I NEVER do things like
this but
Liz “tagged” me to write five things on my blog that people might not know
about me – and I have a hard time saying no to Liz!
I figure it’s not such a
bad idea for us to get to know each other a little better. So how about this: I’ll write 5 things about me and you leave at
least one interesting thing about yourself in a comment?! Deal?
Tomorrow we’ll be back to
business as usual!
OK…
I have a horrible laugh
(although it has become my “trademark” and some people call it infectious). Since I laugh A LOT you can’t have a 5 minute
conversation with me without hearing it!
When I was 1 my parents
bought a Great Dane (and then acquired 3 more). For my first few years I was raised around a constant stream of
puppies. It was heaven!
To get my first job, I
lied! I said I was 18 when I was only
15. I was a waitress. After 6 months I was promoted to a
supervisor. I was 15 and managing people
twice my age. It was a humbling
experience.
My mother says I’m always
in a rush. I graduated high school at 16
because I was bored. I got my Bachelors
and Masters on the same day (at 21) and couldn’t wait to get out into the work
world. I’m addicted to progress (to
change!). I have developed a little
more patience with age, but I still find it very difficult to stop moving.
Once when I was on a cross
country flight with my husband I shared something I thought was interesting
from the book I was reading. Noticing
that I had highlighted this point on the title
page he rolled his eyes and said “this is going to be a very long flight”. (The book was ReImagine! by Tom Peters.)
more people so: Ellen Weber, Philippa Kennealy, Valeria Maltoni,
Rob (a.k.a. iScatterlings) , and Blaine Collins – you’re it!
Tag; Im it! Tag; youreit!
It started somewhere
then Phil Gerbyshak, the relationship geek, tagged Liz.
In SOB fashion, Liz Strauss tagged Ann.
Ann Michael, who loves a challenge, tagged me.
Tag Im it! So here are 5 things about me that you didnt kn…
5 Things
Ann over at Manage To Changetagged me to provide you with 5 Things you do not know about me.
Now I suppose you all know I like a challenge so here goes:
1. You may not know it but I am scared of spiders. Yes, despite my name which is linked to a spider…
Robert – I can’t wait until you’re well rested and we get to learn a little more about you. Hope you had a great trip!
Just got in from a weeklong trip to NY. Will do the 5 Things challenge tomorrow.
Now it is sleepybye time for the jetlag!
Valeria – you are such an interesting person that I can’t wait to see what you write!!!
Wow, Ann a tag and a link all within a few days of each other. Thank you. I do eat my proteins.
Now better stop my regular programming, I too cannot resist having some fun!
I’m addicted to progess, and yes – change too
Don’t ever change your laugh or I’ll be mad at you!
Delaney – I like your explanation! (I also have the smile wrinkles to support that theory!)
My Dean always says he can hear me laughing all the way down the hall…I think he means that in a good way? To me it means you and I are enjoying our lives and aren’t afraid to show it!
Mike – I don’t think I could change my laugh if I tried – but thanks for the kind words!
Liz – they would have stuck us in the cargo hold had we been together on that flight with reading material!
Gosh! It’s a good thing you and I weren’t sitting together on that airplane. We’d have been highlight and talking and laughing the entire flight. All of the people around us would have been rolling their eyes until they had headaches. 🙂
Great! I can’t wait to read yours.
(Alas, I’m not 15 years old anymore … but yo ucouldn’t pay me enough to go back that far!)
Nice to see you, Blaine!
Ann
I love it! “My 15-year old supervisor… ”
Tag accepted.
