Today is better. I've done all my shopping for the party ... almost. I feel nearly ready. It would help if I could expand my house, but barring that miracle, we're good!
I'm technically doing Ten on Tuesday via Chelsea this week, but ... well, I'm really sensitive about commenting about work on this, my personal blog. So here goes ... answering questions about work without ACTUALLY answering work-type questions.
1. What do you do for a living? I deal with law suits. I'm not an attorney. I'm not a paralegal. I don't work in a law office. Make your own assumptions.
2. What’s your favorite thing about your job? I really love the paperwork. No, really.
3. What’s your least favorite thing about your job? The stress of knowing no matter how much work I do, there are piles and piles left to be done when I leave, and then when I come back in the next day.
4. If you weren’t a ____________, what would you be? My ideal job would be owner of a used bookstore that could run at a profit or deficit with no worries from me. So really, in my dreams.
5. What is something that you would love to get paid for that you think no one would every pay you for? Read. not edit, critique or write, just read.
6. If you could have any job for exactly one day, what would it be? I'd be a teacher. For one of those summer days.
7. If you had to do manual labor, what would you do? any warehouse with enough air conditioning. Maybe even a refrigerated warehouse? I'm okay with that.
8. What is something you were forced to learn in high school that was supposed to be super important, but you never actually use? history. I know all that "doomed to repeat it" stuff, but screw it. Use your common sense.
9. Who was your favorite boss? Why? I had this boss when I worked retail who always told random stories. My favorite story from him is when we were moving things around on the floor and he said he wanted to take a pallet of water to the front, rent a smoke machine play Toadies "I Come From the Water" behind it. Classic.
10. Where would you rather work: Dunder Mifflin Paper Company (The Office), Wernham Hogg Paper Company (The Office, UK), or Initech (Office Space)? Initech is the only one I can actually think of (I don't like the American version of The Office and it's been too many years since I've seen the UK version), and I don't want to work there. I would, however, relish taking a bat to a copier. Can I pick none?

1. What do you do for a living?
I work as a project manager in Information Technology at a company that manufactures GPS electronics.
2. What’s your favorite thing about your job? The sense of accomplishment when we get a new release out the door and everything goes well.
3. What’s your least favorite thing about your job? The poor planning and stress of not being able to do anything about it.
4. If you weren’t a ____________, what would you be? I'd work in a museum restoring old artifacts. Or maybe planning displays.
5. What is something that you would love to get paid for that you think no one would every pay you for? Being lazy - I'm really good at it.
6. If you could have any job for exactly one day, what would it be? Something where I ran my own business. I'd like to see what it's like and how possible it'd be fore me to do it.
7. If you had to do manual labor, what would you do? I think a warehouse would be neat. One summer in college I worked in the inventory warehouse. I basically took orders and delivered parts. I love working with organization.
8. What is something you were forced to learn in high school that was supposed to be super important, but you never actually use? I think the most important thing is to actually think and analyze things (analytical thinking), so maybe everything else. Sentence diagramming? I still think of it sometimes though so it's probably still useful at least when it comes to writing reports and emails.
9. Who was your favorite boss? Why? I had a boss after I first moved to KC who told me his job was to support my work. He was there when I needed him, but he left me alone to do my work when I didn't. He was the perfect manager.
10. Where would you rather work: Dunder Mifflin Paper Company (The Office), Wernham Hogg Paper Company (The Office, UK), or Initech (Office Space)? Dunder Mifflin seems to be easy, so I'd chose there.
