The 98th edition is posted a little later than I would have liked, but I attended a special event that I’ll write about over at my primary blog later tonight.
And you’ll be happy to know that I gave these questions an extra look to make sure I didn’t repeat any of last week’s! (And thanks to Wil for being the first to email me about the repeat question. You can’t put anything over on Wil!
Dac of “Planetary Verbosity” was first to play last week main edition. Also, last Monday, I posted a “replacement question” for the repeated one, and Barb of “A Ticket to Ride” was first to answer that question in a comment. Congratulations, Donna & Barb!
Here are this week’s “Saturday Six” questions. Either answer the questions in a comment here, or put the answers in an entry on your journal…but either way, leave a link to your journal so that everyone else can visit! To be counted as “first to play,” you must be the first player to either answer the questions in a comment or to provide a complete link to the specific entry in your journal in which you answer the questions. A link to your journal in general cannot count. Enjoy!
1. What is the most difficult aspect of your current job?
2. What is the easiest aspect of your job?
3. How many keys are there on your keyring right now? Are you able to recall exactly what every key on your keyring actually unlocks?
4. Take this quiz (if you haven’t already!): What kind of an elitist are you?
5. What is your least favorite ethnic food, and what makes it your least favorite?
6. If you were a different person, but were to meet someone identical to who you are and how you behave right now, would you likely be friends with that person? Why or why not?
If you have a Reader’s Choice question you’d like to see asked (and answered), click the e-mail link on the About Me bar and send it to me.
MY ANSWERS:
1. I tend to want to please everyone with what I do: a reporter may like a story “sold” one way, while a producer might think that a different angle is better. My boss then may say that the script doesn’t give enough of a reason to watch, then our consultants will review spots after the fact and suggest “better” ways to have done it. (It’s especially annoying when one of the consultant’s suggestions happens to be identical to a “rejected” draft.)
2. Getting the information I need to promote the stories is generally easy, though there are a few who make it more difficult than it needs to be.
3. There are 24 keys on my keyring, and there are at least six that I can’t immediately identify.
4. 
You speak eloquently and have seemingly read every book ever published. You are a fountain of endless (sometimes useless) knowledge, and never fail to impress at a party. What people love: You can answer almost any question people ask, and have thus been nicknamed Jeeves.
What people hate: You constantly correct their grammar and insult their paperbacks.
5. I’ve only tried Indian cuisine once, and I just didn’t enjoy the dish I had. There were too many strange spices and flavors that just seemed to clash, almost as if the individual ingredients were competing with each other for notice on the taste buds. I’ve been told about a very good Indian restaurant in town, and I’m considering giving it a try.
6. I’d like to think so, but honestly, I don’t think I would. I think one must be happier with one’s self than I tend to be to really allow many people to get as close as a good friendship really requires.
Mrs. L,
Blogger doesn’t automatically link, but leaving the address to copy and paste is perfectly okay.
The alternative, to create a link, involves using HTML coding in your comment with a “HREF” command, but it’s not required if you don’t want to.

Does BLOGGER automatically link because I don’t know what else to do. Except to say CUT and PASTE.

Hi, Patrick. Have a good week.
Jude
1. Well, I just quit my current job and start a new one Monday. The hardest part of my old job was watching the polical battles all around me. I choose to stay out of those.
2. The easiest part was working with the operators, who want to get things done and things improved for themselves.
3. There are 3 keys. One for my truck, one for the liquor store I work part-time at, and one for the padlock in the bed of the truck that I use to lock my ice fishing equipment in there.
4. Politics and culture guru. Hmmmm.
5. I’d say “americanized mexican.” There’s a difference between authentic mexican, and americanized mexican. Namely about 4 lbs. of cheese. I love “authentic mexican.”
6. Probably. I’m an easy-going, easy-to-get-along with person who has many interests; none of which I’m an expert at so I don’t make anyone feel dumb.

I’m up here: http://sweetmemes.blogspot.com/2006/02/saturday-6_26.html
1. What is the most difficult aspect of your current job?
The fact that I’m in constant close contact with many, many people. Many of these people are apprehensive. That can wear you down after a while. Also, I work with a group entirely comprised of women. While we are all close, sometimes we’re too close and can’t get on each others nerves.
2. What is the easiest aspect of your job?
Near total freedom and flexibility. I could get away with near murder.
3. How many keys are there on your keyring right now? Are you able to recall exactly what every key on your keyring actually unlocks?
7 keys, and yes I do know what they all open.
4. Take this quiz (if you haven’t already!): What kind of an elitist are you?
You speak eloquently and have seemingly read every
book ever published. You are a fountain of
endless (sometimes useless) knowledge, and
never fail to impress at a party.
What people love: You can answer almost any
question people ask, and have thus been
nicknamed Jeeves.
What people hate: You constantly correct their
grammar and insult their paperbacks.
What Kind of Elitist Are You?

5. What is your least favorite ethnic food, and what makes it your least favorite?
My least favorite ethnic cuisine is Indian. I just don’t like the combinations of flavors.
6. If you were a different person, but were to meet someone identical to who you are and how you behave right now, would you likely be friends with that person? Why or why not?
Certainly I’d be friends with that person. I like who I am, I think I’m fun, kind and witty- that makes a good combination in a friend.
Hey Patrick…good questions~Again. I agree with you on the Indian food, I’ve tried it twice and would not choose to do so again (and I also agree with Carly…….ewwww on the raw fishy thing).
Hi Patrick 🙂
1. Not working right now.
2. See above.
3. 6 and yes.
4. Fine Art & Decor Expert.
5. Sushi… it’s raw fish. 🙁
6. Yes, I think I would. I like me.
