What do you do for a living? I work for an IT outsourcing company where I make and run reports to analyze and show how well my company manages IT infrastructure and resolves problems with that infrastructure. I’m also the only person who knows everything about how our time tracking system works. Yippee.
Tell us about your family, and who you live with… I live with my wife Lindsey, our children Noah and Lily, and our cat Piper.
Pen or pencil? Pen. I kicked the pencil habit in middle school. Pissed my math teacher off something fierce. But I figure hey, if I’m gonna make a mistake, I’m gonna make a big and permanent one! That and I love rollerball pens more than should probably be allowed in polite company.
Who was the last person you talked to on the phone? One of the people at my company who has routine brain farts about how the time tracking system works.
If you dont know the words to a song do you improvise? No. I generally learn them for next time. I only improvise when a song has really horrible lyrics (see: “More Than Words”), or the topic of the song is so trite that it is begging to be ridiculed (see: every Train song ever).
What Else? I can wiggle my ears. Much to the amusement of the ladies at Great Clips. I can also (occasionally) blow steam out of my mouth. I learned many skills like this from books, my father, and my own bored experimentation. And I plan on passing them on to my own doomed-to-be-eccentric children.
