At the
end of this past week in the office I got an interesting email from one of my
fellow new colleagues. It was an email that many have received in the workplace
over the years but, until now, I had never gotten one. It was a simple questionnaire
to get to know each other a little better.
Here
were the email questions along with my answers (some information has been
removed but the questions remain the same):
·
Type of
car you drive: Chevrolet Malibu [the 2012 is not very exciting but definitely
practical]
·
Top five
movies you could watch over and over: National Treasure, Gettysburg, Super
Troopers / Beerfest [any Broken Lizard movie except Club Dread – that movie
suuuucked], Talented Mr. Ripley, The Chosen, RED, Holy Land Hardball, You’ve
Got Mail, Fargo, Hitler’s Children (let me know if this is not diverse enough)
[I can never think of the movies that I stop and watch but these were the ones
that came to mind]
·
Favorite
TV show (currently or must watch re-runs): Who Do You Think You Are? (and other
genealogy related shows). Close second is anything firearms related (i.e. Sons
of Guns, American Guns, etc.). [also of note are Northern
Exposure, The West Wing, Deadwood, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Bargain Hunt, Big Bang
Theory, NCIS, MacGyver, and many others]
·
Drink of
choice (alcohol or non-alcohol): Coffee is my friend (and, by extension,
yours too). [Dark beer is good too; the darker the better. And Scotch is
right there with it].
·
Favorite
superhero: Punisher or
Batman (no super powers need apply).
·
Dream
vacation destination: Always
enjoy going to Jerusalem. Would also like to go to Ireland and Germany to
explore my heritage. [of course I am up for traveling just about
anywhere as you may have surmised by my numerous posts about my travels in the
Commonwealth]
·
Music
preference – genre or artist(s): I like a mix of most genres. However,
I am finding that my ears don’t agree with much of the sounds produced today. [Metallica
to 10,000 Maniacs; Verdi to Clint Black; Buddy Holly to Eminem; you get the
idea]
·
Favorite
app on your smartphone/tablet: Blogger (essential when you post
every day). Close second is Ancestry.com. [too many apps makes me
long for a green screen app].
·
Target or
Wal-Mart: Wal-Mart (have
you been to the Target on City Avenue? That will make you switch). [ironically,
you can’t get ammo at Target. But if I had to pick between the two I would go
with Amazon.com]
·
Must have
snack: beef jerky. [mmmmm, jerky]
I would add:
·
What was
your first car: 1998 Ford Mustang
·
Hobbies:
Writing, Genealogy, Rotary, Masons, Firearms, Travel
·
Major in
College: English/Creative Writing
·
First
Job: Shipping books for an antiquarian book store in Wayne.
So,
that was the simple questionnaire that I received on Friday. What would your answers
be to those questions? Is there anything you would like me to write more about
in a future post? Let me know and I will do my best to accommodate. In the
meantime, have a great night and a wonderful week!
