Monday Mission


Chrystal said in last week's Monday Mission that the chore she dreaded
most was having to "fold and put away clothes." What regular
chore(s) do you dread the most?

2. Have you ever tried any of the "tabbed" browsers like MyIE2,
Safari or Mozilla Firebird? Do you like it better than a one-window
browser? How come? no but I want to

3. I was told last night that normal people don't
spend as much time on the computer as I do. That if I'd devote that energy
toward something else, anything else, I could have probably cured cancer
by now. I don't think my time is wasted when I am on-line or otherwise
working on the PC, but maybe it really is more time than so-called
"normal' people. Do you ever get criticized for being on the
computer too much? How much time do you spend on the PC and/or on-line? Is
it too much time are or do they just not "get" us? Too much

4. One of the phrases I notice every week when read in
the job listings is "must be a highly motivated self-starter.." I have no
idea what that means. To me it sounds like what they really want to say is
"must be able to take a lot of crap and not complain." That could be why I
don't get many second interviews. In your opinion, what is a
"self-starter?" Are you a "self-starter?"  I'm not

5. Let's take that thought one step further: Write a Job Ad
that describes you perfectly (as you are now, not as your "ideal" self) as
well as the ideal job you'd like to get paid for doing. not sure

6. As you may know, I have (Adult)ADD in a bad way,
severe even. Although I'd very much like to be rid of it, I don't take
meds for it because they made me very irritable and very unpleasant to be
around. Do you take medications on a regular basis, or ever
attempted to? Have they caused any side effects? Is it worth enduring them
for the benefit you receive from the medication? yes no yes

7. Some things should just stay in the past, you know?
I've found many memories are better as memories. When you try to re-live
them they never seem to be able to live up to the memory. Maybe we
glamorize them over time. Or maybe they were as good as we think, but
something from "now" gets in the way and you just can't get past it.
What moment from the past have you tried to re-live that has
fallen short of the memory? none

BONUS: Didn't your mama tell you life is too good too
waste?
