Do you subscribe to any weekly news magazines?

 

[M4P]

Do you get out of bed at the first sound of your alarm or hit the snooze button a few times?

 

[Sausy]

When I have to have the alarm on,snooze button once or twice usually.

Ever been late for work?

 

[M4P]

Very rare - maybe once or twice a year

Same ?

 

[Sausy]

A couple of times recently..too much putting on the snooze button...but not often.I'm a just on time person though,rarely early for work,either.

What's the best thing about your work,and the worst thing?

 

[M4P]

Best thing: Very comfortable atmosphere where I can be myself

Worst thing: I deal with the worst of the worst customers - they come to my office because no one else can or will deal with them

This is good - same question

 

[Sausy]

Dealing with nice customers I've become familiar with,and I get along well with my coworkers.

Having to deal with the all the items left lying around ends and aisles by thoughtless customers,and having to fix ends where a number of varieties on sale are mixed and not separated,causing gaps where customers try to pick out items they want buried in the bottom or back of a stack.


Do you work more often individually,or share tasks with a specific team?

 

[M4P]

Hard to answer... I work on a team sharing similar tasks but I am ultimately responsible and accountable for the tasks I'm assigned to

Not including a raise, what could your superior do to make your work place better for you?

 

[M4P]

Both - my phone rings non-stop and the computer is used for internal communication and reporting

Do you feel your rate of pay is fair for the work you do?

 

[M4P]

I'd put it towards buying a weekend/vacation property in the Rockies

Same ?

 

[M4P]

sounds good to me! Want me as a neighbour?

I think the four of us would enjoy memorable weekends and I would let you sneak a cigar with your cognac on my balcony

What is your favourite charitiable cause?

 

[M4P]

I contribute to the Southern Alberta AIDS Clinic and my other favourites are the foodbank and a couple of drop in centres for the homeless. I contribute by payroll deduction and my employer matches my contributions.

Do you do any volunteer work?

 

[chrmd1]

No I dont, but my family and I donate money for different charities.

Did you love Charmed?

 

[M4P]

I'd show them how giving a hand up rather than a hand out can make such a difference in a person's life and the overall quality of life for all of us sharing this community

You always ask the tough but important questions late at night

Who else wants to answer this question?

 

[dynk]

I can't find anything this morning. Sealed the granite counters in the kitchen yesterday and put eveything in boxes. where is that damn sugar?


^^^Sorry, I can't stand charmed.


What kind of kitchen counters do you have?

 

[operafan]

My kitchen counters are Corian - all white. I would never have particularly wanted it, but it came with the house.

Do you hold your Bf/partner's hand while you are driving?

 

[agj25us]

Definately...hands on knees, thighs.....but not enough to loose control of the car - he does likewise.........

How was your weekend??

 

[sherman]

Went to my 20th year high school reunion, first one that I have been to. It was and all boys Catholic High School. I had a great time and a few other guys were their with their partner which was cool.


Did you have a weekend and what did you do?

 

[M4P]

It's been great so far - today is Thanksgiving so it's not over yet

You?

 

[dynk]

Today is Columbus day, and my car is at the Toyota Dealership being repaired. So I am waiting for a call back.
