Friday Five Time
I can't believe it, but it's time for another edition of the Friday Five.
1. How are you planning to spend the summer [winter]?
Working, for the most part.
2. What was your first summer job?
Honest to God, I can't remember. I remember that the first *real* job I had was working part-time in High School at this company called Bancware. They made banking software. It was great experience.
3. If you could go anywhere this summer [winter], where would you go?
There aren't any major events happening this summer that I'm really *dying* to watch or be part of, to be honest. But I'd love to travel to Europe in the summer.
4. What was your worst vacation ever?
You know, maybe the caffeine hasn't settled in yet or maybe I'm just being retarded this morning, but I can't remember having a thoroughly awful vacation. I do remember a time when I took off for a weekend when I was a teenager -- I had my own car and my two friends and I thought it would be a brilliant idea to drive up to Montreal. It was a comedy of errors: None of us had any cash; our bankcards wouldn't work with any of the ATMs we found; and on the way back we got into an accident.
5. What was your best vacation ever?
Well, I was living in California at the time and took a week off for my 21st birthday and came back to Boston, so I could drink in all the places I'd been carded in during my youth. My mom let me cash in her frequent flyer miles for the plane ticket so I had a fair amount of cash to work with. I spent the week romancing Bonnie, whom I'd known for a while but never met. It was expensive and indulgent, in retrospect, but it was great.
