I’m a Big Boy Now
by G. Sax
I have to take a personality test for work. After I take the test, I’m going to take it to heart. I know I have some pretty decent strengths. Like my ability to organize. Like my loyalty. Like my confidence in craft or my ability to get you to read whaletime.net. I haven’t done much advertising my strengths and my website lately. I’m going to change that. Obviously, I want to be seen and heard. Which is why I’m taken aback by my backgroundy, shoegazing ways.
It’s the editor in me. The referee. The event planner—the less you know I exist, the better. But I’m not all that. There’s a little bit of Kanye in me. I’m an egotist. I don’t just want to make beats for other people.
So you’ll be seeing me trying to enhance my strengths, both here and in person should you want to hang out sometime.
I again have that good feeling of being on the precipice of something great. Maybe it’s the holidays. I’m one of those rare birds that gets up entirely for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Family drama is often unavoidable. Overspending, overeating…avoidable, but, like, yeah, right. One of my strengths is my zest for life. Which is why I don’t understand why my pessimistic side flourishes when something unplanned puts me on the sidetrack. Watch me grow.
