Not that I know of.
Do you read every new column as it appears on the SD homepage?
not always.
Have any pets?
Yep, a yellow labrador retriever
How many generations back can you trace your ancestry?
Seven with a considerable degree of accuracy; a bit sketchy earlier than that.
Are you interested in genealogy?
Not really. But then mine is pretty basic to about a thousand years back (farmer, fisher, farmer, peon, farmer, fisher).
Do you work on your tan?
No, neither in the salon nor under old Sol himself.
Have you ever seen a solar eclipse?
Yes, and several lunar ones, as well. Very cool.
Have you ever sighed wistfully as you gazed at a full moon?
All the time. Just before turning into a Warewolf.
In conversations, do you typically find yourself simply waiting for your turn to talk as opposed to actually listening?
Not typically, no, but it does happen from time to time (and some people, more often than not).
Do you have a really annoying coworker?
Not really a coworker, per se… but we have a transcriptionist who works as an offsite independent contractor who can be relied on to have lightning strike her computer or have a death* in the family at least once per week.
*Almost invariably somebody she’s already reported as dead.
Do you make a lot of excuses?
I sincerely try not to.
Do you read other people’s answers in threads like these?
Always, if I’m posting, too.
Do you like to write haiku?
No. There aren’t enough words to really say anything with.
Do you read poetry?
Once in awhile.
Is it unseasonably cool where you live?
Actually, yes. It’s a muggy 78 degrees Fahrenheit, which is a good 10 degrees lower than normal for early June.
Do you like hot weather?
No. Warm but not hot, with clear skies and no humidity, is my favorite weather. Those kinds of days are all too rare where I live, though.
Are you a night owl?
Sort of…I start work at 4:30 am, so while I am usually sawing a log at 9pm, I’m up at 3am.
Are you a shoe freak?
If you mean, like, sexually, ew no.
If you mean do I enjoy shopping for and wearing new shoes, not really. However, it is certainly true that recently when I counted the number of pairs I own, I was surprised and bemused by how many of them there are (I think about twelve or fifteen).
How many different religions are represented among your immediate family?
I guess 1.5; my mom is a Jehovah’s Witness, and I’m a Deist. My cats might be emissaries of Bastet, but I can’t be sure.
Do you like your job?
Very much, despite occasionally annoying coworkers and bureaucratic BS.
Have you ever devised a clever response to workplace bureaucratic BS?
