Xeney's list of her flaws inspired me to do one.
I'm incredibly stubborn. I'm not really one of those people who has to be right all the time. What I'm stubborn about is the need to do what I want when I want. And boy, don't get in my way because I'll bulldoze you right over. You have to understand that when I make up my mind, it's best to let me do what I want. Yeah, best for you too. :)
I'm a slob. I tidy up the public areas of my house about once a week. This is not enough. I only clean the kitchen when I have no choice (this means I do it the week the maid doesn't, or every two weeks. Yeah, I have a maid and my house is still a mess). I almost never tidy up private areas like my office or our bedroom. I do laundry and then I'm too lazy to fold it so it gets all wrinkled. Really, it's all I can do to get it clean and dry...which brings us to our next item:
I'm lazy unless I'm highly motivated. See above, re: laundry and cleaning. Obviously, cleanliness is not a proper motivation for me. I need a nap if I go to the bank and the dry cleaners in one day.
I'm moody[2]. Horribly so. I'm insufferable when I'm dehydrated, especially if that's accompanied by low blood sugar (and it usually is. this state generally results from me overexerting myself or going on a coding binge and forgetting that I need food and water until I'm ready to fall over.).[3] I'm slow to get really mad, but when I do, oh, it's noisy andmessy.
I'm impatient. I cut corners wherever I can. I will open an editor if I have to find and replace more than two things. My former boss saw me do this and started giggling hysterically. I stopped typing and gave him an inquisitive look. He snickered, "You really are a programmer. No one else would be lazy enough to do that." Let's see, I can't stick to an exercise program...you get the picture.
I purchase and consume Starbuck's coffee. Other people seem to think this makes me a bad person, but I refuse to apologize for it. So, not only to I do the wrong thing, I won't apologize for it either.
