GRAY SKITTERY
Your compete MICRO*scope for today
You are the type of person who tends to bounce around from job to job, friend to friend, and activity to activity, never spending too much time or energy doing any one thing. Family and friends never let you place the order at a fast-food drive through lane, because there are just too many options and they're hungry. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time watching the shopping channel looking to buy either a three-hole paper punch or decorative picture frames. Be on the lookout for door-to-door salesmen. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter D, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 267185. Your preferred shopping venue is mail order catalogs. Your special symbol is the question mark (?).
Is this You?
As a Gray Skittery, you are ambivalent, indecisive, and uncertain. You are in a constant struggle between the forces of demand and supply, production and consumption, good and evil... and you're losing the battle. You have trouble making decisions and choosing from among the seemingly infinite number of options that you perpetually face. Your shopping experiences are inevitably confusing.
This isn't me! What am I?

He's coming out of the Mona Mallard Duct Tape Industries plant with all of the duct tape factory workers. And he seems most distressed. Let's get to the bottom of this. Here's his story. The drywall business sort of dried up, and Dan has taken up employment in the exciting field of duct tape fabrication. The duct tape workers, though, are talking union. Dan's indecisive about this move toward unionization. Perhaps we can help him out. Let's stroll around the often controversial topic of labor unions.
