Why are you sitting with me today?
I’m not and wish I was.
Explain the kind of role you are looking for
I’m looking for something that involves companionship, teamwork. Not necessarily at all times, but the kind of role that requires people to work together to achieve a common goal, while still allowing room for individual development
What are your desired hours?
I think 23 hrs per day is enough, everyone should have at least an hour to themselves everyday
In a previous similar role, what did you like, what did you not like?
In a previous role, I can honestly say that there was not much I did like. There was too much one sidedness to it. A lot of take and not much give. Sacrifice was expected at every decision, but that sacrifice was always expected from me. That left some bitterness towards that employer, but because of the investments I had made in that company, I still need communicate with them and I am still expected to make the same sacrifices, more now as a matter of fact
Tell me about your typical day in this role.
Well that would depend on the day and working arrangements at the time. Could you please elaborate? Because it could involve starting off with phone and email communications, or an in person meeting. The entire day would work from those starting points
What are your best attributes? (physical, non-physical)
Physical: I would have to say my hands
Non physical: the ability to empathize
What do you see are opportunities for improvement in you and how it relates to the role you are seeking?
There is always room for self improvements, from better communication skills, like listening instead of talking, to self evaluation and looking around how to do something better, and asking questions.
How much travel are you willing to do?
I like traveling. I’m pretty efficient at it. So I guess the answer would be “as much as needed”
Describe your ideal girlfriend
A little shorter than me. A preference for brunettes who don’t feel the need to spend hours getting ready to go anywhere. Soft, doe like eyes and a sweet, kind exterior demeanor with an internal wild side. An appreciation for nice things but doesn’t need them to survive. Must be able to give me honest feedback about my cooking. And not only like children, but work well with them: I come with two
Give me an example of a challenge we might face and how you would help overcome it.
Money is always the first thing that comes to mind when dealing in a relationship. The lack of communication about spending habits, the impulse desires, the lack of patience in a large decision or at least one that can affect someone else.
Open, honest communication is the answer to just about everything, be it a problem or preventing one. And at times, personal sacrifice.
I will cite this example: I wanted laser eye surgery after dealing with glasses and contacts for over 20 yrs. There was a discussion about how much it would cost and money was earmarked each month and put away. One day, Ex asked if she could go to the beach with our little girl for a week and just have some mommy/daughter time over the 4th of July. She had time off that needed to be used and I had to work plus was dealing with my dad estate stuff. I would go down for the weekend. I thought it was a good idea.
She spent my eye surgery money to finance it. Knew what it was for, knew that it was something that I really wanted, but the week at the beach was more important. I didn’t know that was what happened until I asked to schedule the consult and was told the money was gone. It was my fault apparently because I said it was ok. I definitely would have had a different opinion had I known what the plan was. I may have even had some suggestions for alternatives.
I don’t know if that answers you question
Do you prefer to do things alone or as a team? Give example.
I like both as a matter of fact. When something is difficult, teams I think are best. You have different views and ideas towards a solution and someone to, for lack of a better term, “share the pain with”. Things always seem less difficult when it is shared with someone.
Some tasks don’t require assistance or may even require specialized skills of an individual, but I do enjoy teaching things that can be done alone.. Like washing the car. I have a blast with my daughter when we do it together. It takes a lot longer, but we have fun and she is learning and asking questions. I hope that never leaves her
If you could be an actor, what movie character would you be and why?
I really don’t know
If I were to cook you dinner for your birthday, what would you ask for, considering my cooking skills?
If you were to cook me dinner, I would ask you to surprise me. You have an idea of the types of food I like. All I would ask is that you challenge yourself when you do it. Not to be afraid of it being great or awful or mediocre. But to take on something that you haven’t done before. I would eat it no matter what and I know it would be good because in that situation, it really is the thought that counts.
I didn’t learn to cook by making everything great; there have been some pretty bad things to come from my kitchen
What book has impacted you the most?
White Fang…. Jack London
Why do you like your favorite movie genre?
I like mindless comedies the most because they are mindless. You see other people in ridiculous situations that you are so happy to not be in and it lets your mind escape for an couple hours
What has made you laugh so hard you peed your pants (or almost peed)?
When I put pulled bbq chicken on the toilet seat at work and the owner walked in the bathroom and came right back out completely pale and unable to speak
What is your most embarrassing moment?
To many to really pinpoint one
Do you want this job? Why? Why might you not want this job?
Of course I want this job. I could not imagine a more fulfilling opportunity. A chance to share a life with a person whom you can literally feel even over long distances. Being able to look at someone and know what they are thinking has quite a few positives. The common interests are plenty with enough differences to keep things interesting and the conversation moving. I keep imagining even the mundane task of cooking dinner together as being a lot of fun.
I cannot think of a time in two decades that I didn’t want it
Do you prefer to be on top or on bottom and why?
Really does depend, Top for power and physical prowess, bottom for submission and to “take a break”... but you know that we have never had any issues with either
