Survey gacked from MySpace.
1. Do to you have a college degree?
Sadly, no. I do regret my decision not to go to college after high school in some respects. However, I've never been a good student, and I get very restless and anxious in a classroom setting. Of all the single classes I've taken at various community colleges, I've only passed one of them because it was more hands-on.
2. What was the amount of your last electric bill?
Not a clue. Mark takes care of the bills.
3. Do you have life insurance?
Yes, we each have a policy.
4. How many hours per week do you work?
40. I have your standard 8-5 office job.
5. Have you ever attended a Toastmasters event?
I don't even know what Toastmasters is.
6. Favorite place to attend Happy Hour?
I'm not a drinker, and I especially don't enjoy hanging out at bars.
7. How many miles is your commute to work each day (one way)?
I drive 46.82 miles from Kenyon to Mendota Heights. It takes me about 50 minutes to get to work.
8. What time do you get up every morning for work?
Usually about 6:30 AM.
9. What is your definition of sleeping in late?
Since we moved into the house, I haven't slept in later than about 9:30 AM.
10. Do you check your cholesterol on a yearly basis and what is it?
I checked it once in 2005 (190) and again last year (207). I'll probably have it checked again this year.
11. How large was your first cell phone and do you remember what it was?
It was a pre-paid cell phone that I bought at Sam's Club for $30. It was a TracFone.
12. Does your employer provide good health insurance?
It's decent enough for my needs. This year I went with the single high deductible plan which has cheaper premiums, but I have to pay out-of-pocket for all services until I reach my deductible amount.
13. Did you use the internet to write a research paper?
Yeah. It was for a photography class and I thought the assignment was lame, so I plagarized somewhat. The professor figured it out and called me on it. I didn't care. I dropped out of the class because it bored the hell out of me.
14. Have you attended a HS reunion?
I almost went to our 10-year out of curiosity, but they wanted $40 per person for dinner. Facebook has been a fantastic way for me to re-connect with old friends. I'll probably never need to go to a reunion because of it.
15. How many jobs have you held in your professional career?
'Professional career' is sort of a loose term for me. I escaped retail hell in 1998 where began my career in an office setting at a medical clinic (thanks to my mother-in-law.) Since then I've hopped from admin job to admin job. I've held six jobs as either a receptionist or administrative assistant. I've only recently begun to consider myself a professional in this field because of my experience.
17. What is your favorite drink?
I enjoy a Bailey's once in a while, but I really prefer bold, dry red wines.
18. What is the most expensive bottle of wine that you have in your residence?
I don't have any wine in the house right now. I've probably spent $15 on a bottle before.
19. Have you been married?
Yep. I am currently married.
20. How old were you when you stopped getting ID'd for Alcohol?
I still get ID'd. It's not an option for most liquor stores.
21. Favorite casino?
I hate casinos; even the ones in Vegas. As for the resort/hotel part, my favorite is the Luxor.
22. Are you happier now than you were in high school?
Overall, yes. I live life on my terms now.
23 Did you ever have Hypercolor shirts?
Yes.
24. Do you remember when Michael Jackson was black and was attracted to women?
I sure do. I remember watching Thriller for the first time on a big screen tv at the local roller skating rink. That was a huge deal to me at six years old!
25. Do you remember when MTV actually played music videos?
I do! We never had cable, so I only got to watch MTV when I went over to my friend Laura's house or when I visited great grandma Lizzie when visiting Fort Dodge. I used to squee all the time when they'd play Def Leppard.
26. Have you had a will made?
Not yet.
27. What music was in your cd / cassette player when you were 16?
I have absolutely no idea what I listened to back then. Must not have been very memorable.
28. Favorite fancy / upscale restaurant?
Prescott's in Rochester. Mark and I dined there on NYE last year. The food was amazing and we shared a fantastic glass of Malbec wine.
29. Where were you when you found out about 9-11?
I was at work and walked by a conference room where people were watching the news on tv. Once I sat down at my desk, I turned on the radio and found out exactly what was happening.
30. Do you have any children yet?
No, and I don't plan on having any.
Sadly, no. I do regret my decision not to go to college after high school in some respects. However, I've never been a good student, and I get very restless and anxious in a classroom setting.
