Life is a Puzzle

I really like puzzles... Always have really. They come in many shapes and sizes, and some don't come across as puzzles at all. This is probably why I loved the Myst series so much... I'm a problem solver. I was thinking about thisalot this morning, as I was given a list of bugs to start looking into. I've developed my own sort of routine for this now at Mistic, all with very clear and different steps.


Step One: Translate French...


Step Two: Try to comprehend what's really being asked of me


Step Three: See if the file in question has been edited recently on SVN and if so maybe the file was fine before the revision?


Step Four... well you get the idea :)


I found myself having fun bug checking this morning, it seemed that through my system of checks and balances and "steps" I was isolating problems easily and moving on. Of course the greatest part of any puzzle is solving it in the end. Moments like these remind me that maybe I'm in the right profession for now.


This weekend was one filled with trips to Ikea and assembling our new living room! This struck me as odd too, actually going out and shopping for furniture... then sitting back and enjoying my new living room was just so... "adult."


Benoit's sister just arrived to stay with us for two weeks, which should be an interesting experience I've decided. He said she spoke a littleenglish, but what I've found is that a little english really means none. Luckily though I think my french is improving and I have been able to have some simple conversations with her, but we'll see how this goes :) It's always an adventure for sure...


I don't have too much to write about I guess, but I'll leave with a link that Heather sent me the other day. If anyone has taken the Myers Brigg's personality test you'll know what I'm talking about, but a while ago I took it for school and figured out I was an "ENFJ" (like Heather) which means I'm "Extroverted,iNtuitive, Feeling, and Judging," rather than "Introverted, Sensing, Thinking, and Perceiving." Anyways she sent me this link that has a really good discription of ENFJ's and well I thought it was pretty accurate.
