On any given weekend, I'm more likely to be found:
|
|
|
attending a boring family obligation. |
|
|
doing chores around the house. |
|
|
playing a sport or enjoying a hobby. |
|
|
working, what else? |
|
My desk/work space predominantly features:
|
|
|
a stack of papers a mile high. |
|
|
office supplies, neatly arranged. |
|
|
an assortment of unique toys and mementos. |
|
|
a bulletin board with photos of loved ones. |
|
This is what I think about following dreams:
|
|
|
I don't really have time for my dreams. |
|
|
Three words: Get. A. Job. People should spend more time with their feet on the ground than heads in the clouds. |
|
|
I do have dreams, but I try to keep them realistic. |
|
|
My dreams are so big, I think most people think I'm mental. |
|
When I go to the zoo, I'm more likely to notice:
|
|
|
the name animals. You know, things like elephants, lions, tigers, and bears. |
|
|
the outrageous price of a Coke. And the souvenirs. And don't get me started on the selfish crowds. |
|
|
the amazing variety and colors of animals, and how everything works together just so. |
|
|
my watch. We've got a lot of stuff to cover and I want to see it all. |
|
During my lunch break on a beautiful spring day I'd be most likely to:
|
|
|
stay at my desk--there's too much to do. |
|
|
take a really quick walk. |
|
|
take the rest of the day off and go somewhere fun. |
|
|
sit outside and read over some paperwork. |
|
During conversations, when someone brings up something I'm not very familiar with:
|
|
|
I'll ask them more about it right then and there. |
|
|
I'll quickly change the conversation. |
|
|
I pretend I know exactly what they're talking about -- who wants to look like an idiot? |
|
|
I'll try and find out more about it later. |
|
When a child dances in front of my cart at the grocery store, I'm most likely to:
|
|
|
wonder why parents can't keep their kids under control. |
|
|
yell at her to move it or lose it -- I'm in a hurry! |
|
|
smile, wink, and wave. |
|
|
ignore her and wait for her to move. |
|
Children are:
|
|
|
little guides who have wisdom that I often overlook. |
|
|
my role models. |
|
|
those annoying things that spill stuff, get in your way, and scream on airplanes. |
|
|
awfully cute, but best when quiet. |
|
If I was at a formal dinner and someone noticed some toilet paper stuck to my shoe, I'd:
|
|
|
remove the toilet paper and suggest that whoever is in charge of keeping the restrooms clean should be fired. |
|
|
smile and say, 'I guess it never hurts to have some extra on hand.' |
|
|
subtly kick it off and act like it was no big deal. |
|
|
immediately leave the room and avoid that person for the rest of my life. |
|
If I had to compare the excitement level of my life to a type of animal, it would most likely resemble:
|
|
|
a tortoise. Kind of slow, but I keep myself busy. |
|
|
a peacock. Colorful and often quite breathtaking. |
|
|
a penguin. Active, but I'm not exactly flying, you know? Which is pretty similar to everybody else I know. |
|
|
a dead tortoise. |
|
I would estimate that I laugh approximately:
|
|
|
How am I supposed to laugh with the whole world going to pot? |
|
|
10-20 times a day. |
|
|
way too many times a day to count. |
|
|
5-10 times a day. |
|
When my alarm goes off in the morning, I typically:
|
|
|
throw my freakin' alarm out the window. |
|
|
groan, hit the snooze button and bury my head under the pillow. |
|
|
sit up, yawn, and contemplate my day. |
|
|
smile and jump out of bed. |
