If you could volunteer your time to any cause, what would it be? Why?
Submitted by Dyluk.

Hmmm, I used to hand out communion at a retirement community, but that was when I was Catholic. I wouldn't mind volunteering just to spend time and talk to them, though.

What makes you a good (or bad) neighbor?

good neighbor - We take good care of our lawn, and make sure our pup doesn't bother anyone or their property.

bad neighbor - I have no idea who the people that live around me are, and won't make an effort to meet them (that's all I can think of lol)

If you were ordered to become a prison guard for alleged terrorists and live at Guantanamo, what would you find most difficult about your job?

It would probably be knowing that not everyone there had really done anything, and are being kept more out of fear and hatred, than a danger to the American public.

So many questions rolling around in my head, and I can't post them on LJ. If I did, there would be a flood of emo replies, and I don't want to have to deal with it.

Moving. I keep wondering to myself if it would be best to move. Start over fresh somewhere nobody knew us. New friends, no family, new job. Of course, we can't do that until Vern graduates, and we can sell off the house. I love the house, but not enough to be miserable.

I'm jealous of Vern, and feel sick realizing it. I had decent grades in school, and should have a degree by now. Instead, I'm the one working while he goes to school. He keeps throwing the :but you can go too" thing at me like it's a freakin prize. Sure..I can go, so long as class is out be 10:30am, or starts around 8pm. I still have to work 40hrs a week, and I have to pay for books, and cover up-front tuition. (work will reimburse me for the cost of classes) So really...I can't. I wouldn't have time for homework or studying, I wouldn't be able to afford it, and there no way classes would revolve around my schedule.

I was going to say I hate work, but that's not true, I hate the ungratful and rude customers. I spend more time at work wishing I could smack someone (or drink heavily), than I get told to improve. I improve my talk time...now my QAs aren't perfect. I fix my QAs and keep my talktime low...now I'm in trouble for taking a few bathroom breaks. I should apparently be on the phones constantly, unless I'm on breaks. Averaging 18calls per hour, having 100% QAs, all without using after call work, or placing them on hold. I just don't know how much longer I can do this.

All the while, I should be cooking& cleaning, and how dare I want to read when Vern wants to have a conversation or spend time together?
And I should be more social...even when getting turned down by everyone I've asked to hang out. You know, because it's not healthy to niot relax...with your imaginary friends??

I dunno, I just feel like I'm wound too tight, and can't find a way out. I want to leave not only this state, but this country, and just start completely over. I want to forget everything and everyone that's had a negative impact on my life, and just be free.

If you had to teach something, what would you teach?

phone etiquette, apparently I'm good enough at it that people at work can't picture me being rude. Ever.

What was the worst rule your parents imposed when you were a teenager?

Honestly, looking back at it, there was nothing they imposed on me that was that uncalled for. Back then there were a lot of things I considered "unfair" that were really just for my own good.

If you could choose any time period in which to have been born, which one would you pick?
Submitted by L33tchica.

There are good and bad things about every time period. With every "simpler time" there's also harsher conditions and poor medical knowledge.

Instead of being born in a different time, I would choose to be born in a different country. There just really isn't much left for me in this one.
