Hi, I'm Grey, and I'm an alcoholic.

The awkward thing about an introduction prompt is the over-thinking how much a first impression really will weigh into others' evaluations of your character, I suppose. So, I ought to come up with an amusing anecdote, of which I have none, or else babble and then launch into a list of facts about me.

:yuck: I am a male of 24 years of age at the time of this post.

:yuck: I live in central Illinois (USA), where I was born.

:yuck: I have worked for a catering company for four years, since I decided I ought to learn to cook, and I needed income. All in all, it's been a good job. Rarely as intellectually stimulating as I could imagine an ideal job being, but it's actually quite fun. There was more to learn, at first, but I still pick things up now and then. Otherwise, I'm able to mostly keep to myself, and I have plenty of time to think. Food creates an excellent work environment, in situations where you never have to deal with the public. Access to quite a lot of free very good food gives the job some real staying power, and the rest of the people I work with range from entertaining to sometimes interesting.

:yuck: I found this site in an uninteresting and fairly typical fashion.

:yuck: Something clever and interesting and oddball to finish up a bulleted list in a way that proves I'm all three of those things, or to suggest I've imagined some need for this list to have a sense of closure that stopping abruptly wouldn't provide.

:yuck: I'm pretty sure I've been an INTJ for basically ever, though I'm still debating the legitimacy of MBTI as compared with things like astrology. I don't particularly want to talk out my thoughts on the differences or similarities, or I'd be posting in the appropriate thread. (http://intjforum.com/YaBB.pl?num=1191643764) Seems sound enough to at least be a useful tool, though I haven't heard anyone ever more than imply that it's close to a strictly divided set of categories.

:yuck: I'm not an alcoholic.

Interesting use of a smiley as a dot point.

Hi!

What is your ideal job, then?

What is your ideal job, then?

Can't say I've really even got a concept of the form of my ideal job. Plenty of things would be fun, but of course monotony sets out to destroy all of that, once mastery of the involved working parts is achieved.

It'd be fun, with the right set-up, to give tours at a museum of "modern art" or somesuch.
Editing always feels good. Something where I was given money to write descriptions of things would be interesting enough, for some time.

When I was a kid, I wished for a world where it'd be possible to take up a few very part-time jobs and rotate them in and out. I doubt I'd ever have a single job that I could want to stick with for too long, simply because jobs keep, for the most part, constant definitions and limitations. Developing and implementing people studies is always neat....
