The elections are getting closer. Both of them.
Funny enough I would rather vote in the US one as it is probably more important and I can only hope that the polls are right for Obama. A friend who is a dual NZ-American citizen is able to vote both here and there.
Ours is Tweedledum and Tweedledee - the differences are not much now Key has moved National into the centre. As per usual, the MMP question comes up again. Just watched the minor parties on TVNZ - Jim Anderton summed it up for MMP (or a Proportional System) saying that, when he was President of the Labour Party, twice they got more votes but National got more seats. Simply not democratic.
Just did a BBC online test of my personality type as did John Key. He was a Go Getter. I was a Supervisor as was Sarah. Helen Clarke refused - what a surprise!!
Supervisors are:
Bring order to their home and work life
Like to act on clear, achievable goals
Think of themselves as stable, practical and sociable
May be irritated when people don't follow procedures
Supervisors like to make plans, organise people and get things done efficiently. They are natural administrators who dislike chaos and strive to bring order to every aspect of their lives. Supervisors like jobs where the goals are clearly defined and there are proven work methods in place.
Supervisors are most likely to say they prefer a job which involves a series of separate projects, according to a UK survey.
Supervisors use logic to solve problems and believe in being open and direct in their communications with others. They prefer to work and socialise with like-minded people.
In situations where they can't use their talents or are unappreciated, Supervisors may reject the opinions of others and insist they are right. Under extreme stress, Supervisors may feel cut off from the people around them and lose confidence in their own ability to cope.
Because they like to take charge and organise activities, others may find Supervisors too bossy.
Some find Supervisors too bossy??!!!
Have been reading a blog written by John Ansell who did the clever and funny National adverts 3 years ago. He asked a Trivia Question - Kiri Te Kanawa sang at Charles wedding, Elton sang at Diana's funeral - who sang at the Queens Coronation?
Answer - Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones - he was a choirboy.
