Do you ever go to meetings, and everyone has to take a turn saying something about him/herself? Today, it was, "Tell us something about yourself that we wouldn't know from a work context."
"I used to be a fashion model in Japan."
"I'm an avid fly fisher."
"I have just published my first novel."
"My oldest son just graduated college, and my other son just had a bone-marrow transplant"
[It will soon be my turn. What the hell am I going to say?]
"I'm a personal trainer."
"My daughter was just diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome."
"I love to sing."
It's my turn. I stand, still uninspired, and hear myself say, "I'm passionate about cranberries."
Sad. A sad reflection.

Well, it's something they wouldn't know unless you told them!
And they are very good for you!
"Hi, my name is John, and I have a PhD in Scatology." :)
(You say this with a straight face & most people have no clue what you just said....which justifies the wisdom of my previous entry...."if you can't impress them with what you know...baffle them with bullshit".)
BTW - does anyone know how you ship a bottle of wine to Utah??? Anyone???
John
John.....very carefully!
John, my dear-
I'm afraid that you can't ship wine into Utah. It has to be smuggled in.
I love that answer!
Now... that's funny. I don't care who you are, that's funny stuff.
OMG, I hate those "have to say something" things.
Cranberries... I AM passionate about them today - it's make the sugar-free cranberry sauce for T'day day. No HFCS in mine :)
Enjoying your blog as usual.
I burst out laughing at that. And you know, Kate...if I had been in that room, I would have wanted to sit right by you..
I would have said something like, "My name is Maria and I can't stand to sleep without moisturizing my feet first...."
yeah...it's an unknown secret...so there....
