What the hell kind of geek are they looking for?

From time to time I get calls to participate in surveys. They hold out the carrot, telling me it’ll just be a couple of hours and they’ll pay some amount of money that is non-zero. But then they ask questions to see what sort of “bin” I fall into. How much to I make, what kind of job do I have, etc. Whatever it is, I tell them the truth and I never seem to make it past those questions. Today they were asking questions about animation, and they didn’t like that I was 40-years-old and living with my parents. WHO ELSE WATCHES ANIMATION? Hell, the only other thing that would match those conditions better would be something regarding Star Trek.

OK, so I FILLED UP MY iPod mini! I just got the latest Daft Punk (which is just as repetitive as you’d imagine) and I couldn’t fit the whole album onto my iPod without deleting other stuff. I only have music on here that I can listen to on “shuffle.” I can’t pick things to delete off of here. I’m sure other people would hate what I have, but I find it odd that I have four gigs of songs I want to hear.

Oh, and this is all going up early because I’ve got the punes. I’ve been watching too many medical programs, like “House” and I’m thinking I have some sort of weird organ failure. Good thing I’ve found that everyone around me has the same symptoms.

  1. Even Carolyn has the punes, and Tom is sick today and not working! I think the only other people who watch animation are angst-ridden 15-year-olds still living with their parents. Oh, but wait, they watch ANIME, not animation.
