The Vilicus ____________________________________________ Nobody appointed you the person in charge, you just became that person because someone had to and you couldn't stand watching it fall apart. You notice the thing nobody else noticed, fix it quietly, and rarely get thanked for it. You like order, you like things running on schedule, and you have very little patience for people who don't carry their share. It's exhausting being the reliable one, but you wouldn't actually trade it for being anything else. Just let someone else carry something occasionally, you're allowed.______________________________________________ That's actually pretty accurate, describes my role at work, a position I never thought I would have or had planned to have.

The Legionary: You find comfort in structure that other people find suffocating, and honestly, good for you. You don't need to be the smartest person in the room, you need to know exactly what's expected and then do it better than anyone else. Loyalty isn't a personality trait for you, it's closer to a operating system.
