1. What hobbies would you pursue if money was of no concern?
Travel. Lots of it.
2. What’s something you do more quickly than most people?
Type with 7 fingers. I never took typing lessons, but I type quite a bit for work, and am on the computer more than the average person. I only use about 7 fingers to type (thumb and first two fingers on both hands, right pinkie), and I'm pretty fast.
3. Window seat or aisle seat?
Window
4. What's the stupidest lie that someone really thought you'd believe?
When we were getting our heat pump/exterior AC unit replaced, we had a friend of a friend that was going to do it for cost of the units plus a few hundred dollars.
For saving us a few thousand dollars, I was very lax about the time it was taking him to get it done, because he's an older guy that did this as a side job.
When I say it took him over a year to get it done, I am not exaggerating. I hadn't paid him for anything aside from the parts, which I had at the house, so it wasn't like I was getting ripped off, per se. He was just not getting it done.
The lies came in the form of excuses as to why he would be unable to make it that weekend to put the unit in.
Over the weeks, his lies included that he was in the hospital, his wife was in the hospital, his son was at the Cleveland Clinic for cancer treatment and he was driving there from Virginia every weekend and the final weekend (before I completely lost my temper with him when our old unit finally broke down), he was in Afghanistan on a military base repairing their refrigeration units.
In the end, he did install it, but ****ed it up considerably. I got a friend of our neighbors who does HVAC to come fix it properly for a few hundred more dollars, that I was happy to pay to have it finally finished.
5. Plans for the weekend?
Work and nothing else planned so far.
