I'm a whenever I have to be person. Worked rotating shifts for two years.
That's very good, as always. You've "the knack" for it.
Suggestion for alliterative: try "weave" in place of "spin" in the fourth line of the fourth stanza.
I have a plan for everything

Feel free to send it. I get a kick out of my ideas getting wide exposure. I once sent an Email to CNN that came back to me from a conservative on the west coast with a string of from and to's a mile long. Evidently a friend of a friend stuff really flies on the internet.

I scored a 17
Thanks!
If it comes back to you, don't be surprised!
What sort of appliance are you if you score a 17?
LOL!!!!
Your Personality Coefficient score is 22.
Joy. Life brings you deep, deep joy. The mere act of existence sends shivers of pleasure running down your spine. The simplest acts give you the kind of ecstatic pleasure that would make normal individuals explode.
Sirius Cybernetics Corporation feels that your personality would be ideally suited to being a Door.
You are perky, chipper, and always ready to help out with advice in a crisis. You will do anything to make your friend's lives easier, but tend not to prioritise tasks well. Most people despise you, as you have absolutely no concept of when to keep your mouth shut.

Onboard computer
Make that shipboard computer.
Your Personality Coefficient score is 15.
You are completely indifferent to the needs of people around you. You prefer to stick precisely to your programmed routines, in the faith that these are the best possible course of action in any circumstance. Even impending doom.

You mean this one:
Every day as we dance, through our pirouette style,
We lay out our moments like a gossamer mile,
Of thin silken fibers of dreams and intent,
As we spin our life’s work in the days that we’ve spent.

I wouldn't say "agonize" is the correct word, but I do ponder different ways of expressing the thoughts. I tinker with them a bit, but I've learned to not mess around with them too much. That somehow seems disrespectful to the original inspiration.
You have a good appreciation for the structure involved. I look forward to seeing more of your work.
I got exactly the same thing with a score of 17.

Well! That can't be correct. I know exactly when to be quiet. You don't catch me running off at the mouth when there are decisions to be made. I am always the soul of contrition and decorum. It's utterly rediculous to assert that I would be overly voluble or argumentative, I object to this assessment in the strongest terms -- I demand a rematch! You can't treat me this way. Who do they think they are, anyway? Silence in the face of such arrogant effrontery is absolutely inconceivable and ... Oh ....
That's what they said, isn't it?
