So it's come to this

At work we have grown so much as a department that we are now doing “get to know you” stuff in our weekly meetings. They sent out a questionnaire for us to fill out to be used for this effort. Being the smartass that I am I was unable to do it seriously.

Enjoy

1. Where were you born and raised?

West Philadelphia, its where I spent most of my days.

2. How many siblings do you have? Where do you fall in line?

I have 4 siblings, when I fall its usually not in line…that would be awkward unless you have a fainting problem I guess. Maybe it’s a mineral deficiency? I should get that checked out.

3. If you are married or dating someone, how did you meet your significant other? What did you do on your first date with that person?

I have known my wife since grade school. Our first “date” was when she asked me to a dance.

4. If you have kids, how many do you have and how old are they?

I have 2 kids and as of this writing they are 3 and 5 (subject to change)

Oh to have my penny eating career again, but it wasn’t sustainable for a family…too much change.

19. Who is your “best friend” at work? What is that person’s greatest quality, in your opinion?

I don’t like putting one work friend above the rest, its more of a friendship continuum. But we should definitely just remain friends.

I’m only mostly as handsome as is popularly believed. Still pretty handsome though.
