1. Where will you be and doing this Tuesday afternoon? Hopefully I'll be walking a little faster as I go from bedroom to sofa and back again. I'm recovering from surgery on Sept. 9. I want each day
to be a little better than the day before.2. Do you belong to any group(s)? I'm a registered Democrat and a member of my church congregation.
3. Do you feel energized or drained by being in a group situation? (If the answer is "it depends," on what does it depend?) If it's a professional situation, I'm energized because I'm most confident there. Socially, group situations can really tire me out because I'm not as sure of myself.
4. Is there a role you naturally put yourself while adapting when in group situations? Interviewer. I try to draw people out and get them talking about themselves.
5. In business or formal situations, do you mind hugs or are you offended if it goes past a handshake? I think business hugs are weird, yes.
6. Do you find what we'd call “ice breakers” a playful way to build community in a lighthearted manner, or a complete and utter hell of forced fun and awkwardness? Oh, the latter!
7. What word do you use far too frequently? "Fuck." Shame on me.
8. What word do you use not frequently enough? "Gubernatorial." It's great fun to say. "Penal" is good, too. Fortunately, being from the Land of Lincoln, I do get to use both words in the same sentence.
9. What word do you use when swearing is not appropriate? "Golly." It's a weak and unsatisfying substitute.
I hope your post-op recovery is going well and have to agree, "golly" is most definitely not as satisfying! Reiki healing to you :)
ReplyDeleteYou lived! That's a great start. You must be glad to have it over with, but recovery does hurt.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the ice breakers. Spare me!
ReplyDeleteYes- a free pass to use those words!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
