(Note: T spent some time about six months ago working out a cartoon character equivalent for various people in the company. The president of the company was the Tasmanian Devil, our AP manager was Roz from Monsters, one of our Supers was Droopy Dog, etc. I was one of the people he couldn't get a handle on, and obviously this frustrated him, if he's been thinking about again it half a year later.)
I've been thinking of myself for a long time as a sort of Marcie-Peppermint Patty hybrid (mostly because that's what I look like and not because I've put a lot of thought into the matter), and I have to admit that this works. And I think you should think about this too. Not about who I am (although you're welcome to speculate, if you like): which cartoon character do you think you are?
T: Hey, Cammy, I think I figured out which cartoon character you remind me of.

Me: Oh yeah? Who am I?
T: You've seen The Incredibles, right?
Me: Uh-huh.
T: Well, you know the baby, Jack-Jack, he's [SPOILER ALERT!] sweet and happy and normal until Syndrome makes him mad, and then he turns into a sort of raging fire demon? And then as soon as things are back to normal, he's cheerful again without missing a step?
Me: ...Okay, yeah, that's a pretty good fit for me.
