Four for Friday

Sept. 29

Q1 - Sleep: When was the last time you pulled an all-nighter, and why? If you can't recall, then where's the most embarrassing place you've ever fallen asleep?

I can't remember the last all-nighter, but it's probably within the last 5 years. There've been a couple of middle-of-the-night trips to the ER in that time.

Since I can't dish anything good on that, I'll try the second question.... I don't remember the most embarrassing place I've been caught asleep, but I do know that when Sparky was a baby, I fell asleep a couple of times in the back room of the library. I was alone and just put my head down "for a sec" only to wake up 10 minutes or so later.

Q2 - Trust: Who do trust the most, or in what order would you rank your level of trust for each of the following: Clergy, Teachers, Police, Doctors, Print Journalists, Bankers, TV Newscasters, Scientists, Lawyers, Members of Congress, and Stockbrokers?

I trust Beast the most, then my oldest sister. I can't fully trust people I've never met. I'd say, of those listed, have somewhat more trust in clergy, teachers, doctors, print journalists and scientists than in any of the others, with police directly on the 50/50 mark and most of the rest falling handily into Trust But Verify mode.

Q3 - Sick: When you're sick, do you prefer to be left alone or do you like to have someone attending to your every whim and desire?

I like to be checked on periodically, but I don't like someone standing over me. It sorta depends on what I've got going on, too. If it's the kind of illness where you can and should sleep, then just let me sleep. If it's like yesterday, I like having someone to bounce ideas and questions off of (and someone to whine to!).

Q4 - Sidekick: If you could pick any cartoon character to be your very own personal assistant, who would you pick and why?

Opus. I love Opus. Opus is the perfect sidekick/friend.
