I'm nor sure what I have saved in my folders in my inbox, I keep letters from friends, letters from my editor, etc., filed away in folders there. Other than that, I empty it every day-- emails from friends are saved, other import e-mails are also saved, the spam filter dumps a lot of stuff which I sort through, and see if something was accidentially dumped. Can't help it, I'm a neat freak! :)
Same question.
Well, I have so many calls upon my life each day and try to keep our home extremely clean and well organized and my personal space and all that jazz. As for my email inboxes and my pm box just anyone on this forum almost knows that I am ALWAYS getting that dread email from litnet to clean out my box. I am forever downloading the text and cleaning it out and I got a letter from the admin to fastmail begging me to do it regularly as well, so no I only do it if not forced to about once a month.
Would you ever go to dinner with someone you never met on the say so of a good and trusted friend?
A blind date? Or just dinner with someone? If I were single, I would go on a blind date if I trusted the opinion of the person bringing us together. Dinner alone with someone I don't know just for the sake of meeting a particular person I probably would not. I would have that someone bringing us together come along.
Same Q
Blind Date, sure why not, but just dinner, don't really see the point, so I asume you mean a blind date.
Same Q.
I am painfully single, so I would. If a friend of mine ever felt ambitious enough to try to hook me up with someone I would have to go just to see what sort of person she was.
Same Q (I've got to start thinking of questions before I answer them, I never come up with my own)
Why not! I see it fascinating to come across new people and talk with them. In both cases I would.
Same Q
I would, but the thing that springs to my mind is "safety." I would automatically start thinking of horrible scenarios in which it starts raining and he offers a ride home, then carts me off to some basement of horrors, or other less outlandish yet equally unpleasant variations. I prefer lunch—less expensive, more daylight.
Would you wear a raincoat and goloshes to work for one full day for $30?
Damn straight.Goloshes are sweet.
Same Q
Considering I went dressed as a Clown for free, why not? Hee-Hee! ;) Couldn't be a clown now, the makeup would clash with the beard.
What was your most embarassing moment at work?
:lol: A little paranoid, emily? I hope you haven't had any horrid dates like that. I guess for a woman (and me not) it must have to cross your mind.Quote:

Luckily he's not the sort of boy I need have worried about, but gosh does that seem stupid now.
To answer Pen's question: The most embarrassing moment at work. (My co-worker is still laughing about this one.) I was feeling dizzy one day, recovering from an illness, and put a pillow (read: merchandise) on the floor behind the counter to lean on while I sat down for a minute. My co-worker was talking to me, so she didn't see until the last moment that MY BOSS was just about to walk in the door. I panicked, and started running to put the pillow back, but it was too late—my boss walked in the door and I stumbled in mid-stride, holding the pillow, and staring at her like a deer at an on-coming car. The woman I work with thought fast, saying, "Oh! Are you okay? That was some trip!" I had to walk over and put the pillow back, and return and talk to my boss, who is—thankfully—pretty flakey, and didn't say a thing about it. After she left, the other woman laughed for about two hours straight. "You should have seen the look on your face!" she said.
Same question. :)
hey Ry, you are not a Newfie are you? :lol: goloshes are SWEET? :lol: :lol: :lol:Quote:

same question please
Heck, I asked the question, so I'll tell on myself. I went to work in a factory right out of highschool, since Martha and I were planning on an early marriage. I worked there and became a minister as well, so I pulled double duty for 16 years. I had taken a better paying job on a different machine, and was lost in my work and singing my head off as usual. That's why I never saw the Plant Manager making his morning rounds that day. It was also why I never noticed that he had the CEO of the Company with him. So the Plant Manager steps into my work area to introduce me to the CEO, and just then I hit the Hydraulic Switch to drop the next load of doors. That whole shelf shot out, as it was supposed to. I was off couse, standing clear. The Plant Manager took it in the hip and went sprawling, almost into the glue containers and the open 55 gallon drum of transmission fluid we used to clean the machine with. I don't hear or see him. Down come the doors, the shelf is back up, I release the clamps, turn around, and freeze. The CEO sticks out his hand, tells me who he is and asks my name. I mange to get it out, but I'm looking at the Plant Manager whose suit is now dirty, and is rubbing his hip and looking daggers at me. I later found out that the CEO told the Plant Manager that he was glad to see someone enjoying their job, obeying saftey rules that were clearly posted on the wall, and that the whole thing was his own fault. But you could have lit a match on my red face when I turned around that day! :blush:
Same Question
haha, that's good pen!
One of my embarrassing moments: I worked for a small company, everybody knew everybody. The woman that ran inventory control was a real doosie, always ready to blame other people for problems and always ready to point out other peoples mistakes. My lab was on the second floor, the front stair case lead directly into the front office. Well one day I was all excited about something and I have a tendency of running down stairs. This day I come charging down the stairs, I missed the last step, tripped and landed flat on my face all sprawled out in the front office. I look up and the inventory control lady and her right hand man were standing there looking at me like I had lost my mind. I got up, said hello, and walked into my bosses office.

Oh, Pen and Papaya, those are both great. :lol:
(I just noticed that this is the "Would You???" thread, not "ATPBY," just for whoever asks the next question. :))
