One More - Answers for Jane
Two posts in one day! Am I making up for lost time, or what?
Here are my answers to Average Jane's Interview Game. (She came up with the questions.)
- What's the most impertinent thing anyone has ever said to you? When I first started at my old job, I was talking to one of the others in the Other Department Silo. She said, "Don't take this wrong, but most of the people I work with view you as a parasite." I also was once called a parasite at my second PR job by the editor of some HVAC trade rag when I called him while he was on deadline. So apparently, "parasite" is a theme for me.
- If you could write for any magazine in the country, which one would you choose? Esquire. But I'd be very afraid. The writing in that magazine rocks.
- Is there a song that you and your husband consider "your song"? If so, what is it and when did it become significant? I'm sure there is, but I don't really know the title of it. My beloved picked out the song for our first wedding dance, and since I never really knew of it before, it didn't really speak to me. Don't tell him that. There's no danger of him finding out from here, because he never reads my blog.
- Would you ever buy another old house? I would, but I'd have to get divorced first. I'm not really the one who hates old houses. I'd probably hire a handyman, maybe someone named Schneider, to stop by periodically and fix things in exchange for meatloaf.
- What's your favorite comfort food? Baked Doritos. What did you expect?
