    sure...you're the boss!

    Does the family leave you something in the oven to warm up?

    because you actually enjoy what you do and you know that you are providing your family everything they could possibly want...and more.

    Is that at least close to the truth?

    Yeah that about sums it up... but it's unbelievably stressful...

    Do you get stress and depressed often?

    I did....I was really the 'oh whatever don't stress, we can fix it' kind of person, and the rest of the people I worked with were all like crazy chickens and started yelling and screaming at me, demanding the impossible...when all you hear all day is complaining and screaming=not good.....now that I have so much free time, I'm relaxing, taking my time to do things and when we visited friends recently, one said that I 'look really really good' and 'something is different...for the better'. I just said, 'no more stress' :D (I can see why it's hard for you to quit smoking though!)

    When was the last time you had an actual 'relaxing/decompress' vacation? (where nobody from work was bugging you?)

    Oooooooooooh about 20 years ago :lol:

    What would you do if you found out that your boss had meetings with your direct reports (I have a little problem with that) and that in that meeting one of your direct reports had very negative things to say about you (because he wants your job)? However you were not supposed to know that happened?

    Do you give your direct reports reviews/feedback sessions? If so ask if this person is satisfied with what they are doing, ask if there is anything you can do to help them reach their goals, or possibly hint to that direct report that there may be/are some qualities that need to be worked on to be able to advance in the company? That's a tough one!

    Is that too 'corporate nicey nice' or not back stabbing enough? :lol: (I quit working corporate for a reason!)

    :| no wonder they didn't like me...
    I worked for a big wireless company that has the monopoly on the iphone, and worked in the corporate accounts department. Billing, and customer service for the corporate managers. Decent health benefits, free everything for the cell phones...I got so many free cell phones, and I had 3G/GSM service before they rolled it out to the public. If I knew how to play the game, I'd prob still be there....

    Where are you off to Mr. Limo?

    no, would like to though

    and in Seattle you call a cab, you don't hail one....pretty funny when you get a new yorker all pissed off because the cabs won't stop when he's waving them in the street

    Maybe your driver has a fire to get to? :lol:
