Saturday 9

1. Where will you be and doing this Tuesday afternoon?

I will be picking our daughter up from school, but beyond that, I cannot be sure. We work on call, so are never sure where we will be or when.

2. Do you belong to any group(s)?

Online, yes. I belong to two closed groups for Christian women. In "real life", no.

3. Do you feel energized or drained by being in a group situation? (If the answer is "it depends," on what does it depend?)

I feel completely awkward and would rather not be in a group situation, at least not in person.

4. Is there a role you naturally put yourself while adapting when in group situations?

Yes. I play the role of "The Invisible Woman". You know: don't call me out, don't point me out, just pretend I'm not there.

5. In business or formal situations, do you mind hugs or are you offended if it goes past a handshake?

In business situations, I prefer no physical contact at all, including handshaking. In a formal situation, it really depends on the occasion. If it is, for example, my sister's wedding, I will assume it is family-full, so I don't mind hugs at all. I love my family.

6. Do you find what we'd call “ice breakers” a playful way to build community in a lighthearted manner, or a complete and utter hell of forced fun and awkwardness?

I think that ice breakers can be fun. It really depends on the kind of ice breaker. There are just certain things that should not be done in mixed company, and still others that shouldn't be done/said at all.

7. What word do you use far too frequently?

"So". I've been trying to pay attention lately to discover my reset word and have found that I say "so" at the beginning of a lot of statements.

8. What word do you use not frequently enough?

Cha-ching? Really, I have no clue what word that I don't use enough. According to some folks, I use all of them way too much. haha

9. What word do you use when swearing is not appropriate?

"Blankin'" as in fill in the blank. Your choice. I feel like saying one, but I know I shouldn't, so you choose the one that suits you.
