Greetings. Went question shopping, so hopefully these questions are better than Saturday's.

Sunday's Questions:

-At any place you have worked were you ever named the 'Employee of the Month'?

-If your employer had a company Christmas party or some other party, was it laid back and calm or did it usually end when the police and/or the fire department got called?

-Have you ever been mentioned in a newspaper or magazine article?

-Did you grow up in a small community or a large city?

-Did you ever have to commute to work using public transportation such as a bus or train?

-How likely do you think you will move more than 100 miles away someday?

-Have you ever run over a skunk or been near one that just sprayed something?


Well, I guess it is time to wrap up things.

Sunday's Questions:

-At any place you have worked were you ever named the 'Employee of the Month'?
Yes, both Mr. Bay and I have been employee of the month.
-If your employer had a company Christmas party or some other party, was it laid back and calm or did it usually end when the police and/or the fire department got called?
It was relatively tame.
-Have you ever been mentioned in a newspaper or magazine article?
Yes, in our local paper when I was seven years old. Our house caught fire in the middle of the night, and I was the one who woke up, smelled smoke and alerted the rest of the family. The headline said "Girl, 7, Saves Family." They spelled our last name wrong, but other than that it was a big thrill. I was also mentioned once in Herb Caen's column in the San Francisco Chronicle. I had sent him a copy of a newspaper ad promoting canaries as "the perfect stocking stuffer."
-Did you grow up in a small community or a large city?
Suburbs.
-Did you ever have to commute to work using public transportation such as a bus or train?
Yes, I have commuted on cable cars, buses and subways.
-How likely do you think you will move more than 100 miles away someday?
Not very likely.
-Have you ever run over a skunk or been near one that just sprayed something?
Not yet (crossing fingers).

Thank you, Mr. Mutt!

Greetings. Went question shopping, so hopefully these questions are better than Saturday's.


Sunday's Questions:
-At any place you have worked were you ever named the 'Employee of the Month'?
Never worked anywhere that did that.
-If your employer had a company Christmas party or some other party, was it laid back and calm or did it usually end when the police and/or the fire department got called?
Somewhere between.
-Have you ever been mentioned in a newspaper or magazine article?
Who? Me?
-Did you grow up in a small community or a large city?
Suburbs of a large city mostly.
-Did you ever have to commute to work using public transportation such as a bus or train?
Most places I lived didn't have great public transportation when I was commuting.
-How likely do you think you will move more than 100 miles away someday?
Maybe.
-Have you ever run over a skunk or been near one that just sprayed something?
Glad I 've never run over one and not just because of smell. Have I smelled the spray? Many times. I was once outside at night when there was skunk smell. Heard a splashing sound of liquid on leaves. So it was near. I wondered if I was about to get sprayed but didn't.


Thanks, Mutt. Okay questions.
