... of the compact disc. If that makes you feel old, rest assured, you are not alone. On that note, let's play the friday5.org Friday Five!
1. What were your after-school hours usually like when you were in high school?
Either I'd stay after to use the computers at the school, or I'd head to my father's office to do some menial tasks for minimum wage for him. Every once in a while I'd head straight back home, but I can't really recall doing much of anything once I got home, other than trying to sort out whatever new angers that school brought out of me.
2. What are the first moments like when you finally get home after a long day?
Usually I shower, then turn my computer on and check my e-mail. After that there's no real set plan.
3. Where do your thoughts normally turn after the December/January holidays have passed?
I guess by that time I'm usually sick to death of both having to drive on icy Toledo roads and having to deal with other drivers who think the strong possibility of spinning out and dying in a fiery crash is worth the possibility that speeding up on slick roads might shave an extra minute off of their commute home. Therefore, my thoughts turn to the summer, where the drivers are still as crazy but at least the roads are dry.
4. When did you last allow someone to cut in front of you in line?
I honestly can't remember, but then again I don't tend to get stuck in queues that often. Thankfully Toledoans don't much care for self-checkout lanes in stores, so I'm able to speed through them in a hurry.
5. What are you going to do right after you finish answering these questions?
Probably do a bit of reading in preparation for the upcoming semester, then hit the garage for some arrow-stomping.
