"If you can ask anybody to dinner, living or dead, who would you choose and why?"
I got this one at a job interview last week.
Curious to see your responses.;) Tia!

TTC #1 since 10.2011
If you were a friend...it would be my paternal grandmother. She passed away two years, and I really miss her. There is so much that I want to talk to her about and tell her. She was very smart about a lot of things and was never judgemental no matter what the problem was. I'd love to know her thoughts on a lot of what has happened in the past two years.
If you were my potential new boss...it would be Eleanor Roosevelt. She was a very strong woman, and I would be very interested in her advice and insight.
Like!
My dad, probably. He died when I was 11 so I didn't know him very well, and certainly not like an adult.
If not him, then Ludwig van Beethoven.
a student i was very close to committed suicide two months after graduating from high school. she asked me and a few of her good friends to dinner the sunday before the friday that this happened, so i was lucky that i got to see her one last time right before she died. i had a very, very hard time recovering from this loss. it has altered my life in many ways, one of which has been wondering how on earth i could have missed the signs leading up to her eventual decision. i have struggled with wanting to know why she chose to end her life. if i had the chance to see her again, as well as to talk to her and find out why, i feel like that scar could more fully heal.
but i feel like i would have many different responses to this one, depending on the people to whom i was responding. i'm not sure i would respond with this in a job interview. although maybe i would.
Wow. sorry for your loss.:(
all of this. What a stupid question for a job interview. having said that I would have lunch with my mom--was in my early 20s when she died and there are soooo many things I'd love to ask her today.
But I'd probably say my mom. While I was 36 when she died, it was before I had DS. Now that I am a mom - there are SO many questions I have for her.
Of coruse, in a job interview, I don't think that would be a great answer. But it would be honest....

In a job interview, i don't know.
In real life, my uncle. He died at age 50 after a really nasty battle with cancer. I would love to talk to him again, and tell him about his daughter (she is only 11).
I am a cartoonist and I recently had an exhibit. As part of the exhibit, I chose 6 quotes from famous people -- a cartoon accompanied each qoute; a quote from Mr. Warhol was one of them.
I did a lot of research about Mr. Warhol. He was quite the character, sharp as a whip and funny... Did you know he was a devout Byzantine Catholic and went to Mass every day?
I think this is an odd question for an interview--unless they tend to tell fit?
I would like to meet Condeleeza Rice.
