1. If you could pick any tee shirt in the world to wear, what would it say?
I don't really care about what a T-shirt says. Though I do make it a point to wear something I know or I understand. If it's a band it's one that I like and listen. (Granted I only have 1 band T-shirt and it's Suede). Then I have some other singers' T-shirt and again it's because I like the artist and went to their concert and got it. I have some T-shirts that I bought from some website that supports dog shelters in the US and the wordings are in the type of "be the person your pet thinks you are".

2. What is the one thing (apart from your family and pets) you’d save from your burning house?
I wanted to say my phone or my laptop, but then everything's in the cloud anyway, so if it's truly a life-or-death situation I could probably leave those behind... anyway, I guess trying to wrangle 3 dogs (one hyper, one geriatric, one crippled) out of a burning house is hard enough. And I'm not even counting the cats yet.

3. What is your favorite way to wear your hair?
Au naturale! Why do you think I have it cut so short? So I can just wash my hair when I wake up in the morning, then just towel dry and comb it somewhat then let it dry on its own LOL.

4. What are you thankful for this year?
To still have my job, to still be able to be independent.

5. If you could do or go anywhere, what would you do or go?
Right this moment I really want to go to the UK/London specifically to sort out all that GBP cash that's out of circulation that i have on hand.

1. What are you better at than you might have predicted?
Surprisingly, my own job! I thought I'd suck at "serving" people (I'm an EA) but I guess it's also because my Boss is young enough that he accepts some ribbing when he annoys me too much.

2. When did you last surprise someone?
Friend's birthday in June. We had a prior dinner engagement to try at a certain fine dining establishment. Then her mom's friend wanted to invite her to the same restaurant the day before, the lady hijacked our plans! So we had to change our dinner location (we like to try new things, so if she'd tried that restaurant then we're going somewhere else). To lightly rib her, I had that restaurant serve them a Chinese-style birthday bun that they did not order.... but still had a message plate that signed my and another friend's name.... to show her.... even if she ditches us.... we are clingy.... and she can't get away from us.... LOL

3. What has recently caught you off guard?
hm...... can't think of anything right now.

4. What did you learn this week?
It's very important to be nice to your colleagues, be they superiors or underlings. Well, I've known that for a long time. It's just been reinforced recently.

5. How much attention do you pay to weather forecasts?
Well, temperatures here don't really fluctuate much, so it's not so much about what to wear, it's more about.... whether to bring an umbrella or don the rain boots or not. This part of the world is air con heavy so you'd always need a light jacket or shawl in your bag or in your hand. It's whether it'll rain or not and how heavy the rain is expected to be.
