Once more, from studio 1A

I realized that I had one more set of interview questions still sitting around! I'm sorry that it took so long! Here they are, Questions from paladincub21


1. do you think you'll ever have a distinct type?

Well, I guess Bears and Cubs are my type. I know that's a pretty broad category. I like Muscle too, probably because my first "porn" was Joe Weider's Muscle and Fitness magazine. Available at your local supermarket, guys in speedos defining masculinity, in one way. I still remember, as it seems so many of us do, picking up that first copy of Bear that I saw (#14) and going "wow". It was so different from Advocate Men, where only a few of the guys appealed to me.

Oh, and how hairy you are is not a problem, but can be a plus. Facial hair is a big plus as well.

2. name the last sporting event that you were deeply invested in. why?

Since I haven't played a sport in years, I would have to say the Astros no-hitter the other night. I watched the replay Monday night. that game was so great! The Yankees, and my Astros first trip to Yankee Stadium, a history making event (6 pitchers combining for the no hitter and the Yanks not being no-hit for some 40+ years) and to see such good pitching and the long home run ball from Lance Berkman. A very good game. I love baseball, and this was just the kind of game I enjoy.

I haven't been to a game this year, which is unusual, but that changes this weekend. *grin*

3. What does boyfriend mean to you? Just someone you are into and vice versa? Romance? Co-habitation? If you did meet this mysterious vague man, what is that you would actually do with him?

Well, funny that you ask that. Since my last relationship was with a girl named Leighza back in high school, I really don't know what to expect right now. Romance is a factor, compatibility is in some respects, but I wouldn't want someone who mirrors me, that would be too boring. I would suspect that I wouldn't initially live with him, even if we lived in the same city. I would think I would need to give the relationship some time before I would want to fully give myself to living with someone, night and day.

What would I do to him? Sounds so dirty! I'm sure there would be going to events, spending quiet nights at home, lunches, dinners etc. Meeting other friends, but sometimes staying home for a whole weekend. Oh, yeah, probably some crazy monkey lovin'. Right?

I'd certainly be wary of going to fast, of course.

4. How did you get into the job that you are now?

Back in the great year of 1999, I had a day off from the drudgery that is Target, and I answered an ad from my company that said they were having an open house. I really didn't suspect I'd get the job, but when I got there they interviewed me and tested my poor typing skills. Luckily, I wore a suit, I really considered not doing so, and didn't expect more than a cursory interview.

Three people interviewed me. A few days later I got a call from HR stating that they were willing to take me on, but not in a management position, still, they offered a couple of thousand dollars over my gigantic Target salary, plus overtime. Strangely enough, I had to think about it, since I thought I was being considered for a higher management position with Target.

I found out later that the Target position was a ruse by the store manager to keep me there, and they had no intentions of promoting me, so I promptly gave my two weeks notice and left the company.

Now, four years later, I moved from a rep, to a trainer, and now management, for the time being. They company gave me the training to do my job. Experience wasn't really necessary.

5. how do you plan to get out of it?

Well, I interview for the new positions soon, so we'll see how that goes. I don't really want to do a long, drawn-out search on my own, and I am still working, so I'm thinking of hiring a recruiter who can look for me. Besides, I don't have to stay in Houston, so I can have them look in other cities (like Dallas) to see what might be available.

Someone hire me!
