    Shortly after my divorce, the newly divorced IEI wife of a friend of mine invited me over to her house, ostensibly to fix her luggage, but really to interview me for the position of her new companion (lol). In the process of discussing our lives, I complained to her that my SLI ex thought love meant folding my laundry. I said, I didn't need my laundry folded, I needed intimacy. She asked me, What do you have to offer a woman in return?

    At this point, I suddenly realized this was a job interview rather than a discussion between two friends, and I was so surprised that I didn't have an answer. Certainly not a ready answer, since I had never really thought about relationships in those terms. I think I mumbled something about being able to make money fast and easily.

    But after being on this forum for a while, I realize that I actually do Te best. That is, organizing for efficiency. Cell phone doesn't charge? Buy a new one, don't spend time trying to fix the old one, you will just waste more time on that than it is worth. Car broken? If it is past a certain point, sell it, buy a new one. Student loans and other debt? Pay off the highest interest rates first. Just do it and move on to more productive, more enjoyable things. Eventually, you find yourself doing enjoyable things that are very rewarding. Making money fast and easily is a result of Te, not a means to it.

    Neither is the answer the IEI was looking for, but that actually was a good thing.
