Carry A Tune Meme

From Sunday Stealing.  Hope everyone has a great week this week!

Do you own a tablet of any kind? What’s something people always assume about you that isn’t true?
I don't own a tablet, between a laptop and a phone I think I'm covered.

On a scale of 1-10, how much do elevators scare you?
 Not at all but I do get nauseous from time to time if it's a long elevator ride.

When you’re upset, do you vent to people or do you keep to yourself?
 I usually keep it to myself unless it's a good story to share.

Have you ever watched a meteor shower?
I have on several occasions.  I even went camping once for the sole purpose of staying up late to watch a shower.

Do you tend to put things off until the last minute?
Sometimes but not often.  I'd rather just get something unpleasant over and done.

How do you react to random strangers suddenly trying to make conversation with you?
I don't mind it at all unless they're trying to share the Book of Mormon with me.

Do you have a lucky number?
Not really.  If I had to pick I'd go with 32, the number I used for sports growing up. 

Would you go out to dinner with Oprah?
Sure, why not?  She's paying.

Did you ever play sports?
Basketball and tennis.  I excelled at tennis far more than basketball.

Do you feel guilty if you throw food away?
Yep.  I really try hard not to waste food, even when in restaurants, away from home. 

Do you think you could make it as a baker?
Probably.  Baking is the easiest form of cooking for me.  Just follow the instructions.

Are you one of those people who are wearing scarves with everything?
Not usually unless it's incredibly cold and then it's actually used and not a fashion statement.

Have you ever been in a castle? 
I have, in many.  Neuschwanstein Castle is my favorite of what I've seen.

When you were little, did you ever play with Playdoh?
Didn't every child?  I'm sure I ate some as well.

Would you rather write a mystery or love story?
A mystery novel as I read more of those.

Tell me about your worst fashion mistake. 
I remember wearing suspenders with a belt in high school.

Do you hate it when people smoke around you?
I don't mind it unless it's a really enclosed space.

How are you wearing your hair right now?
Short and a little messy on the top. 

When’s the last time you were sick?
Actually a little this week.  I've been a little under the weather from what I suspect was from a tetanus shot.  My arm has hurt like hell for four days as well.

Would you rather have OJ or milk with your breakfast?
Both!  If given only one choice I'd have to go with milk.

What were you doing thirty minutes ago?
Making the bed.  Ah that fresh sheets smell!

Do you own any school related clothing articles?
Oklahoma State apparel. 

Would you rather call people or have them call you?
Neither.  I hate talking on the phone.  If pressed I'd rather do the calling.  I'm probably not going to answer your call unless you're family or a select few.  Sorry/not sorry.

Can you carry a tune?
Only in the shower!

Who was the last person who unexpectedly texted you?
Probably my mom asking why I withdrew so much money from the ATM.  She was wanting the other David, my dad.

Who do you text the most? 
It's probably close between my husband Dann and my mother.

Feel the Bern!

 

I got my Hillary signs the other day!  Suck it Bernie!  Not really.  I usually wouldn't put up a political sign so early in the season but I guess Super Tuesday is just around the corner and I have to balance out the evilness on the block, my neighbor has a Dr. Ben Carson sign adorning his yard.  Year in and year out he always picks the worst candidates.  Regardless of whom you support, get out there and vote on primary or caucus day!  Unless you're supporting Dr. Ben.  Then you should just do the world a favor and kill yourself.

I'm So Confused...

Drug Test Fail

Yesterday I had to go take a drug test for the city.  My other experiences with urine testing for other jobs, etc. was pretty mundane in comparison.  I was always just handed a bottle and shown to a one toilet bathroom to do my business.  Fill the cup, hand it to a tech and be on my way. 

Yesterday I was greeted by a very fancy man, tech, handling the samples.  He was clad in dress clothes, smart shoes, a bow tie, and a long coat, I'm thinking it was vicuña.  He had an air about him as if his shit didn't stink.  I thought, hey buddy, you're the one handling urine all day.  But whatever, this isn't what was odd about my visit...

We were instructed to follow the guy in the mink coat into the men's bathroom two at a time.  Not only was I going to be watched while pissing into a cup I had the pleasure of it being a ménages à trois.  Normally I'm pretty pee shy.  I'm the kind of guy who will head to a stall in a crowded public bathroom or wait until one is open.  Luckily I had prepared myself with a couple of glasses of water in the morning and a cup of hot chocolate on the way to the testing facility.  After inquiring how much was to be filled, I did my business but not without a bit of a struggle.  I proceeded to wash my hands and wait for the other tester.

From the middle stall I heard the second tester tell the tech he was unable to pee.  Before he could get a response he then added that he did have to take a shit and could probably urinate that way.  Shit.  His words not mine.  Embarrassed the tester told him to do what he has to do.  At this point I'm ready to bail on being in this bathroom.  Of course I wasn't allowed to leave individually.  I had to wait for the whole group.  Lovely.

I enjoyed this man taking a shit from three feet away.  Even worse than the whole ordeal and the smell:  after handing the tech his cup, the poop attack guy proceeds to grab the door handle and pull it as if to leave.  Mr. Fancy Tech asked him incredulously if he was going to wash his hands.  He bashfully did.

That was my morning yesterday.  How was yours?
