ok, not really things to hate, but facts you didn’t really want to know anyway. Thanks to Jake’s experiment on a blog chain letter, I am now going to tell you eight things you didn’t know about me (probably for a good reason) and then force others to do the same. I’m not sure I know another eight bloggers that would be willing to participate, so I expect this is going to work exactly as those panty chain letters I often got in college, where someone I don’t know got a nice pair of panties and I got nuthin… but I digress and for this post that is saying a lot. So without any further stalling here are eight things you probably don’t know about me
I’m sixth generation in the bay area. My grandmother’s family came out pre-gold rush and both my grandmother and her mother were members of Native Daughters of the Golden West
I’m an expert in Bible trivia. While not a follower of any organized religion myself, I attended private school and had born-again bible thumping parents for a period of about 10 years growing up.
I have bought groceries with food stamps in my lifetime. Not a great experience, but one that does build character.
I am writing this entry from Park City, Utah where I have been skiing for a week. I recommend Utah snow for anyone who is a “terminal intermediate” skier. I like to refer to the experience as “ego skiing”.
I have a job for which I am unqualified, at least in the technical sense. I’m probably not alone in that statement but somehow I manage development teams while my formal training is in Business (Economics and Entrepreneurship), I had exactly one semester of anything even close to a computer class.
I have never been to South America.
I attended 10 different schools before completing K-12. This is even more scary when you consider I skipped a grade and 7 of the 10 were in the same town.
I have a severe “sense of direction” disability which I overcome by memorizing a painful amount of information and taking a lot of u-turns.
