Both. Again.<\/p>\n
1. What is the most ironic thing that has ever happened to you?<\/b><\/p>\n
Well, I’ve gotten a free ride on the streetcar when I had a pass that was good for that day. But it didn’t rain on my wedding day. (No, we didn’t have a “wedding day,” but that’s completely beside the point, now isn’t it? It didn’t rain that day!)<\/p>\n
2. Who is or has been the most influential person in your life and why?<\/b><\/p>\n
You know, I honestly don’t have an answer to that question at this point. My parents, my dad especially, shaped lots of things in my life. But I appreciate that I’ve been allowed to find my own way on many things….<\/p>\n
Maybe I can write about certain individuals who helped me gather a few important things?<\/p>\n
My high school football coaches, and my Army JROTC instructors helped me with punctuality. Being late as a broadcaster is a Bad Thing (TM). In all my years in radio, I think I was unexpectedly late for work maybe three times. Since then, I’m worse. I’ve been late for work a few times since I left radio. <\/p>\n
Only once did I really feel like it was something for which there was no good excuse. I forgot to set my alarm, and just overslept. <\/p>\n
Of course, there’s other things where I was influenced by things I’ve read. Not many of those are were case studies in how not to be “That Guy.” I am not “That Guy.”<\/p>\n
At work, I don’t suffer fools with much grace these days. There is a problem with that, however: much of what I consider foolishness is also considered “tradition.” So, you’ve done this task this one way for fifteen years.<\/p>\n
Give me a minute. I might find the fuck I’m not giving. Just because you’ve always done something one way doesn’t mean it’s eternally the right way <\/p>\n
At the same time, I’m open to hearing a compelling argument. Even if I’m initially skeptical about something, you might be able to convince me.<\/p>\n
Now I’m doing a really lousy job answering the prompts. Somehow, this feels familiar. Doing things strictly by the prompts normally doesn’t work out completely right for me<\/u>.<\/p>\n
If you’re not okay with me trying to find the best way to do something, don’t ask for my help….<\/p>\n
But that’s about all I have for today. I’m spent. More tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
