Totally irrelevant lunchtime survey questions thanks to Quirk Classics. Answer them yourself on their blog post and you could win some cool, quirky prizes.
1) What are you listening to right now? (Music, boring meeting, The Voices, etc)
Absolutely nothing. Dead air, the sound of me typing, and the sound of my coworker at the editing suite (which consists of the occasional typed word, and mostly mouse clicks)
2) What’s the email sign-off that makes you cringe? (Cheers!, Best, xoxo…?)
“Regards” (and any variation thereof) Eeeeeuuuucccch! So formal, so blah, so… ick. No sign off also bothers me, if it’s someone I don’t know sending me a business email.
3) What is the saddest lunch you ever ate at work? (Ramen, ketchup sandwich, nothing?)
Nothing. Quite frequently. Very often I’m too busy for lunch at work… on those days if it’s not “nothing” for lunch, it’s a chocolate bar out of the vending machine, tap water, and a tic tac.
4) If you were a kind of tape, which one would you be and why? (Scotch, packing, duct?)
Double sided scotch tape… because it sticks to everything, and itself, and is really irritating to use. If I have to be boring tape, I’d want to be the most irritating variety possible.
5) Write the most interesting / ridiculous / cryptic message on one of your Post-Its.
I actually have a wall of post its tracking story ideas… most are cryptic to anyone other than me, and/or unreadable thanks to the scrawl I do when writing fast. Examples? “HST Update”, “Oxy. TF call CA”, “Dog Park *insert email address here*”… or, they’re covered with doodles from being on the phone… then proudly displayed as “art work” on my wall.

And on that note, my lunch is now finished (today I had a lunch! Granted, it was a sandwich from Tim Hortons I impulse-bought while getting coffee because I knew I wouldn’t have time to go home and make lunch today)… back to working.
