Interview the person below you

Sigh.....I wish I had synaesthesia!

It certainly made studying easier.


Would you want to go in a space shuttle if you were invited?

I used to want to go to the Moon with the Apollo astronauts.

Same question.

No, because of the sensory demands. I wouldn't like all the hard surfaces and strange practices on a shuttle. I'd need my pillows and my duvet (plus my animals)

If someone you didn't know very well really hurt your feelings would you tell them, or brush it off?

I wouldn't brush it off.

I would acknowledge, in m mind, that--perhaps--the person had no intention of hurting my feelings.

I would seek a discussion about what hurt my feelings, and would inform the person why my feelings were hurt---without assuming that that was the intention.

Sam question.

If I didn't know the person well I would likely go mute, go home, ruminate, blame myself, feel guilty, feel angry, feel sad, plan what I should have done, overgeneralize about the issue and start googling about what I should have done differently.

If I knew them medium-well: same

If I knew them very well: same, until I have a meltdown and fail to express the issue properly.

What was the last photograph you took?

I took a photograph of myself today on the train. It didn't come out well. I deleted it.

Same question.

I took a photo of a medication prescription which I was given by my (annoying) (useless) (demeaning) doctor on Tuesday.
On top of her other shining examples of incompetence, I noticed that she wrote my prescription order, thus:

Take one per day for two months.

# of repeats on the prescription: 60


Sixty. Really? Sixty repeats would mean that I am prescribed ten years worth of medicine from a doctor I won't see again.
2 months x 60 repeats = 120 months = ten years.

She clearly meant to say that there were 60 capsules in one order, not 60 repeats.

Ummm.... That's gross professional misconduct, isn't it?

I'm not sure where to send the photo. Perhaps to the head of her department? I think I will let the pharmacy have a chuckle at her expense.

Prior to that photo I took pictures of the enchanted forest!

Do you like having your picture taken by other people?

I’m pretty neutral about it.

I bet you’re photogenic. I’m not, really.

Scottish Moors, or Pennines?

Do you really need to ask?

My soul is in the Pennines.

Arizona or Colorado?

Colorado.

Swimming in rivers, or lakes?

Lakes, but I did skinny-dip in the Colorado River

Do you misplace things frequently?

Somewhat frequently.

Do you find that more AC is needed in the UK?

Yes, it's rare in many areas.

Do you find that more democracy is needed in the US?

It would be nice. We’re relatively democratic—but very imperfect.

Do you find that the NHS needs to be gutted and rebuilt?

Yes, with my physician as the poster-woman.

Do you find that the Trump administration needs to be gutted and rebuilt?
