the Wakefield Doctrine

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

So, the Everything Rule^{Hey! Down at the bottom of the post, New Reader. Ya know, if’n you did your reading, you wouldn’t be all ‘but…but!} notwithstanding, there are some jobs. occupations, vocations, avocations and dalliances best suited to one of the three.

Physician: roger (for the technical/sciency medicine, i.e. oncologist, orthopedics), clark (pediatrician, gerontologist, psychiatrist), scott (see next subset)

Surgeon: scott

Dentist: roger  hygienist: clark (only if the class for physical therapist was all full on registration day lol)

We could list a lot more, but the Doctrine is a tool. Actually, to be more precise, the Wakefield Doctrine is an additional perspective (on the world around us and the people who make it up) so, go ahead, think of different jobs and professions and the imagine each of the three predominant worldviews in that role.

ProTip:

See, the Wakefield Doctrine is about relationships. Make that a verb. It’s about how we relate ourselfs to the world we find ourselves living in.

So, consider the profession of carpenter. If you are relating yourself to the world as does the Herd Member, how do you feel about this business of working in wood? Hint: you know there’s a Right Way and it, (this Right Way), will distinguish you from those around you engaged in the same task. Category: woodworking/finish carpenter/craftsman. You with us?

OK consider law enforcement. Quick! First memory-impressions. Chase the bad guys. Capture the bad guys. So who do you think will bring the fullest personal involvement to executing the duties of the profession? An Outsider who is ever-curious but needs to stay in the background lest they be scrutinized? Or, perhaps a Herd Member? They surely know that rules are not to be broken but unless they have support, (posse/mob/a third of the gym class), they’ll wait it out. Who just stole the police car?!! ;p. there’s your person. the Predator.

We’ve provided the template. You want to have fun with the Wakefield Doctrine’s unique perspective? Then read up on the three ‘personality types’ understand their individual relationship with the everyday world. And, it wouldn’t hurt to learn characteristic behaviors and such, i.e. the workshop pegboard with each individual tool’s outline stenciled on it or the mumbled joke that seems to emanate from somewhere beyond the first ring of gathered students or, even, the woman at the supermarket that makes you not mind the wait in line.

Like that.

We know you can do this. Don’t worry about getting it right. You can’t get it wrong and, even better, you can’t break it.

clarks think, scotts act and rogers feel

the Wakefield Doctrine is for you, not them

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

This is the Doctrine’s contribution to the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop. Originally conceived by our Founderess, Lizzi R  and produced by a monastery of hypoxic monks lashing parchment scrolls with the mortal brushes and venial ink, the bloghop carries on. In fact, it’s become so popular as to cause the dedicated host of hostinae (Mimi, Kristi, Lisa, Denise and Dyanne) to convince us we might serve a term as host. Well, as we all know, ‘no good deed goes unpunished.

For the Doctrine, this is our list:

1) Phyllis

2) Una

3) the Wakefield Doctrine

4) the Six Sentence Story (sentence limit) blog hop.  Pick-of-the-Week.  ‘What fun?...’  by Chris

5) the Unicorn Challenge (photo prompt) blog hop. ‘The Prayer‘  by Nancy

6) the meadow

7) Misky! Has accepted our invitation to take a seat on the TToT Board of Hostinae! We (remember. regular Readers of the the Wakefield Doctrine blog) hope that she finds as much satisfaction (so, mums the word, yo… no, ‘But Marilyn you have such talented and accomplished bloggers following and enjoying your …still Life joint are you quite certain that you should be seen comporting with such… such ‘people’?’ lol  We’re quite grateful that she has joined us in this grat-blog-that-Lizzi-conceived,

8) the Board of Hostinae

9) something, something

10) Secret Rule 1.3  (reminder all you New Readers, journey-person Doctarines/-a and chance visitor to this blog who, after reading with an increasing sense of disbelief and alarm, desperately clicking their mouse, like a movie-goer pounding on the brass bar of a fire exit…) Secret Rule 1.3 on one (the mundane level) simply means that in the process of creating a list of 10 things, as number 7 or 8 are penned and the realization that success is imminent, the resultant gratitude is a totally legitimate Item. Convention and good manner dictate that the last item (#10) be used for this celebration of food good* fortune.

Thanks to Denise for catching that… “Alex (or was it Pat), I’d like that Grat saved to my account for next week?”

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

ok. it’s Friday morning, about 7:13. This is rather an ad hoc TToT post as we spent a good part of last night figuring out the problem with the linkz process (see Grat 7). We’ll return later in the day and, you know, add some music and incidental cleverness.

Our list of the people, places and things we’re grateful for:

1) Phyllis

2) Una

3) the Wakefield Doctrine

4) the Six Sentence Story bloghop. pick of the Week: ‘The Burning Tower‘   by Cynthia Calhoun

5) the Unicorn Challenge. pick of the Week: ‘A Chance Encounter‘   by Sally

6) [Hypograt] Struggling with linkz after remembering (at about 1:13 am)  that we’d forgotten to post TToT link. Subsequent Grat (see #7)

7) Realized the membership we thought we had, had reverted to a free (aka kinda useless) account. Once restored, got Link out to the Board of Hostinae

8) computers and online (and solitaire) to pass the time when sleep was…elusive

9) something, something.  

And…and!! lets say this: ‘We’re grateful for having a new addition to our Board of Hostinae!! Hey Misky! ‘sup? (Now, regular Readers know that, while we may have been born at night, we weren’t born last night. Grats are valuable things. We’ll be incorporating this new Grat into next week’s TToT. But, being friends,^{shh…secret host-only-message}. we figured, Hey give them all the inside scoop, co-hostistically-speaking that is. See ya next Thurday(ish)

10) Secret Rule 1.3

1) Mums the word…. Mimi, Lisa, Denise, Dyanne, Kristi and Misky
