Lunchtime Survey

1)I'm listening to my computer defragment. The last music I listened to was a bunch of Japanese rock bands; Raphael, Transtic Nerve, & L'Cryma Cristi.

2)I've never been able to read an email all the way though, so I don't know how anybody signs off.

3)I once tried a frozen meal. I have stuck to home cooking leftovers since.

4)A cassette tape, always noisy & very retro, thougho often forgotten & left in a dark place.

you win! for your sorry lunches, your ridiculous post-its, and your creative answers about tape.

Email us at quirkclassics@gmail.com so we can send you your winnings, and maybe a few cans of soup to keep by your desk.

1) What are you listening to right now? (Music, boring meeting, The Voices, etc)
A keen combination of my upstairs neighbor vacuuming, Boys and Girls in America by the Hold Steady and my cat trying to purr louder than the other two things.

2) What’s the email sign-off that makes you cringe? (Cheers!, Best, xoxo…?)

I hate when people sign emails with 'text speak', like l8r or ttfn.

3) What is the saddest lunch you ever ate at work? (Ramen, ketchup sandwich, nothing?)
Tomato on crackers with mustard. I had forgotten my lunch at home and had been dropped off at work. When lunch time rolled around the other sales jerks were in a meeting so I couldn't get a loan or a ride and had to make due with what I could scrounge up. It wasn't bad, just not as filling as I would have liked.

4) If you were a kind of tape, which one would you be and why? (Scotch, packing, duct?)

Duct Tape, because you can use it for pretty much anything, including making a functional cannon. I'd like Mythbusters to tell me what it is that duct tape can't do...

5) Write the most interesting / ridiculous / cryptic message on one of your Post-Its.

Inside the case of a used copy of a Smashing Pumpkins album I picked up at the record shop:

'Hey there,
I f*cking loved this album in high school, but my fiance hates the Pumpkins, so I'm trading it in so that someone else can enjoy it.

Enjoy the album, it's great.

*illegible signature*'

1) What are you listening to right now? (Music, boring meeting, The Voices, etc)

The air vent making a dull drone blowing sound. Oh, and my disfunctional neighbor married couple are shouting at each other again. Something about not getting the right brand of dogfood or something... *rolls eyes*

2) What’s the email sign-off that makes you cringe? (Cheers!, Best, xoxo…?)

The word God Bless or some weird nerdy sci-fi reference. (Not that I mind sci-fi every now and then, but when it comes from a creepy 30 year-old man who still lives in the basement of his mother's house... *shivers*)

3) What is the saddest lunch you ever ate at work? (Ramen, ketchup sandwich, nothing?)

I ordered a boca burger, being vegan, and they gave me a real meat burger. I was sad and mad.

4) If you were a kind of tape, which one would you be and why? (Scotch, packing, duct?)

Cassete Tape! Hahaha

5) Write the most interesting / ridiculous / cryptic message on one of your Post-Its.

I wrote "Thank you for my copy of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Delux" after reading those kind post-it note on my prize that said "Happy Readings." :)

1. What are you listening to right now?
My cat, Tanner, running up and down the hall for absolutely no discernible reason (yes, I work from home - it's still work!).

2. What' the email sign-off that makes you cringe?
"Lates". Not. Even. A. Word. Makes me insane!

3. Saddest lunch at work?
I work at home, lol! There are no sad lunches. Today I had beef chow mein and a whooopie pie!

4. If you were a tape, what kind of tape would you be and why?
Packing tape! I'd get to travel the world and have all sorts of crazy adventures!

5. Write the most interesting/etc. message on your post it note:
"Need to finish sex shop review". Swear to god.

I'm really glad I didn't sign off the blog post with any form of "Regards."

1) What are you listening to right now? (Music, boring meeting, The Voices, etc)
The clock ticking away the useless minutes as I fulfill my role as drone for the company.

2) What’s the email sign-off that makes you cringe? (Cheers!, Best, xoxo…?)
Regards - I mean c'mon, put a little more effort into it will ya?

3) What is the saddest lunch you ever ate at work? (Ramen, ketchup sandwich, nothing?)
Leftover piece of bread that came with someone's salad the day before and some ginger I keep in the fridge for sushi. Eaten alone. At my desk.

4) If you were a kind of tape, which one would you be and why? (Scotch, packing, duct?)
I'd be a measuring tape, that way I can last forever; much like a zombie. PPMTZ??? (Pride and Prejudice and Measuring Tape Zombies)

5) Write the most interesting / ridiculous / cryptic message on one of your Post-Its.
IMA EE EIS due 31.10.09/chicken socks tp (half work note, half shopping list)

1) What are you listening to right now? (Music, boring meeting, The Voices, etc) Nothing except for the whirring sound of my CPU.

2) What’s the email sign-off that makes you cringe? (Cheers!, Best, xoxo…?) Nothing makes me cringe, really. Well, if someone signed off with something like "I want your soul," then I might cringe.

3) What is the saddest lunch you ever ate at work? (Ramen, ketchup sandwich, nothing?) A Mexican microwavable TV dinner that included an enchilada and a tamale. Believe me, the lunch tasted like neither.

4) If you were a kind of tape, which one would you be and why? (Scotch, packing, duct?) I would be duct tape because I feel that I'm good at fixing many things except ducts.

5) Write the most interesting / ridiculous / cryptic message on one of your Post-Its.
