I sit now when doing number 1. Or do you mean number 2 on your list?

I like to sit now drinking my coffee instead of rushing, just taking my time.[:)]

Ahh, a nice break from teaching "those I can't mention" about life.

1. I only communicate via email. I hate face to face interaction. IM requires too much quick thinking too.

2. Self-starters are over rated. I need very detailed instructions.

3. I believe in individualism, meaning I am NOT a team player...leave me the hell alone.

4. If you expect me to work a full eight hours, then you have huge problems. No one "works" 8 hours.

5. I don't think this would be a problem at Matrix, but...women should be in the kitchen or mixing me drinks all day, like in Mad Men.

6. I don't like-anyone.

I would mess around with people's avatars. For example, I would replace Steiner's avatar with a pic of that officer that was after the Iron Cross. [:D]

1. Matrix is utilizing MS technologies and I refuse to work with anything not based on UNIX.
2. They couldn't convince 2by3 to introduce a WITP-style air-combat in WitE.

I drink beer and eat sausages. I sell smart-ass comments on the commodities market and I train my dog to do stupid tricks. I climb ladders and replace light bulbs, I drive to the grocery store when necessary. I float in the tub. When I'm feeling saucy I smoke a cee-gar. I run like the wind and can sing the Alan O'Day hit "Undercover Angel" without snickering.

I sell subscriptions to obscure newsletters. I read Sun Tzu. I play darts with the less gifted. I go to malls and look menacing. I taunt the overweight and then run away.

I stomp grapes. I dance like Nietzsche and live like Thoreau. I wobble but I don't fall down.

I pontificate. I cat-call and heckle. I smoke turkeys. I don't eat the pasta-salad.

I make paper airplanes during meetings. I enter contests where the first prize is a go-cart and can't sleep when the drawing date is near.

I shop and save. I fight my urges and lose on purpose. I watch "Gilligans Island" and dig Ginger. I watch "I Dream of Jeannie" and wonder how long I'd put up with Air-Force crap with that little magical snuggle bunny at home in her jammies.

I found Waldo. I dress accordingly. I sit still during church. I giggle when teachers say "asphalt" or "Uranus".

But most of all.... I love the Tide!

Do I qualify?

OOOHHHH, sorry H Gilmer-girl, but the Tide remark disqualifies you - for every thing. We Volunteer loyalists simply HATE you people!!!!

Other than having a mental handicap caused by the ugly color crimson, it sounds as though you have a great life.

1. i've seen their office, there is absolutely nowhere safe to string up my hammock

2. My main goal at work is to turn a gallon of coffee into a gallon of pee by knock off time*

3. I want a PC and a Mac

4. my secondary goal would be to restructure all hex based current games to random shape based games

5. Sexual inequality in the workplace, if i ain't getting none then no one should be

6. *Knock off time would be flexible in my favour, conceivably finishing work for the day might even precede starting work for the day**

7. **Start time would require a optimum flexability descretionary clause (see reason 6)

8. I believe i am less of a team player than parusski, and would go to extreme (some may say psychotic) measures to prove it

9. five days and 40 hours? Oh dear don't be silly!
