I have a very linear mind.
I like to do one thing at at time, finish a task, and check it off my list.
If I didnt know that I disliked being interrupted before, I know it now.
Part of my job now includes helping whomever needs assistance at a given moment. Its actually part of the job description...its a necessary part of life at school. Being interupted and taking care of whatever comes up is just par for the course. And its a good job...and one that I can certainly do, but its definately stretching that part of me that doesnt like interruptions.
I know a good deal of it stems from being someone who desires control and likes to be in control. Another part is from being in the classroom for 13 years and having a very "linear" type of job. You finish one class and move on to another. You grade a paper and its done. You finish a set and its completed. Plus mathematics is very straightforward and black and white in its nature.
Im learning alot about myself right now. Its been interesting to see parts of myself that I didnt know about and to learn certain things that I like and dislike and being shown things to work on. Its stretching me personally and professionally.
Someone asked me if I like it and I said..."I think so... its different" And for someone who hates change, I suppose that is good .

You can expect an interruption from me every morning about 8:30 am. You are GREAT in your new position... it fits you beautifully.
Random thought... I think you might be the twin that got lost in my mom's uterus.
I'm learning that I'm not so much into change either. Once I get used to something, then the thought of change seems "nice" but then once I make a change (not everything though) I want to go back to the way it was. It must be age, ugh!!
OMG I HAD A DREAM AND YOU WERE IN IT!!!! weird!! i'll post a blog about it
