(X) Smoked a cigarette
(X) Had feelings for someone who didn’t have them back
( ) Been arrested

  1. Any nicknames? None. In fact, never.
  2. Mothers name: None of your business
  3. What is your favorite drink? Water. With booze: A semi-dry white wine or a good ol' gin&tonic
  4. Tattoos? None. I've thought about it but can't decide what I'd like permanently drawn on me for the rest of my life.
  5. Body piercing? None. Sounds too - fussy. Risk of infection crap and all that.
  6. How much do you love your job? A lot. In fact, I'm surprised I still love what I found to do over 17 years ago.
  7. Birthplace: Long Beach, California - because that was the closest hospital
  8. Favorite vacation spot? None. I rarely like to go back to the exact same place, unless it's to visit someone.
  9. Ever been to Africa? No, but when I was younger I wanted to go. The desire has decreased.
  10. Ever eaten cookies for dinner? Sure.
  11. Ever been on TV? No.
  12. Ever steal any traffic signs? No, but wanted to. My German teacher in high school had a long one from Wales he'd pilfered while on vacation there and I thought that was rather cool. Tourists in Norway steal "moose warning" signs a lot.
  13. Ever been in a car accident? A couple of small ones.
  14. Was it your fault? None of them were.
  15. Salad dressing? Blue cheese!
  16. (Tim omitted this one, understandably) A, B, C, D, DD cup size? B/C
  17. Favorite pie: Pumpkin.
  18. Favorite number: None. I'm with Tim. What's with having favorite numbers?
  19. Favorite movie: Oh, man... Decisions, decisions. I can't pick one.
  20. Favorite holiday: None. They're all different, and I like them all for that reason.
  21. Favorite dessert: None. I'm not a dessert person.
  22. Favorite food: Spaghetti.
  23. Favorite day of the week: Friday. Everybody's happy and I feel free because it's the start of the weekend.
  24. Favorite brand of body soap: None. I'm not brand loyal.
  25. Favorite TV Show: Decisions, decisions. Meh, OK, here's one: Law & Order.
  26. Favorite toothpaste: Sensodyne Whitening. Right, you've heard of that. It's for sensitive gums, has no triclosan (anti-biotic) or that something-laureate that makes it foam but that can irritate mouths and is mildly bleaching (not that I've noticed on my teeth). So that's why.
  27. Favorite smell? Roses!
  28. What do you do to relax? I drink a cup of calming herbal tea or maybe do some yoga.
  29. Do you have a message to your friends reading this now? Thank you for reading this far. :-)
  30. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Oh, I hate these kinds of questions. I don't even know where I'll be in 10 minutes! I assume I'll still be working and living right where I am. I have no reason not to.
  31. What do you do when you are bored? I am rarely bored.
  32. Ever been in love only to have your heart broken? Sure, but I usually do the breaking (up).

I've lived long enough to know that trouble is a distraction from fun.

Cleaning out my surf-box

-
I have a folder in my mail application, labelled "surf" into which goes e-mails containing links to sites to read or explore later. Most of the mails are from myself to myself. Here are some gems worth sharing: It’s not what you plan to do that comes first, it’s what you’re willing to give up to make time and space to do it. From the Lifehack article Letting Things Go , which is a good read for us procrastinators. It touches on one reason we don't do what we want to do: We simply don't make the time for it. Somewhat related to the above is Merlin Mann's suggestion for getting a fresh start by replacing one project . Find something that gets you really excited and makes you feel energized and hopeful about the prospects in your life. Pretend for a moment that you can finally scratch an itch that you may never have acknowledged until now. [...] Excise something stupid, and undertake something cool. Widgety goodness - via your browser (seems to work in Camino

Brave enough, after all

Prologue : I am no longer on partial sick leave. I am considered well and am back to work 100%! I have new tasks but am the master of my day, even though my work calendar has never been as full as it is now! Now: I was tasked with teaching some part-time workers about what a beta tester does at work, the temporary position I was in for over 18 months while on partial sick leave. And having not ever done this before, I was easily driving myself crazy. Eventually, after trying to plan the lesson and more or less succeeding, I got to a point where I started to settle down. Where I realized that it was hard to know if I was doing this right because it had never been done before. There is no measure for success for this yet. It started with a couple of things: A visit to my doctor's where I realized that "Trust, not doubt" (in Norwegian: "Tillit, ikke tvil") was my new mantra or motto. That was followed by an instruction from an online course that read, &quo
