Interesting Survey Answers...

[freddok1.livejournal.com]

Nice survey answers. I remembered many of those things about you from years back, while others are news to me.

I cut and pasted this survey and filled it in myself as my first post in my own journal. Many of my answers were different, some were similar, two or three of them were pretty close.

And, yes, read about the snakepit...glad you're getting out of there, your soon-to-be-ex coworkers sound...dysfunctional...weird. And, no, didn't mind the profanity. Fits the situation well.

There's other things I'll put in an e-mail soon. Neat that you've kept close to Jim K. over the years, last saw him in January. Duhh...I could've asked him whatever happened to you.
