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?
