M. -the Wakefield Doctrine- ‘sure, we all would like a hint how to use this Doctrine on the first day of the w. week’

Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

Given that all you Readers are sitting in one of three worldviews as you read today’s Post, it’s only right that I make it clear which worldview I am talking about when I present a hint, isn’t it?

Well, actually no. It’s only right in the context of one of you. But that’s not important right now. Right at this moment, most of you Readers are at the start of your Monday, so on with the Doctrine hints:

  • clarks will be the ones most likely to get up early, followed by rogers and, (yeah, maybe a little surprising)…scotts are the last to rise and shine
  • clarks will be remarkably (and suspiciously) optimistic and talkative
  • rogers will not
  • scotts (who are still in bed) will begin to see that getting the other person back into bed is the best approach for everyone involved ( by ‘everyone’ we mean, of course, the scott)
  • clarks will look forward to the day the way that a person with a horrible toothache will look forward to going to the dentist
  • rogers will look forward to their day…in detail  with no need to share or express their concerns for the upcoming day
  • scotts will still be in bed
  • clarks sometimes feel anxiety about ‘the start of the day’  not necessarily the events that they anticipate happening, but rather, the point at which forward momentum begins
  • rogers will become more animated and energetic, but unless the other person is also in the same line of work, this brightening view of the coming day will remain inside their heads
  • scotts will (finally) get going… the least amount of preparation for the day of the three (consistent with their roles in the work day)
  • clarks and breakfast?  what, are you insane?!?!
  • rogers and breakfast?  well, we always have (fill in the blank precisely, please)
  • scotts and breakfast?  yeah sure… come on!  lets get going!!

That accounts for ‘our’ morning. I have every intention of returning to this here Post here at noon today and provide us with a look at the tipping point of the first day of the work week.  Unless you have a coment.

Well, what exactly do you want to know? Whether I am a clark or a scott or roger? If you have to ask, then you need to keep reading the Posts for two reasons: a)to get a clear enough understanding to be able to make the determination of which type I am and 2) to realize that by definition I am all three.* *which is true for you as well, all three...but mostly one

    Oh wow, you pretty much nailed my morning worldview. Is there a part where it talks about how Clarks will be irritated when the rest of the world doesn’t face the start of the day in the manner in which she intended them to?
    And…frist!

      frist!*

      * said the guy who promised to continue the post at noonday and is still tied up in work… don’t tell zoe!

    Nailed it. can’t wait to read the tipping point. (all the rogers are starting to pile into work now… I fear my tipping point is imminent!)

  3. lrconsiderer says:

    *grins* surprisingly talkative but ONLY when we want to be. Otherwise moody and sullen and annoyed at being interrupted as we prepare for that forward momentum.

      (here’s a compliment that most people won’t spot), you are among the (fortunately) small number of people who, when I read your Comments, I find myself having to go back and read the Post! (lol… and I know it’s been maybe 10 hours, but you’d think I would remember it completely!)

    hahaha as a representative of the Scott-ish (I know, I know it’s Scotian) community, I must concur. *yawn* I would love to be in bed right now. I find it hard to sleep in the older I get, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy to get UP and out of bed in the morning.
    I wanted to be sure to say Happy New Year to my favorite Clark! I didn’t have time to TToT, or I guess i didn’t MAKE time, whatevs. I need a nap! hahahaha

  5. Hmm…I’m an anomaly (imagine that). See…I prefer getting up late. And breakfast. Though when I work (outside the home, that is), I get up early to write, workout, practice Spanish, and whatnot, so that, like you said, I can face the day.
    But give me my own schedule and I’m in bed at 12 or 1 pm and getting up at 8 or even 9…
    And lookee there…it’s 11:24 pm and I wanna get up early. I betta git my patootie to dreamland. STAT.
