2006-02-16 101 Things About Me
- I'm in the middle.
- Tallest (I think) on my Mom's side of the family, shortest on my Dad's
- I have an older sister.
- I have a younger sister.
- I have no pets.
- Marriage agrees with me.
- I tend to think randomly (hence the name of the site).
- Cancer runs in my family.
- My astrological sign is Out of Order.
- OK, it's Cancer.
- I like clear things... lucite, crystal, glass (clear or colored), instructions.
- I will eat any variety of cultural food.
- I will eat any variety of fast food.
- I am not a picky eater.
- I am ALWAYS forced to decide where to eat.
- It's because I'm always the one saying, "It's lunchtime, let's go!"
- When I decide, someone who made me choose says, "Nah, I don't want that."
- I have a bullet in my chest, just behind my right lung.
- After being shot, I told the family who helped me not die, "I'm from New York. Don't worry, this falls under the category 'Major Inconvenience'."
- The bullet is still there.
- I joke about it all the time.
- I see humor in EVERYTHING.
- Except death.
- A dead guy walks into a bar... it doesn't hurt him, he's dead. See... no humor at all.
- I am afraid to be alone, in the dark, outside.
- I love to read.
- I never get to.
- I like to write little programs that are a waste of time.
- I try not to do this at work.
- I don't like outsourcing.
- I used to like Dell and tout them for their business model.
- I've learned that this model has changed.
- I like to make people happy.
- I cater to my users at the expense of my projects (Gregg/Leon.. you didn't just read that!).
- I spent the ages of 14 and 15 very depressed.
- By age 16, I was emerging from that darkness.
- By age 17, I was very happy.
- I remained happy ever since.
- Depressing music had a lot to do with it.
- Knowing that others see darkness helps one to see and focus on the light.
- The darkness inside NEVER completely goes away.
- I am addicted to 42... I look for it everywhere.
- My middlle son has inherited some of that darkness.
- I wanted a Mohawk...
- or colored hair...
- or SOMETHING.
- I never did it.
- I always had a job, and thought a "punk" appearance was inacceptible.
- It started at age 11 with a paper route.
- At age 13, I caddied. I was a horrible caddie (4'11" and SKINNY!).
- At age 14, I took a job putting price labels on carpet samples.
- I assembled Sunday papers for 3 bucks a week after that.
- They tried to pay me in candy. I quit.
- At age 16, I worked at Service Merchandise.
- At age 17, I was laid off and went to Marshall's.
- Later that year, I went back to Service Merchandise.
- I got a car and started delivering Chinese food.
- The restaurant owners moved to Texas.
- Before they closed without telling me, I found out and left in an ungraceful manner. :(
- I missed Lilly and Phillip (the owners), but I wondered why two Chinese people picked names they couldn't pronounce (this is not a racial slur... it's a fact about two individuals).
- I worked at a yacht club for two summers. It was like being a member... there was nothing to do!
- The country club moved me to the golf course when the manager's son needed a job.
- I mowed grass and weed-whipped the sand trap edges. Sandblasting is an unlpleasant form of facial exfoliation.
- I guided the hose as they ironed and fungicided the greens.
- The iron was a liquid that looked remarkably -- and smelled somewhat -- like blood.
- I LOVED the golf course (after three weeks of soreness -- emotional AND physical).
- I had MUSCLES (not big, but well defined!!).
- I got a job at the computer center at college in sophomore year as a computer-lab aide.
- I went back to the golf course that summer.
- I got a call asking if I would stay at college and be an operator.
- I was a computer operator from that point on.
- And still a computer-lab aide.
- I delivered pizza.
- I did radio news (paid, at an AM station... in addition to free DJ-ing for the college station).
- I tutored.
- I was a workaholic.
- I got just under a 3.0 GPA coming out of school. Guess I worked too much.
- I submitted ALL of my resumes to San Diego.
- They ALL came back saying "call us when you live here -- we're not moving you".
- I got a job in Newark, NJ because Mom worked with a woman... her brother worked at AT&T... he had trouble finding a job after college... he hooked me up with his boss... I impressed him.
- AT&T "forced" me to move to Orlando.
- I left AT&T when they split up, put me in Lucent, and told me I'd likely move to Greensboro or somewhere in Colorado.
- I dumped a lot of this list into work-related items.
- Despite all that work, I have entirely NOT grown up.
- We demand responsibility and good grades from our kids.
- Beyond that, I push HEAVILY into creativity.
- I emphasize the right-brain heavily over the left, but value both. Creativity keeps one afloat. Logic keeps one from going adrift.
- I graduated college in '88.
- My graduation ceremony was the "42nd Commencement Ceremony" for my college.
- I met my wife in March of '90... three weeks after she moved to Florida from her parents home in Ohio.
- A friend was introducing me to girls, and then making sure I never met them again (I'm not the type to ask for a number on the first encounter). Michelle was one of them. I went to where she worked and asked her out. We were married in '91.
- That "friend" had a bad encounter with a girl in our group, and has since gone elsewhere.
- I like my in-laws (whole family... not just parents).
- My wife likes hers.
- I love British humor.
- And British New Wave (from the 80's).
- And the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
- I'm not sure I like this list.
- But that doesn't matter.
- Because it's almost complete.
- And I'm not feeling ambitious enough to go back and edit it. :)
How's that?
