You Are a Dash


Your life is fast paced and varied. You are realistic, down to earth, and very honest.
You’re often busy doing something interesting, and what you do changes quickly.
You have many facets to your personality, and you connect them together well.
You have a ton of interests. While some of them are a bit offbeat, they all tie together well.

You friends rely on you to bring novelty and excitement to their lives.
(And while you’re the most interesting person they know, they can’t help feeling like they don’t know you well.)

You excel in: Anything to do with money

You get along best with: the Exclamation Point

My friend Lara sent me the quiz (thanks, Lara!).  Because she’s a fellow geek herself (although more in the math/science arena) she knew how much the grammarian in me would totally geek out over it.  So yeah, I’m a dash, which makes a lot of sense because I really like to use dashes of all varieties.  (If you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time, you probably already know that.)  Yes, there are different varieties of dashes — em dash, en dash, and hyphen.  See?  You learn something new every day.
Ok, now I really do have to dash — I’m packing up my office for The Big Move across campus.  Have I mentioned yet that my department has just undergone a huge reorganization?  Ah, the joys of a new vice president.  My workgroup, consisting of 6 people, is being moved from our lovely century-old home with fireplace, cathedral ceilings, enormous windows, and full kitchen to the main administration building (a.k.a. 60s cement-block prison) and another workgroup is being moved from there to our former space.  My new office is about 1/3 the size of my current office and I’ll be sharing it with another person.  And it has no windows.  Yikes.  But as we’re all fond of saying around here lately, “At least we still have jobs.”  True, true.
