1. Do you have a college degree? No, and I really don't think that will ever happen. I just suck at school.

2. What was the amount of your last electric bill? I believe it was around $45. We have a service with Pacific Graft and Extortion where they average out our bills so we don't get slammed in winter when we actually need to use heat and the like. [livejournal.com profile] kshandra manages the bills, so I can't remember off the top of my head what that amount is.

3. Do you have life insurance? Yes, through work.

4. How many hours per week do you work? 40+ most weeks.

5. Have you ever attended a Toastmasters event? No.

6. Favorite place to attend Happy Hour? Not really a social drinker, so my idea of Happy Hour is the lunch time buffet at Round Table Pizza.

7. How many miles is your commute to work each day (one way)? 10 miles by car to get to work. Most days, I ride VTA home so the trip is a bit different.

8. What time do you get up every morning for work? Between 0500 and 0530.

9. What is your definition of sleeping in late? 0800. Even on the weekends I'm rarely in bed past 0700.

10. Do you check your cholesterol on a yearly basis? Yes, as part of my physical.

11. How large was your first cell phone? Heh, I'm still on my first cell phone. Little Nokia thing. I'm not what you call a bleeding edge guy.

12. Does your employer provide good health insurance? I get Kaiser. shrug Good enough, except for the places where they annoy me.

13. Did you use the Internet to write a research paper? Internet research was a big part of writing Ground Forces

14. Have you attended a HS reunion? No. Of course, I don't think my class had a 20th. We'll see what happens in 2009.

15. How many jobs have you held in your professional career? In the transportation field? Four.

16. Have you ever been fired or laid off from a job? Fired a few times, never been laid off.

17. What is your favorite drink? Jack Daniels straight up with a beer.

18. What is the most expensive bottle of wine that you have in your residence? Good question... Not really sure.

19. This Question has been deleted by the Department of Fatherland Homeland Securioty.

20. How old were you when you stopped getting ID’d for Alcohol? 30. Seriously, it took freaking chemotherapy to get me not look 14!

21. Favorite casino? Don't go to them.

22. Are you happier now than you were in high school? Hell, yes!

23 Did you ever have Hypercolor shirts? Don't think I've ever heard of them.

24. Do you remember when Michael Jackson was black and was attracted to older people? Yup. Of course, I remember Michael Jackson as a five year old with his own TV show.

25. Do you remember when MTV actually played music videos? Oh, yeah. Those were the days!

26. Have you had a will made? Several times.

27. What music was in your cd / cassette player when you were 16? Boom box, and it was probably The Who - Quadrophenia

28. Favorite fancy / upscale restaurant? The Melting Pot. But I'm far more a Denny's/Chili's type of guy.

29. How long has it been since you attended a kegger? About 20 years.

30. Where were you when you found out about 9-11? I was asleep, having just gotten home from my grave shift as a dispatcher at SuperShuttle. [livejournal.com profile] rosefox, who was living with us at the time, came into the bedroom to tell me the news. Spent the nect eight hours watching the news.

31. Do you have any children yet? I may have a son somewhere. Long story.

The only ones that were even close to formal classroom work was PLDC and the Field Hygiene and Sanitation NCO course. Neither lasted longer than two weeks.
