No one cared enough to tag me (not even the WIFE!)…so I’ll tag myself.
10 Years Ago:
* I was a year back from Army training and working as an Assistant Network Administrator at Naman, Howell, Smith, & Lee, P.C. (or back then it was). Ten years ago is the year I started going back to church and ten years ago is when I truly came to know Jesus as my savior and Lord. Ten years ago…TO THE DAY…I started teaching myself guitar.
Things on my to-do list today:
* Drive a long long way and pick up a baptistry and bring it back. — Check
* Do nothing else — Check
Seems I accomplished all my goals for the day!
What would I do if I suddenly became a Billionaire?
* Fully fund lots and lots of mission@ries.
* Pay off student loans.
* Buy Wife a new car (well…mini van actually)
* Have Wife quit working to fill up the mini-van with kids!
* Keep working….probably.
Three of my bad habits: (how can I really be expected to narrow this list down to just three???)
* Fingernail biting.
* That “neck” thing…just ask LA.P.
* Leaving kitchen cabinet doors open
Five jobs I have had: (hmmm…what would you not guess or know?)
* Nursing Home Aide
* Grocery Store Sacker/Stocker/etc.
* Restaurant (family owned) worker…all positions
* Furniture Store
* Temp job - bill letter opener for Syzygy, who processed Kimberly-Klark bills. Man was that an exciting job. I got to open bills and place them in one of three boxes. All day long. Open letter…put in box….open letter…..put in box….open letter….put in box…..stab self in eye.
*** Bonus - West Teleservices Manager. That’s right. I worked for a company that did telemarketing for AT&T in 1997. And I was goooooood. I was so good at calling you during dinner to ask you if you wanted to switch phone companies that I quickly became a manager and trained and led one of the top teams in the company. I had a small army calling you at the most inopportune time and switching you from MCI, Sprint, or any other company to AT&T long distance. Mwahahaa
mwahahaa
mwahahaa.
Five things people don’t know about me:
* That I had a small telemarketing army (see above)
* That I have never…..never………..neeeevvvveeerrrrr……….eaten a Giraffe.
* I had 7 cats at one time when I was a kid.
* Six of them were Manx.
* I got Cat Scratch Fever that year.
*** BONUS - I moved 3 times in 5th grade to three different cities. I was in one school for 3 days.

Cliff, you crack me up. I really liked the “stab self in eye” part.

I’ve always wondered: How on earth do you pronounce Syzygy? Did the owners intentionally create a word that didn’t have vowels? Were they trying to be so creative and cutting edge that they made up a ridiculous word that scares off potential customers? This is a quandry.
