"Have you ever?" Meme for adults
via icarusancalion
icarusancalionNicked office supplies?
Duh. I tend to need my office in a portable format, so I've always got extra supplies within reach.
Allowed one of your colleagues to take the blame for a mistake that you made?
I can't think of a time that I have. I do remember leaving an impending mess on someone's hands when I went on vacation once. He took care of the unpleasantness while I was gone,a nd things were hunky-dorey when I got back. He never complained about it either. I still feel vaguely guilty about that, but I've never done it again. Now I nip those messes in the bud.
Taken the blame for a mistake that one of your colleagues made?
Nope. But if I can clean up the mess, I'll do it.
Nicked somebody's lunch from the canteen fridge because you had forgot to bring your own?
Ew. No. But I used to bring home empty 'tupperware' containers that had been abandoned. At one office, the janitor cleaned out the refrigerator on Fridays, and on Monday, there'd be this stack of clean containers. If the same container stayed for more than 2 weeks, and it looked serviceable, I'd bring it home.
Pissed about on the Internet when you should have been working?
Depends on what you mean by "should have been working." I spent almost a year 'pissing about' because I had no real work to do. I was miserable and guilty for not working, but what are you supposed to do when your boss says, "trust me, I'm going to give you more work than you can handle soon." ? Other than start sending out resumes, that is.
Phoned in ill because of a hangover?
No. I have gone in, made sure that everything that needed doing that day got done or delegated and gone home, but not going in at all is reserved for not actually being capable of getting out of bed (back spasms or flu). Or, you know, sex.
Slept with somebody in your department or (gasp) even your boss?
Lots of flirting. A (very) little kissing. Have only ever slept with one person that I'd call a colleague, and that was a looong time ago. We didn't work for the same company, but we were on the same project. I was the boss in that case.
Sent flowers anonymously to a colleague whom you fancy?
Why be anonymous?
Had a tryst with somebody you met on holiday?
Hmmm. Define 'tryst.' I think the closest I've come to this was when I was 17. Does that count?
Faked a seizure?
What?
Eaten a frog or a snail?
Escargot, under duress. Tasted like rubber bands sauteed in garlic butter. Forgettable.
Fought in a war?
Not in the purest definition of the word. But I was born fighting on the side of feminism.
Nicked a neighbour's newspaper?
I don't think so. I have put my excess trash at the neighbor's curb on trash day, while said neighbor was on holiday, and not in need of trash service.
Patched your own roof?
No, but I could if I had to.
Cursed at a bank employee?
No. I have walked out on one. I tend to ask for their supervisor if I'm having a problem. Thank you, DH.
Cheated at cards?
How else does one win at Solitaire? (cheated by stealing this answer too)
Climbed a mountain?
Of course. Grew up in the shadow of the Sierra Nevadas.
Worn something unfortunate to a party?
Define 'unfortunate.'
Won a sword fight?
Have never even lifted a blade. Other than in the kitchen that is.
Driven a car into a body of water?
Are you kidding me? I've barely even wrecked!

How many members of the same sex have you been naked with at one time?
1
Do you vote?
Absolutely. But I've started missing the local/city stuff in the past couple of years.
Do you volunteer?
Yes. "Hammer with a Heart," a cool program that fixes up homes all in one day in May; "Block Kids" a program based on Legos and sponsored by the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) to get kids interested in construction: and various committee memberships for organizations or clubs I belong to, including the Midwest Alternative Polyamory Conference.
What is the riskiest thing you've ever done?
Sheesh. Married a guy I'd known all of 18 weeks probably tops the list. Said guy thinks I do lots of risky things on a regular basis. I don't agree. But, I could be proven wrong on any given day.
Have you ever declared bankruptcy?
Been there, done that.
Duh. I tend to need my office in a portable format, so I've always got extra supplies within reach.
