Go to girl

What are you good at? I’m not the best employee but I’m usually respected. I am not sure if I seem approachable or appear smart but I’m the person people go to for questions. At work I get a lot of questions; mostly related to my job, but some not. Once someone asked me theContinue reading “Go to girl”

It takes a village

Share a story about someone who had a positive impact on your life. I had a wonderful family and loving parents and I don’t take them for granted. But friends parents were the surprise impact for me. Not just one parent but several parents. Yes, there were the jerky parents that made me grateful forContinue reading “It takes a village”

Definitely not Accounting

What’s your dream job? As much as I love my job I think that my next career would be something with kids or helping people. I don’t have a dream job per se but there are things that I would love to do. It would not be sitting at a desk all day. I wouldContinue reading “Definitely not Accounting”

Cross country

Think back on your most memorable road trip. I drove cross country in my 20s to start a new life, or at least a change. The journey started with my aunt and her friend. We had 2 cars and 3 drivers. My car was packed with my stuff, ready for my new adventure. It wasContinue reading “Cross country”

The Door Knob

Last year my family and I were in Spain. We rented an apartment (I’m sorry to the locals that we are doing this). It was a building probably done in the mid 20th century and it had a European appearance (duh). The door to the apartment had the knob in the center of the door.Continue reading “The Door Knob”

Manga

What is your favorite place to go in your city? The North End, Boston’s “Little Italy”. The food is fantastic and it has an old world charm about it. I try to go there at least once a year. I was there a couple months ago for a work event and walked through there. I’veContinue reading “Manga”

He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother

Describe a family member. My bother is about 6 years older. As kids he would waffle between looking after me and torturing me. He was a good big brother and I always thought he and his friends were cool. When our dad died young, my brother took over as a surrogate father. He took careContinue reading “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother”

Perfect 10

What are your top ten favorite movies? 10? Yikes, I’m not sure but here goes. Movies that I love, made me think, or are just comforts. I’m not putting in quotes, sue me. That was easier than I thought, definitely thought of some others but this will do. Now I want popcorn and milk duds.

More sleep

What’s one small improvement you can make in your life? I don’t have the best sleeping habits. I try to go to bed early but sometimes I stay up late doing something silly or I fall asleep on the couch. I’m trying to be mindful of having restful sleep with no interruptions.

Family vacations

Have you ever been camping? In the 80s my family has a leisure van, I probably could have omitted “In the 80s”. It had captains seats in the front and a bench seat in the back so we sat sideways but had a great view of everything. We traveled a lot in it, going toContinue reading “Family vacations”
