The Saturday Six brought to you by Patrick's Weekender

1. How many different time zones have you lived in? Which one would you most like to live in?
just one: Eastern. i'm pretty happy with this one--or maybe just used to it...

2. What is the current setting of your home's thermostat? Do you adjust it up or down based on the time of day, or leave it at one setting at all times?
78* and it stays that way. i don't touch the thermostat. i just adjust the clothing i am wearing.

3. Go to your bedroom closet (or the closet in which you keep the majority of your clothes. Take a quick glance: what color do you see the most of? Is this color your favorite color? If not, why do you have more of it than your favorite color?
white. it's not my favorite color...but i have very little that is ALL white--i have so much of it because it gets paired with so many other colors in patterns!

5. Imagine your dream house: how many stories would your ultimate home have?
just one. i have discovered that i don't really like having to climb up & down stairs. getting lazy in my old age huh? =P

6. Ripped from the Headlines: An underage teenager decides he does not want to undergo a particularly rough regimen of chemotherapy to treat his cancer. With his parents' blessing, he decides to pursue an alternate treatment to be supervised by a clinic that is outside of the country. Should a court intervene and force the teen to undergo the "traditional" treatment? How much does the prognosis for successful treatment with the chemotherapy affect your judgment?
if his parents have given their blessing, who am i to judge that? i think that in light of a non-traditional approach, the state should maybe provide the parents with as much information as possible, in case there is something that they did not see while researching this option...but beyond that, i don't think anyone should be *forced* to follow a particular method of treatment.

What A Way To Make A Living

If you did not work (or if you don't) how much TV would you/do you watch during the course of the day?
when i am home, it is usually on for background noise but i don't think i would actually WATCH it any more than i do right now.

How long have you held your current job and how does it rate against your former jobs as far as overall happiness?
2 years & 4 months--and it is, hands down, the BEST job i have ever had!

If you had to describe the thing done by someone at work that drives you the craziest, what would you say?
it isn't done by any one particular person. more generally speaking. i will just say: vacation time accrual vs availability

If you could have someone at your current place of employment fired, would you do so?
no way.

Do you work a typical "9 to 5" Monday through Friday work schedule?
Monday to Friday but i work 8-4:30...sometimes i work till 5. it all depends on the day & what work needs to be finished before i leave. if i'm going to work till 5, it usually happens on Tuesday (setting up for payroll), Wednesday (if the guys golf) or Friday (running weekly reports for the Monday morning production meeting).
