Ask the Person Below You

[katie]

no, but i do want to. i'm a sucker for a ballet movie and pi and requiem for a dream are two of my favorite movies so i'll probably like it. seems that people either love it or hate it, not too much in between.

do you have any fun saturday plans?

[eebs]

Had a quiet Saturday - catching up on a bunch of things, watching FA Cup 3rd round and new CSI New York season, wandering around the shops with Amy - but just what I was in the mood for so it was a lot of fun.

How are you spending your Sunday?

[roach]

haven't started it yet, but looking forward to the inch of snow that will greet me. and couch I think. maybe get some nails and hang some things we got for christmas.

ever have your boss try to redirect a facebook thread you started as a comment on home owning away from the hash pipe direction it took back to the home owning? sub question, is that a sign I have an even better boss that I already thought I had. subber question, is grammar a deal breaker?

ro"and this here is public"ach

[Irock]

No, because my boss isn't on my friends list, and if she were she'd be on the special list where it looks like I never post anything.
Sub - meh, guess it depends on how cool you thought your boss was.
Subber - depends on the deal.


Think I should leave the house today? I didn't yesterday, and if it freezes I might not tomorrow. Could go for a record...

[mere1975]

It's your call if you'd rather stay on the couch with a dog or three, but I'm leaving the house today. (Did not leave yesterday. Still in my pajamas from Saturday night, in fact.) I just recorded our employee info line saying we are open for business as usual, so it'd be pretty funny if I called in and said, "nope." Drive safely, if you do!

How do you get to work?

- Mere "these days, I drive on surface streets for 25 minutes. . . Sam drives 5 minutes to DART station, takes the rail, then walks a few blocks" 1975

[eebs]

I have a sub 5 minute walk to work which I'm very grateful for. Means I can come home for lunch and switch off for an hour.

What do you need to get done today?

[Irock]

I have a dermatologist appointment @ 3:45, and I'm hoping to make a 4:30 yoga class. Otherwise I'll ahve to go to the 5:30, and that's a 60 minute class instead of a 90 minute, which is kind of a bummer.

I didn't leave the house yesterday after all, but I'm in the office today.

Did you / do you enjoy school?

[ifihadahifi]

I was/am a chronic daydreamer so school, in general, was not good to me. If there was a class that could hold my attention or allowed for dreams then I was straight A's. If it was something that required tedious attention... like math and science... I eeked out with a D- on the second attempt.

Would you take a mulligan?

[eebs]

I've never played golf but I'd rather go with the shot I've played and to hell with it. Seems like a fancy name for cheating.

If you were in a band that was covering a Black Sabbath song, which one would it be and why?

[Irock]

Iron Man, because it's the one I know.


How do you take your coffee?

[katie]

i don't. i hate coffee, it makes me feel disgusting. i prefer tea, decaf. even better if it's brewed directly from herbs and not from a store bought teabag. heh. i said teabag.

when was the last time you flew?

[mere1975]

Dec. 19, home from St. Louis to Dallas. The last two times I flew to Missouri, I ended up being sick/allergies/cold/sinus gunk for a good 2-3 weeks. There was a woman on the plan to St. Louis reviewing a business presentation on her laptop. She worked for Copenhagen Tobacco/Altria/Philip Morris and it was strategies for breaking into the college market and expanding smokeless tobacco.

Would you work for a tobacco company?

- Mere "call me a hypocrite since I smoked for a while, but no" 1975

[roach]

yes. I have few morals. I mean, we all know tobacco is bad for you so if you get hooked tough titty said the kitty.

ever whistle blown?

[Irock]

Nooooo. A few times maybe I should have though... Minor shit but - like as an hourly employee I was sometimes asked to work over one week but promised comp time the following week. Not often & not a big deal to me at the time... But def a violation.

Ever NOT whistle-blown when you should have?

[eebs]

yeah - had to do bag searches at work when staff left the building, one time someone tipped their bag onto a table turning up hashpipes and a bob marley tin - if i had asked them to open the tin i knew what i would find but felt the look of panic on the persons face was lesson enough! In my current job if i didn't whistleblow in certain circumstances, I could be fined or sent to prison....

if you could do a magic trick, what kind of trick would you do?
