I Don't Meme to Annoy You

Poll results are in! Fully 79% of the 55 voters are ok with me interviewing men here! In fact, 10 of you have volunteered to be interviewees and 4 have interview subjects to recommend!! (You must IM me so we can set these up!) 21% demand shirtless interviews. (I guess that means that I should include pictures, huh? :-P) For the 9 of you who are concerned with my making Jerremy upset, I promise to make him one of my first interviews and to keep things platonic with the others. And for everyone who voted for me not to interview anyone at all (21%), I promise to keep them fun and not rely on them too much.

Now onward to the meme. I got tagged by Willow Caldera for a new meme on reading material. Here is the thing though: I got tagged in my home office. I have no pleasure reading in here. All the books with dog-eared corners marking naughty passages are on the other side of the wall. What do I have in here? Computer manuals, grad school text books, trade magazines and reference books.

So, let's just tell you what, Willow, I put down my copy of How to Beat Anyone in Chocolate Wrrestling and grabbed the next closet book, Ready for Anything by self-styled 'personal productivity guru' [/me rolls her eyes.] David Allen. This was a book purchased in a desperate attempt to make myself an efficient and organized person. In other words, this book was my attempt to go against every natural instinct and habit I have.

Here are the meme rules:
1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people.

Here is my meme response:
"No matter how good you are at creating macros in your spreadsheet or how sophisticated your PDA add-on, you won't be able to push a button, run a formula, and have the result be 'Call Fred.' Even if it did, you would have to consider a lot more things not on the spreadsheet or in your PDA in order to trust that judgment about your desired action. Countless questions have been emailed to me asking for the best ways and tools to organize project thinking."

HEY! Wake up!

I know! That is why I never finished reading it!

Anyhoo, I tag...Alicia Chenaux, Katoria Stevenson, Chestnut Rau, Casius Masala and Garrett Larkham. I am excited to learn something new about you all!

I certainly don't meme to annoy you. :-P
