1.What bill do you hate the most? I don't expend the energy to hate much of anything or anyone, but I worked with this Bill S. who was a supervisor, a misogynist pig, a total company man, and a 'damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead' ass regardless of who got hurt. One contractor said that every maintenance guy should be issued a pair of handcuffs so if Bill came around they could handcuff him to the nearest pipe so no one got hurt.
2.Where was the last place you had a romantic dinner? Uh... huh?
3.What do you really want to be doing right now? This, I guess. If it was something else, I'd be doing it, right?
4.How many colleges did you attend? One.
5.Why did you choose the shirt that you have on right now? I like it.
6.What are your thoughts on petrol prices right now? Could be better, could be worse.
7.First thought when the alarm goes off in the morning? NO.
8.Last thought before going to sleep last night? No idea. My thoughts tend to bleed into dreams.

Hee! Yes, ergh, handcuffs indeed.
3.What do you really want to be doing right now? This, I guess. If it was something else, I'd be doing it, right?I gave this one a lot of thought after posting. These questions are such a weird combination of silly and profound, aren't they? Okay, yes, we're all doing what we want to be doing right now because we're posting, which is the very definition of a pointless and thoroughly enjoyable hobby. But am I doing what I want to be this afternoon, say? Writing on conference paper? Painful, but I like my job, and I like going to conferences, and at a certain point I'm fine

I'm sure my idea of necessary life skills is far different than what others think. I think driving a standard is a necessary skill. I know fewer and fewer cars seem to have them, but - here in the country, at least - you never know when you may be called upon to drive a vehicle in an emergency, and that vehicle may be a tractor or a skidder, or who knows what. Besides, there is a certain cachet, in my opinion, to being able to drive whatever

Ha! I like that story about Jen. And I agree that they should teach stick as well as automatic, at least until self-driving electric cars take over. :) It's like swimming--just in case.
CPR should also be required in school. Along with basic financial literacy; skills to fix or as least check on cars, sinks and toilets, and computers; a short history of racism, sexism, and class oppression in the US; and how to make small talk in the elevator. (Seriously. The millennials seem not to know how to do it, and we can't assume people just pick things up.)
There's a very sweet college-age student at one of my local coffee shops who can't seem to make change, and it's so distressing. Is he having difficulty with numbers? (Why? How?) Does he not use cash? He doesn't seem to have trouble doing anything else except that.
