Thankfully, I was wrong to worry so much about my new job. Not only am I doing well, I am really enjoying myself. I'm not feeling overwhelmed, at all. This lady is so relaxed I'm starting to doubt she's an ESTJ after all. She could be an ISTJ... in which case God has a very ironic sense of humor... my mother being ISTJ and all. Now that I think of it... I think she is an ISTJ! She doesn't talk enough, which is to say "too much". All the ESTJs I know talk way too much... WAY beyond my desire or need to know. The phrase "too much information" was probably invented because of people like them! Oh boy! Is that ever funny! An ISTJ. Very funny, God.
I shall have to let you in on the joke. My mother injured me more deeply than any other human being on the face of the earth. I mean that the only way I could survive her treatment of me was to allow my soul to die. She annihilated me. It has taken me all these years to heal from the verbal abuse. The last time I had a significant breakthrough, was less than a year ago, and I'm almost 50! (So just in case you were wondering... time does NOT heal all wounds. They have to be dealt with.)
Yesterday, there were at least four things my boss said or did or planned to do that were just the way my mom would do. Well fine. My mom has a lot of great qualities when it comes to working. The office has several systems in place. I like systems. I don't think she'll turn out to be INTJ because yesterday she referred to someone who saw the big picture, saying she wasn't like that.
She's just like my mom. The way she says, "People are stupid," "People don't listen." JUST like my mom. I wonder what surprises God has in store for me. More healing, I suspect. That will be a good thing.
I just have to remember to try not to do those things that irritate my mom. (like thinking for myself) No, this lady won't be that bad. She has already appreciated some of my "new ideas".
