Whoopie!

I've been all busy transitioning my accounts to my replacement that I haven't thought of a topic for today's blog. So I'm taking the easy way out (no Leigh, not another Rufus photo essay). I had written up this list of questions for the new guy and he sent his answers back and requested I answer them as well, so here goes MY answers (his will remain a secret):

1. If you knew for sure that you could commit murder and are guaranteed not to get caught, would you do it?
No, I was raised Catholic and the guilt thing is something I can't shake, even if I am a backslider.

2. Name the situation in which you felt most betrayed.
I think it was when the Roommate left this company. He was angry at the world and for the tiniest bit of time he resented me for still being here. Also at the same time a manager here questioned my integrity and loyalty, what with the Roommate's exit, and that rubbed me the wrong way. I was getting it from both sides.

3. Where and/or when were you happiest?
I'm going to say I can actually pin point it to a specific moment, the time I was on a sailboat in Hawaii, just sailing along. About the only time I was ever overcome with joy.

4. Name a hidden talent you possess that would surprise others if they learned of it.
I kind of have a gift for listening to customers and know what they're saying, even when they don't say it exactly. When I worked for the display company my boss and I would meet with customers and come away with completely different ideas about what the customer wanted. I was always right. Same thing here at this company.

5. What do you think is your most striking or attractive feature? What would others point out as your most striking or attractive feature?
I would say my tits. I've got pretty great tits for a broad my age. Other people would say its my being so tall and skinny, although most of the time I feel fat.

6. Is there something in your past that you are so ashamed of that you
would never tell a soul? (yes or no, no specifics unless you really, really want to go ahead and cleanse your soul)
There's not really anything I'm so ashamed of that I wouldn't tell a soul but then again, I wouldn't tell you if I was that ashamed, now would I? But seriously, no.

7. Who are you closest to? Who would you share secrets with and seek advice from, a family member, clergy or close friend?
I'm not that close with my family so I guess I'm closest to a friend, the Roommate to be exact. He knows everything about me and is the one I go to for advice.

8. If you were granted a wish giving you one earthly possession, what would it be?
Beach front property with a great post modern house, please.

9. Same as number 8 only a talent, what would it be?
Be able to play the violin. I should have taken lessons in 5 th grade, like I wanted to but since I bailed on the piano I didn't think my parents would let me. Turned out years later I asked and they both and each said they would have encouraged me. Catholic guilt again.

10. What person, living or dead, do you admire the most?
Walt Disney, I'd kill for his genius.

11. If you could re-choose your career, would you change and if so to what?
Yes, something creative again. I got out because I was burned out but miss it again.

12. Which is wiser to own if you could only have one pair of dress shoes, a black pair or brown?
Once you go black, you never go back. I do not even own a pair of brown shoes.

13. If you were to compare the positive aspects of your personality to an animal or plant, what would you most be like? What about negative aspects?
A puppy for both. I'm playful and like to have fun but not responsible enough, at least I don't think so.

14. If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be?
I would have put a little more thought into my career path, it's all over the place.

15. If you could change your sex or your sexual orientation, would you change (one, either or both)?
I wouldn't want to be a man unless I was also going to be gay, so that would be yes to both or no change at all. But no, I'll stay where I am please.

Hmm, my last answer made me laugh. What's up with that?
