Random Eights
Ben has tagged me with this meme. It’s a rather difficult one. If you read the list, you’ll know why.
The Rules:
1. Each player starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves.
2. People who are tagged write their own blog post about their 8 things and post these rules.
3. At the end choose 8 people to get tagged and list their names.
4. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged and to read your blog.
Eight random things about me
1. I broke my wrist while standing on the sidewalk in a brand new pair of skates, talking with my little brother. One of my feet gave out from under me, and I landed hard. Needless to say, I never wore that pair of skates again. It was a long time before I put on another pair of skates.
2. I hate wearing dresses because I have to wear panty hose and heels. I’m most comfortable in a pair of jeans and a T-Shirt.
3. I love having a slew of projects to work on at the same time.
4. I’m organized at work, but live in organized chaos.
5. I don’t need to get drunk to make a fool of myself. This quality has both positive and negative ramifications.
6. I tend to disappear in a crowded room.
7. I make a lousy first impression in job interviews because I feel that my skills have no real value. Therefore, when the interviewer says, “Tell me about yourself,” I stammer out whatever comes to mind, which usually isn’t much.
8. Today, I found out how much my co-workers care about me when I told them that my doctor thought I had a blood clot in my leg. I hope to keep in touch with these people when this contract ends.
There you have it. Eight random facts about me. Consider yourself tagged.

Thanks for playing. I used to do the same in interviews, but now I think I’ll be a little more confident now that I’ve worked somewhere, lol.

This is a nice way of learning a little about people, isn’t it? I enjoyed learning more about you.
Oh, Deborah, I like this template, but it’s not loading properly - are you aware of that? Or is it just me? (I’m using Firefox on IE, at the moment.)

You’d love my wife.

Ben: Thanks again. I’ve been on many interviews, but have never been able to shake the anxiety that comes because of them. Best wishes!
Karen: Thank you. After reading what I wrote, I worried that I was that I was too honest. As for the blog template, it worked fine on IE at work. I’m having my son check his computer right now to see if anything is out of whack. Is it broken on your system?
Michael: Yes, I think I would get along with your wife just fine.
