Monday Mission

It's Monday, so once again it's time for PromoGuy's Monday Mission 3.34:

1. When was the last time you helped out a friend in need? What was going on that made you want to help?

Right now I'm helping a friend out but I can't discuss it because it's in litigation.

2. Are you a "pet" person? Do you like to keep pets or would you rather not bother with them? Why?

I absolutely love dogs. Unfortunately, my wife is allergic to them.

3. In a dating or married relationship, is it possible to change someone to be more like you want them to be? Have you tried to or had someone try to change you? How did it turn out?

I don't believe you can change another person. I do believe that two people can compliment each other, however. That didn't stop my ex from trying to make me into something I wasn't.

4. In your opinion, why is it that some married people have affairs? Is it ever justified?

I've only known a few married people who've had affairs. In the case of the man, it was for sex. In the case of the woman, it was for the gifts that her boss gave her. What amazes me is, not that they were married to each other (which they were), but that they judged me so harshly when I broke up with my ex. I guess they didn't know that I knew about their little secrets. IMHO affairs are never justified.

5. Do you tend to make the same mistakes over and over? Got any examples?

I never make the same mistake twice. I always manage to make new and different ones.

6. What do you find distracts you the most when you are trying to concentrate?

These naked supermodels that keep running in and out of my office all day long.

7. What do you know "now," that you wish you knew "then?"

Don't put your dreams in lockboxes, and don't invest years of your life in a day job for the wad you expect to have at the end. Believe in that myth at your own peril. (from Po Bronson's, "What Should I Do With My Life?")

BONUS: What's the matter with your life?

If I knew the answer to that, then there wouldn't be anything wrong! Anyway, I'm still paying my therapist $135 a week to figure that out. I'll let you know when I have a breakthrough.

Today's comment question: What drives you wild?

Didn't I tell you about the naked supermodels?
