Today's Question(s):

What things are you extra territorial and/or protective about ?
Probably lots of things because I live alone... am probably very set in my ways but any house-guests are most likely too polite to say anything.


Extra Credit Question:

In honor of "National Grouch Day"

Who is the grouchiest person you have recently had contact with ?
I haven't come across any Grumpybums for ages... lucky me!

What is the last thing that got you all "grouchy" ?
Airport queues, long security lines, squishy plane seats and inconsiderate fellow passengers - during last vacation in June/July.


Bonus Question:

In honor of "Get Smart about Credit Day"

When was the last time you checked your credit report ?
Never have.

Do you know your credit score ?
We don't have the same scoring system here in Australia... but I know my credit rating would be excellent. The banks are always trying to lend me vast fortunes... and I don't even have a job!!


Just for Fun:


Halloween is only 2 weeks away so I have to ask

How many of our QOTD family has bought their "Trick or Treat" candy "
Halloween isn't big downunder... so I'm not expecting any trick or treaters, but if they do turn up I shall grudgingly share some chocolate with them.

How many have not only bought their candy, but oops couldn't resist "sampling" some and have to go buy more ?
Well, if I'd bought any, I definitely would have sampled it... would most likely have polished it all off by now.

Have a fun-filled Friday!

Today's Question(s):

What things are you extra territorial and/or protective about?


I'm very possessive about my inventory reconciliation work. I've had to share parts of it because the job has gotten so huge that I can't get it all done by our deadlines for issuing financials, but I really hate giving up any of it. And I always go through the work that the others on the team do to make sure they did it right.

Extra Credit Question:
In honor of "National Grouch Day"

Who is the grouchiest person you have recently had contact with?


Probably myself.

What is the last thing that got you all "grouchy"?

Oh, there's a long list. Clueless marketing types, managers who make hiring decisions based on bra size rather than on skills and experience, IT staff who figure that since the report-generating job blew up on the final day of the month, nobody will notice if they just switch out the report from the next-to-last day of the month, and most of all, people who would like to make their problems my own so they can whine about me not solving them. I've had a fairly cranky couple of weeks.

Bonus Question:
In honor of "Get Smart about Credit Day"

When was the last time you checked your credit report?


It was a few months ago.

Do you know your credit score?

Yes.

Just for Fun:

Halloween is only 2 weeks away so I have to ask

How many of our QOTD family has bought their "Trick or Treat" candy?


Not I. I'll wait until it all goes on sale in the final couple of days of the month.

How many have not only bought their candy, but oops couldn't resist "sampling" some and have to go buy more?

That's another reason I wait until the last minute!
