like these when I remember why I started the thread in the first place.You'd be surprised at how many people feel like that about ESTJs. It's ridiculous. At least five people have posted on this thread talking about how their respective ESTJs think they're so much better than them, and I always tell them that being critical is pretty much the ESTJ way of trying to be helpful.Mainly because you helped me see he's worried about my situation and not because he thinks I'm incompetent or worse, that I haven't given this careful thought!
That method is perfect. I know because I have the same problem as your ESTJ.
Teasing can be okay if it's gentle, and/or if you're making fun of them for something that they're not sensitive about, and/or if they KNOW that you are on the good side of that fine line between teasing and mocking.
You're a gourmet cook???
Aw, I'm sorry raz
But you never told me where and at what time I should meet you... I'm like that for the most part, but I'm not sure how many other ESTJs are. I have a reputation among my friends for being the Queen of Random Factoids, because every time I wonder something about something, I look it up as soon as I can, and if I think the fact is cool, I make a point of telling everyone about it. But for the most part, my interest in those five thousand things is limited to everything except the "gory details". Sometimes I'll ask someone, say, a science-related question, and then halfway through the answer I'll think "Never mind! I don't care anymore! It's too technical!"
... so I'd better stop.YES.
If I didn't, I'd be ashamed of myself. SOMEONE has to stand up there and do something when no one else will! And if no one else is standing up, how can I know for certain that anyone EVER will?? When there's a huge problem, someone has to be the squeaky wheel, and it might as well be me. 
Heartbreaker?
But as for the detailed planning idea: absolutely.
YES.
Exactly.I also have moments when I'm interested in everything *except* the gory details. It's hard to express that, though, when, hey, you asked the question, so obviously you MUST be interested.
I've done very, very similar things before
And in an especially righteously indignant way when it's with regard to an injustice happening to someone I care about. And I'd say that it's DEFINITELY an injustice when a curtain - unable to do its job as a light-blocker - blinds my SO every morning. Nope.

Southern politeness/passive-aggressiveness.Why thank you for the lovely offer! Let's all coordinate our schedules. *gets out her planner and fancy monogrammed pen*
Perhaps.
No problem!
Be sure to post here if you have questions/answers/things to say with regards to ESTJs and/or previous posts on the thread.I know very little about that topic, but I would think that, because ESTJs are more likely to be aggressive/loud/stating their opinions without any reserve, they'd be better at the job.
