Okay, so I’ve been tagged, and for once, I think I’ll actually play along. :-P
Instructions: Remove the blog in the top spot from the following list and bump everyone up one place. Then add your blog to the bottom slot.
Select 5 people to tag (suckers!): No really, I know these things are akin to chain letters and they take some time, but there’s nothing like direct questions to learn more about folks.
Okay, I only have 5 Bloglines subscribers, not counting me, and at least half of them have already done this. (And I can’t see who my LJ or NewsGator subscribers are, so…). So do it if you want to, and comment here, just so I can “meet” my readers, so to speak. :-)
What were you doing 10 years ago?
January 1996? Hmm. I’d started my last semester at the worst primary school ever, and was doing the bare minimum required to pass and go on to high school. (Me, an underachiever? No…)
What were you doing 1 year ago?
In January 2005, I was just a couple of weeks out of school (I’d graduated from UCSD in December 2004), and also out of a job, as you had to be a registered student to hold my previous position. So I was job hunting, submitting resumes anywhere appropriate, and not having a whole lot of luck. I was also trying to face the fact that no, I was not as ready to go on to grad school as I thought I was.
What were you doing one hour ago?
Working, thinking of where I should go for lunch.
