The 98th edition is posted a little later than I would have liked, but I attended a special event that I'll write about over at my primary blog later tonight.
And you'll be happy to know that I gave these questions an extra look to make sure I didn't repeat any of last week's! (And thanks to Wil for being the first to email me about the repeat question. You can't put anything over on Wil!
Dac of "Planetary Verbosity" was first to play last week main edition. Also, last Monday, I posted a "replacement question" for the repeated one, and Barb of "A Ticket to Ride" was first to answer that question in a comment. Congratulations, Donna & Barb!
Here are this week's "Saturday Six" questions. Either answer the questions in a comment here, or put the answers in an entry on your journal...but either way, leave a link to your journal so that everyone else can visit! To be counted as "first to play," you must be the first player to either answer the questions in a comment or to provide a complete link to the specific entry in your journal in which you answer the questions. A link to your journal in general cannot count. Enjoy!
1. What is the most difficult aspect of your current job?
2. What is the easiest aspect of your job?
3. How many keys are there on your keyring right now? Are you able to recall exactly what every key on your keyring actually unlocks?
4. Take this quiz (if you haven't already!): What kind of an elitist are you?
5. What is your least favorite ethnic food, and what makes it your least favorite?
6. If you were a different person, but were to meet someone identical to who you are and how you behave right now, would you likely be friends with that person? Why or why not?
If you have a Reader's Choice question you'd like to see asked (and answered), click the e-mail link on the About Me bar and send it to me.
MY ANSWERS:
1. I tend to want to please everyone with what I do: a reporter may like a story "sold" one way, while a producer might think that a different angle is better. My boss then may say that the script doesn't give enough of a reason to watch, then our consultants will review spots after the fact and suggest "better" ways to have done it. (It's especially annoying when one of the consultant's suggestions happens to be identical to a "rejected" draft.)
2. Getting the information I need to promote the stories is generally easy, though there are a few who make it more difficult than it needs to be.
3. There are 24 keys on my keyring, and there are at least six that I can't immediately identify.
4.
You speak eloquently and have seemingly read every book ever published. You are a fountain of endless (sometimes useless) knowledge, and never fail to impress at a party. What people love: You can answer almost any question people ask, and have thus been nicknamed Jeeves.
What people hate: You constantly correct their grammar and insult their paperbacks.
5. I've only tried Indian cuisine once, and I just didn't enjoy the dish I had. There were too many strange spices and flavors that just seemed to clash, almost as if the individual ingredients were competing with each other for notice on the taste buds. I've been told about a very good Indian restaurant in town, and I'm considering giving it a try.
6. I'd like to think so, but honestly, I don't think I would. I think one must be happier with one's self than I tend to be to really allow many people to get as close as a good friendship really requires.
