Hello and happy timezones, kind friends! I have greatly enjoyed your responses to my Get to Know You posts.

So, it’s time. Come sit on my porch for a spell. Tea, lemonade and refreshments will be served shortly.

Here are 3 questions! Let’s go!

Round #91:

1. If you were a background character in a movie, what would your job be?

2. In a low‑stakes apocalypse, what completely useless skill suddenly makes you the leader?

3. What oddly specific thing freaks you out for no logical reason?

Here are my answers:

  1. I’d be the person quietly maintaining the town bulletin board in the background.
  2. I can assign everyone a job with absolute confidence, even when I have no idea what I’m doing. Suddenly I’m the leader because I sound organized while everyone else is melting down.
  3. Overly realistic mannequins in empty stores. They’re just standing there, looking like they know something I don’t, and I hate it.

And now, it’s your turn! If you don’t want to participate, no problem! I’m just glad you’re here. A hello would be fantastic, though! Of course, lurkers are always heartily welcome, too. xo

Thank you so much for reading, liking, lurking, and commenting! You are important!

Oh my gosh, mannequins for you too????? I had a children’s clothing store I could not take one of the kids into because they would freeze just inside the door. Honestly I agreed with them.

Making water appear from thin air!

I’m the one constantly handing out snacks.
I can play the harmonica, so people follow me like I’m the Pied Piper of Hamelin.
Refrigerator and stove doors that have faces are freaky. (face pareidolia)

Fun question! I like your answers, too. Sorry about the freaky mannequins. They are a favorite of mine and I take lots of pictures of them. I used to work at a store dressing them for display!
I did my post with answers. Not sure I can get my link here as I’m on my laptop and haven’t figured it out yet. 🙂
Nope, don’t know what to do to add my link without using a mouse! 🙂

I’d work in a bookstore or library and probably ignore the filming process because I’d be reading. For some reason, I’ve always had backup plans for nearly everything in my life – there’s always a plan B. It might be helpful. Occasionally coming across pig’s feet in the meat section at Kroger freaks me out. They should put those in a different section!

hi Kymber!

Id work at an industrial pastries place. like the guy operating the machine that puts holes in the doughnuts (that’s actually my dream job hehe) 🙂
my knowledge of how to operate towing ratchet straps, I suppose lol
the Mariana Trench – the deepest part of the ocean is what illogically gives me the heebie jeebies. deeper than Mount Everest is tall, I can’t imagine why anyone would want to go down into its depths.

have a great day Kymber!Mike

Hi Kymber great Qs and I love your answers. I would be an academic answering technical questions just like in real life 😂. I am also good at project management and I fix everyone else’s mistakes. AI fresks me out but I may not be alone there 💗

I may be looking at mannequins differently from now on.

I just hope they’re not looking back at me. Does that mean I’ve watched too much Scooby-Doo? lol

I like your answers. But I can’t come up with any myself.

Happy timezones!! 💜 Your answers are excellent. You and I would get along great in that low-stakes apocalypse (why is that word so hard to spell?), because I’m the “point me in a direction and tell me what to do” guy! As long as you sound like you know what you’re doing, I’ll follow your directions! LOL!!

Now, for my answers:

1) I’d be the one doing the research. Kind of like Wesley in Angel or Willow in Buffy . . . I’d be hitting the books to figure out what we need to do. Either that, or I’d be Giles, the librarian. Ooh. Yeah. That one!
2) Grammar. I’d be in charge of making sure all the communication was correctly worded (no misplaced apostrophes, please! And use that Oxford comma!!!) 🤣
3) I’m having to think really hard on this one. I’m a chronic overthinker, so it would have to be when someone doesn’t respond to a text message or email. Are they mad at me?? Did I overstep an unknown boundary?? Aaugh!! 🤣
