The interview

This is how it goes:

1 — Leave a comment, saying you want to be interviewed.
2 — I will respond; I’ll ask you five questions.
3 — You’ll update your journal with my five questions, and your five answers.
4 — You’ll include this explanation.
5 — You’ll ask other people five questions when they want to be interviewed.

I’ve been interviewed by the fantastic SilverStar46. Her questions were:
 
1) What is the best thing in your life? Without a doubt I would have to say my family, meaning my overly patient and understanding wife, Cindi, and loving daughter, Ella.
 
2) If you could change anything in your life, what would it be and why? It would have been not to be as complacent as I had been at my old job with the hospital. I stayed there from 97 till the office closed and I was laid off at the end of 06. Of course that was the start of the economy tanking and making finding a job harder. Plus my overall skills had become diminished and way too specialized. Now don’t get me wrong I really like my current job but it pays no where near what I use to make and I would love more consistent hours. So I would have more active in looking for different work in say 2001 or so.
 
3) Who makes you smile every time you’re with them? Well the easy answer here is Ella, it seems even when she’s being bad and not listening she does something to make me smile. Which makes it hard to punish her sometimes.
 
4) Is there a God and how do you know?  Yes and the short version of how is that I just do know. A little longer version is that I have tried to live without God in my life and living with him as a part of my daily and life and with God there I feel much better and fulfilled. 
 
5) Favorite Christmas memory? For me one would be the first year we were in this house, 2002, it was just Cindi and I and Christmas morning as we are opening our gifts it started to snow and just look so perfect. Yes the clichéd White Christmas.
One other thing that sticks in my mind is growing up we would always go to the midnight mass, I grew up in the Catholic Church, and at the end of the service they would always play Joy to the World. The church itself had this massive pipe organ and just hearing the opening notes booming out of the organ still sticks in my mind.
 
That’s all for now, got to get some stuff done before heading off to work. Next 2 nights I’m on till midnight and not looking forward to that.
