1. What did you do on your summer vacation?
There will be no summer vacation this year, as all of our funds are going to buy our house. However, we are going out of town for various functions that our employers pay for, so maybe those count.....
2. If you could stop time, what would you do?
Sleep.
3. What is your hidden talent?
I can get people to tell me things (usually more than I want to know).
4. What's your dream house like?
The one we're buying! One story, three bedroom, two bathroom with an office and plenty of space to spread out our junk.
5. What's your favorite hand or arm gesture?
When I was in depositions yesterday, we finished the deposition of the plaintiff's wife. At the end of the deposition, if you were the deponent, you have the right to read a copy of the transcript and review it for typos, and then sign it to attest to the accuracy of it. However, if that sounds like a pain to you, you can waive that right (referred to as waiving reading and signing).
At the end of the deposition, her lawyer said, "Okay everyone, we're done." The court reporter said, "Wait is she going to read and sign?" and her lawyer said, "No, she'll waive." When he said that, she stuck her arm out and waved at the court reporter, throwing everyone into fits of laughter. It's the best hand gesture I've seen in a while.
