PromoGuy dot Net: Monday Mission 4.0–The End!
This is, at long last, the final edition of PromoGuy’s Monday Mission.
PromoGuy’s Monday Mission 4.0
1. In the last week, what happened that made you feel loved beyond your wildest dreams?
[ from MM 1.0] I hugged my mom.
2. What was the last audio CD you paid money for?
[ from MM 1.3] The Return of the King Internet-Only Edition Soundtrack. Worth every cent.
3. Has someone you know ever told you they had a terminal illness? What was it like for you when you found out. How did that change your relationship with them?
[ from MM 2.45] Dear God don’t let it be terminal, but my uncle has cancer, a very advanced type of cancer. I feel like I can’t hug him because he looks like he might break. And my mother has Cushing’s Disease, which can be fatal…but I will love her forever, nothing can change that. I guess I was just never as close to my uncle as my mother, which makes sense, I suppose.
4. Do you have an accent? Are there any phrases or words you say that tip folks that you aren’t from around these parts?
[ from MM 2.38] I wish I had a british accent. Or better yet, a scottish accent. The only thing that tells people I’m from Missouri is my tendency to say “warsh” instead of “wash” and I drive on highway “fardy-far” instead of 44. Which I try not to do when I think about it.
5. What’s the difference between being a Father, and being a Daddy?
[ from MM 3.25] Genetics and Love.
6. What is the most recent thing guilt has motivated you to do?
[ from MM 2.50] Call a guy.
7. How do you feel about tips and tipping? Do you feel obligated to tip even if your service is bad because you know the servers don’t get paid much? If you’ve ever relied on tips for your income, how do you feel when you don’t get any?
[This is a new one, had to throw in at least one more hot topic before I sign off] I hate tipping. I understand why you have to do it, because those poor underpaid servers aren’t even getting minimum wage so they need the tips to live, but I just detest having to pay more for a service than is on the receipt. This is why I will never work in the food service industry, nor in a hair salon, nor drive a taxi. And please Lord don’t let those words come back to haunt me.
BONUS: Will you still love me for the rest of my life? Of course I will.
Egad. What am I gonna do on Mondays now? No more MM…I’m amazed he kept it up this long. Go Promo!
