Good afternoon guys....sure hope everyone is well. I seem to have caught myself a nice little case of that darn H1N1 so have been down and out for the past few days, but on the mend now thank God. I don't remember feeling that bad in a while...slept the better part of 48 hours straight on Sun/Monday. Sure glad that is behind me.

Today's Question(s):
Yesterday we spoke about our "dream hours" at work so thanks to one of our QOTD family today we are going to find out

If you could change jobs with a friend or family member what job would that be and why ?

No wanna change...just wanna retire.

Do any of your friends or family have a really unusual job ?

Our kids include:

A honest to God Rocket Scientist (Math Phd)
A USMC
An Air Traffic Controller
A GREAT mommie to 3 beautiful boys
A Navy Intel Specialist
A Supervisor at a Toyota Plant

They don't seem like unusual jobs to us, but I think it might be in the running for the most unusual blend for 6 kids???

Bonus Question:

What was the last thing that made you want to stand up and shout
"woo hoo I did it" !!!

Making the bed today for the first time in 3 days...having the energy to do that seems like a HUGE accomplishment after this stupid flu...


Extra Credit Question:

On trash day, do you put your trash out the night before or in the morning ?

Morning of

Have you ever had "anything" get into your trash ?

Not in a long time

Just for Fun:

Have you ever tried water skiing ?

Many, MANY years ago...almost drowned. For some reason after I feel forward immediately, I felt this overwhelming need to continue to hang on to the tow line...stupid, stupid, STUPID!!! My brain yelled to let go, but my hands would not listen...

If you haven't would you want to ?

No, that once was enough for me.

If you could change jobs with a friend or family member what job would that be and why ? I actually don't think I would change jobs with anyone else. I like where I am now.

Do any of your friends or family have a really unusual job ? No, although some of the things that happen at the job and some of the people are unusual. That's a different story, though...

Bonus Question:

What was the last thing that made you want to stand up and shout
"woo hoo I did it" !!! Completed that matching game that John1960 posted in Other Topics.


Just for Fun:

If you haven't would you want to ? Probably not... I know, I know... I'm a boring person. Oh well!

If you could change jobs with a friend or family member what job would that be and why ? Wouldn't want to trade jobs with family members or friends. I like my job a lot and would only prefer doing something completely different (be a photographer).

Do any of your friends or family have a really unusual job ? No.
Extra Credit Question:

On trash day, do you put your trash out the night before or in the morning ? The night before.

Have you ever had "anything" get into your trash ? No.

Just for Fun:

Have you ever tried water skiing ? No.

If you haven't would you want to ? No and I've had the opportunity to try it more often than I care. My in-laws have a motor boat and they love to be out and about with it and to water ski from time to time. I'm just not a ski fan, not even in snow!

Today's Question(s): If you could change jobs with a friend or family member what job would that be and why ? Cannot think of any other job that I would want. I have during my life, worked at many different 'jobs'. Librarian, Business Manager, Broker/Realtor/Owner of real estate company, 9-1-1 Dispatcher, Waitress, Grocery clerk and Delivery 'Boy'. , Accountant, Customer Service Rep., Door to Door Salesman, Barmaid, just to name a few. Yep, moved a lot and changed jobs when bored.

Do any of your friends or family have a really unusual job ? Not at this time.

Bonus Question: What was the last thing that made you want to stand up and shout..."woo hoo I did it" !!! When I took my older PC apart and installed memory, etc.
Extra Credit Question: On trash day, do you put your trash out the night before or in the morning ? Usually the day after....dumpster nearby!

Have you ever had "anything" get into your trash ?Why yes, a few wine bottles, cookie crumbs, candy wrappers....Oh, you mean, critters???? Well, yep, a couple of times when the lid wasn't on tightly...

[u]Just for Fun: Have you ever tried water skiing ? Yes, I have.

If you haven't would you want to ? Should have seen me try the very first time. Fell forward and did not let go of the rope. Had two of the most beautiful black and blue bruises on my thighs that you ever did see.
