    Welcome To The Real World, Kiddies

    I work in IT - when I started with my current company over 20 years ago - we had a business dress code. Men had to wear suit and tie - even though we spent most of the day sitting in a cubicle.

    Most annoying customers you have had in your job?

    Years ago I worked part-time at a Radio Shack in a mall (I had a full-time job - was just working part-time for extra cash).

    Have you ever handed in your notice, then packed your stuff and...

    Back in my younger days I had gotten a job at a supper club as an assistant chef. It was terrible - the owners were just nasty. There was a lot of turnover and when people gave notice they were treated like dirt ..... "Oh, you're too good for us, you think you can do better elsewhere?" type...

    What was the first Disney movie you remember going to?

    101 Dalmatians during its initial release in 1961 - I was 5. The movie had come to our small town local theater and my dad had me all excited about going. We get to the theater and the 7pm showing was sold out - I was crushed. Dad took me home, put me down for a short nap and then took me to...

At the time our bed didn't have a headboard - so we took some cardboard boxes, taped them together, then covered them with a black sheet to make a "temporary" head board. It actually looked rather nice = which is probably why it took us almost 15 years to...
