1. Have you ever won a trophy?
Yes. For karate, geography, debate, and other geeky things.
2. Would you rather be a wannabe or a has-been?
Has-been’s sometimes still have their fortune and the odd groupie right?
3. If you could raise the salaries of 5 occupations, which ones would you choose?
Teachers – I’ve seen first hand the difference in quality you get between a low paying public school teaching spot, and a high paying private school spot. If people who REALLY loved their subject, and knew it really well, could make competitive salaries teaching vs. working in the field, we’d have more knowledgeable and impassioned teachers. The current system draws too many people who like the power, lack of oversight, long vacations, etc… and aren’t qualified for anything higher paying. There ARE some excellent teachers who do it for the love of teaching and the children, but frankly they are too few.
ATG Architects – I have a lemur with a serious prada habit to support here…..
Beyond that I really don’t know. Market forces seem to work a fair amount of the time….
4. You can press a button that will make any one person explode. Who would you blow up?
Tough one… Bush. Maybe K-Fed while he was on live TV. Although really I’d be more likely to walk around waving my button intimidating the masses.
5. Are you getting a flu shot this year?
Nope.
6. Would you rather have a personal chef or a chauffeur?
That’s tough because I enjoy driving and cooking. I suppose a chauffeur, assuming I still had to go to work, since driving in rush hour traffic is no fun.
7. Fill in the blank; “ If at first you don’t succeed, _______.”
evaluate if it’s still worth the effort:)
8. When was the last time you went to the library?
Years and years ago. I should go more often, but amazon is so easy…
9. Is there anything you can’t get where you live?
Casa Fiesta refries.

1. Have you ever won a trophy?
A: Yes. Too numerous to count. They used to hand them out like candy for winning basketball tournaments…
2. Would you rather be a wannabe or a has-been?
A: Neither. Although if forced at gunpoint to make a selection between the two, it would be has-been for sure…which implies that the “be” applied at some point in your life.
3. If you could raise the salaries of 5 occupations, which ones would you choose?
A: OK, here you go…in no particular order:
1. Collage artists
2. System Consultants
3. Project Managers
4. Line cooks – chefs
5. Web security architects
4. You can press a button that will make any one person explode. Who would you blow up?
A. Unfortunately, nobody…even though I’m terribly annoyed by so many different people and types of people these days, I couldn’t do it…..wait a minute…yes I could: any child rapist/killer would do.
5. Are you getting a flu shot this year?
A: Done…one week ago.
6. Would you rather have a personal chef or a chauffeur?
A: Ooohhh…are you planning my Christmas present?
I’d normally answer “personal chef” since I eat more than I drive, but since I’ve got access to a semi-private chef about 20% of the time, I’d probably go with chauffeur.
7. Fill in the blank; “ If at first you don’t succeed, _______.”
A: “beat the hell out of the person keeping you from succeeding (if applicable), then try, try again.”
8. When was the last time you went to the library?
A: About 4 years ago….for tax forms.
9. Is there anything you can’t get where you live?
A: Reliable home delivery of the Sunday paper.
10. First word that pops into your mind:
a. belly button – RING
b. underground – TUNNEL
c. beeyotch – SCEEOTCH
d. discovery – MUSEUM
1. Have you ever won a trophy?
Not sure – i’ve won a couple of things but don’t remember a trophy. I got a golden trowel for my garden, does that count?
2. Would you rather be a wannabe or a has-been?
Has been. Actually I think I am a has-been…..
3. If you could raise the salaries of 5 occupations, which ones would you choose?
Project manager, project manager, project manager, project manager, and project manager
4. You can press a button that will make any one person explode. Who would you blow up?
The US Air person who is making me miss my connection flight from harrisburg to philadelphia to boston
5. Are you getting a flu shot this year?
Yes, already did – so I don’t get the flu in the Harrisburg airport
6. Would you rather have a personal chef or a chauffeur?
Right now, since I already had the most wonderful meal in the Harrisburg airport (all sarcasm implied), I can’t imagine needing that. What I could use is a chauffeur – or a private plane – to get me back to Boston.
7. Fill in the blank; “ If at first you don’t succeed, _______.”
Spend the night in Harrisburg?
8. When was the last time you went to the library?
Probably to take Emma, so she could win a trophy for “most books read” in a summer
9. Is there anything you can’t get where you live?
A direct flight to Harrisburg. One that isn’t cancelled and isn’t delayed.
10. First word that pops into your mind:
I wish my flight was here. Oh, whoops. “Home.”
a. belly button – laptop (where it’s sitting now)
b. underground – hiding
c. beeyotch – travel
d. discovery – job (as in “new”)
I’m sensing a theme in your responses.
