Tag, I'm It.

okay... so, snarky, cynical me doesn't really want to participate in playing tag... but the HR Bartender, Sharlyn Lauby doesn't strike me as an idiot, or crazy. in fact, i think my first exposure to her was when i had posted something over at Fistful of Talent about HR not being sexy and SHRM being an evil contributor to our decline... her response? basically, she said to stop complaining and do something about it. she was more diplomatic in how she said it though, of course. i found that alone to be quite classy. i also like her blog and think it's one to watch. so... because she's not a wench, i'll play along nicely.

1. link your original tagger(s), and list these rules on your blog.
2. share seven facts about yourself in the post - some random, some weird.
3. tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.
4. let them know they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their blogs and/or twitter.

here are my seven facts:

1. my first job was at mcdonald's. i progressed from cashier, to drive thru, to birthday party queen in a matter of... five weeks. in the latter gig, i hosted kiddy b-day parties in the playland of our location. now that, was fun. kind of.

2. from where i'm sitting, i can see about 50 pairs of shoes scattered about my living room. they are all mine, and there are more, but these are just the ones visible to me from my perch.
3. i fall into crushes with fellers here and there, but at the moment, i'm in the midst of one major crush that feels different. and i'm excited. ask me next month how it's going.
4. as high maintenance as people believe me to be, i actually like camping. it's nice to get out of the city once in a while.
5. i only signed up for facebook in march or april of this year... i'm still a newbie! and yep, i'm actually gen Y, a digital native. i just held out... look at me now though.
6. when walking in a group or in a pair, i have to walk on the right hand side. i feel uncomfortable on the left. and i'm serious about this.
7. not everyone believes me... but i'm registered as a republican.

so there you have it. here are my seven i'm tagging, although if you choose not to continue it, i'll forgive you. but come on! i did it! snarky me? you can do it too.

1. suann song - simplesong

2. william uranga - talent alchemy

3. jennifer mcclure - cincy recruiter

4. mark stelzner - inflexion advisors

5. james walker - pr prescriptions

6. amybeth hale- research goddess

Back in 1986, while still living in Germany, my first teen-job was as a grocery bagger. I actually thought I was a pretty good one too. At the Military Post, they only used paper bags, not plastic. Sounds weird, but I saw the paper bag as more than simply a container for food. Admittedly, I showed a bit of quirkiness since I was known for meticulously placing items in the bag so they looked good. Was it obsessive-compulsive or "artistic" - who knows? :-)

Loved your 7-facts, next time we connect you'll have to share more!

michael - for some reason, i can see you doing that while bagging groceries... but hey, you know how modern art is nowadays! i can actually totally see an exhibit about the art of bagging groceries. look out tate modern!
