| 1 | If I have enough sick/vacation time, I tend to stay home at the beginning of an illness, when it might help to sleep half the day. After that, if I get sick anyway, I go back to work unless I have a really sore throat (I do phone support), have a fever, or can't think clearly. Work does not believe in the "stay home and keep your germs to yourself" theory. | This is a question about taking Sick Days at work (or staying home from school if you are a full-time student). How sick do you have to be? What factors tip the scales when you're deciding whether to stay home sick or not? How do you handle being sick? |
| 2 | Mostly, we see my mom. My mom certainly knows the most about our life - who our lovers are, etc. Next, my dad. We probably don't see my husband's parents half as often as we see my dad. Part of this is our choice, but part of it is the parents. My parents visit us every month or two, but my husband's parents visit maybe once a year. His parents may visit more when they are both retired, but they also just aren't as social as my parents are. | If you are married or in a committed relationship, which of your sets of parents do you see more of? |
| 3 | I like to go to a party about every other week. I used to like going out to music clubs or something about every three or four weeks, but that's not part of my current kid-oriented lifestyle... | How important is it for you to "go out" on Friday and Saturday night? |
| 4 | This is a bit of a fudge, since Paul and I get some magazines together. I think I'd still get "Cook's Illustrated" and "Country Journal" on my own. We also get "Mother Earth News" and sometimes we get "The Economist." He gets some others that I don't look at, and Kylie gets "Ladybug." Oh - wait, we're getting "Anything That Moves," now - okay, 3-4 works for me, but the household gets 7-9... | How many magazine subscriptions do you currently maintain for your own enjoyment? |
| 5 | Children's books make me cry, and I hate it. I can't get through "Courderoy" or "Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse" without bursting into tears. I don't understand this. I like reading aloud, and this really interferes - I have to read these books a lot before I can get through them. I also hate crying in public, or crying when I am frustrated or angry, which happens much more than crying when I am sad. It takes a situation where I already feel like I don't have enough control and takes it even more out of my control. | It's all right to cry ... |
| 6 | Okay, I haven't painted those scratches yet, but I willl RSN. (Really!) In general, I find cars very dirty and gross to work on, and would much rather pay someone else to do it. I like things with moving parts, so I can force myself to deal with light lubricants, but once you start adding other icky (messy/toxic/smelly) liquids, I don't want to touch it. I deal with mild manures (horse & cow) much better than gasoline. | How much car maintenance do you perform on your vehicle yourself? |
| 7 | Fair to men and women, and keeps the cats out. | In what configuration do you generally leave your toilet seat? |
| 8 | I occasionally hug people that are more acquaintances than friends if the social situation would make it awkward not to - for example, I meet up with three friends and an acquaintance, we talk for a long time, and there are hugs all round with the goodbyes - in this case, I will usually hug the acquaintance if he or she seems to want or expect it. | Who do you hug? |
| 9 | I have two problems with my first name. Frequently, people who read my name, Frances, see it as Francis and think I'm a guy, and people who hear my nickname, Francie, hear it as Francine. I don't mind the first one - the results can be kind of amusing, but the second one really bugs me, because I hate the name. I also don't like people deriving their own nicknames - some idiot in administration put me on the phone list as "Fran" which is a name I tolerate only from old people and my Irish-American relatives. Oh - and when I traded "Surprenant" for "Selkirk" I thought I would only have to tell people "one 'L'". No such luck. We get a lot of stuff for the Felkirks, Sellirts, etc. | Do other people have trouble with your name? |
| 10 | Wow - not the question I was expecting. I thought this would be choices between "Turkey on Rye with lettuce, light on the mayo" vs. "A turkey sandwich. I'd like that on the rye bread, with lettuce, but no tomato, and mayonaisse, but just a little of that." | How do you order a sandwich at a deli? (Chose the closest approximate answer to what you most frequently use). (Duh, if you don't eat sandwiches, imagine something close). |
