Tailgates are Never My Thing

I know from multiple personality tests, DiSC profiles, Myers-Briggs, etc etc, that I'm more introvert than extrovert. I mean this in terms of expelling and absorbing energy. Julie, my spirit guide through this life, who has a crystal explanation for just about every mood, situation, or problem, tells me that introverts can be outgoing, but it takes more effort and when after a while they need to recharge. This aligns with what I see in myself. I can be a gregarious and effective and engaging trainer, filled with energy and exposition, but afterward . . . I'm wiped. 


The HASC Tailgate is a wipe-out event for me. There are tons of people, thousands and thousands, hundreds of booths and BBQ's, tons to see and do, and a constant swarm of energy. 

Instead of feeling energized and effervescent after a few hours among the throng, I feel completely exhausted! Good thing Dianna and Rachel showed up! I gave a presentation to them and a bunch of other painters, coatings, and insulators a few years ago, then got to do it again last year. They found me at the tailgate and immediately inspired me (as you can see from the pic) with energy! 

I've decided tailgates might be my thing going forward it I hang out with the painting crowd!
