Writer's Block: Call Me

2009-06-02T14:18:39Z

Do you still use a landline at home, or do you rely completely on your cell phone?

View other answers

You can tell I haven't had my morning coffee, because the first time I read the question, I thought it was about having a landMINE at home.

"Why, no, I don't use landmines any more. As per the Geneva Convention, I've switched to more humane death-traps."

:-P

Actually, I still have a landline, as I trust it more in an emergency than my cell phone. Besides, it gives me one more way to call in to Dancing with the Stars.

Have you ever tried to change yourself for someone you were in a relationship with (or wanted to be in a relationship with)? Did it work?

It never works. You just wind up unhappy and resentful and the other person, unless a complete dolt, will wind up feeling cheated and resentful.

Writer's Block: Seven Days

2009-04-08T01:41:12Z

Which day of the week do you least look forward to? And which one do you most anticipate?

View other answers

As many others have said, I least like Mondays because it's hard to get back to work after a nice weekend. (Even harder if the weekend wasn't good!)

I most like Fridays because I can wear casual clothes at work and because the whole day is less hurried and relaxed.

Writer's Block: Out of Uniform

2009-04-03T14:25:00Z

Do you change clothes when you come home from work or class? What do you put on?

View other answers

I have to wear 'business casual' for work. That means no jeans and t-shirts except for casual Friday. So I wear nice pants and a nice shirt during warm weather and change when I get home.

During the winter, though, corduroy pants and turtlenecks are acceptable, so that's what I wear to work and I usually don't bother changing.
