Interview Me

Sharon invited her readers to participate in an ‘Interview Me’ meme.  I decided to play along and she sent me the following the questions.  If you want to play, there’s instructions at the end of this post.

1. If you were able to pick the last meal you ever ate, what would it be?

Meat. and bread rolls with butter.  and sour soothers/keys for dessert.

2. What is one of your earliest and best memories?

Watching Hockey Night in Canada with my family.  Every Saturday night we would all sit in the living room, listen to the theme song, and watch the double header.  Dinner was always Hotdogs and Coca-Cola, then in between games we’d have nachos, and ice cream for dessert.  It was such a big part of my childhood that when my parents divorced, I missed this tradition more than spending Christmas together.

3. If you won a large amount of money in a lottery, what would you do with the cash?

Funny you should ask, I’ve been thinking about winning the lottery a lot lately…maybe I should buy a ticket.
First of all, I’d give my some to my Mom so she could pay off her mortgage, and to Dad so he can retire comfortably, then buy them plane tickets to come visit me.  Because I believe travelling is the best experience you can ever have, I’d get my younger siblings plane tickets too.  They could go anywhere they wanted, but NZ would definitely be encouraged.
Then I’d buy a house and take a year (or more) off work to travel…Matt can come too.
Anything left over would be invested…lame, I know.

4. Do you have any nicknames, and if so, how did you get them?

I have quite a few, but these are my favourite:

‘D’ – My ex-manager, Colette, started calling me this.  It’s followed me across the ocean and people at work call me ‘D’ now.  I was thrown off the first time cause I never mentioned my nicknames before…
‘Digby’ – Matt came up with this one.  It’s after the island I grew up on.
‘Daybe’ – Carrie was trying to type my name without looking at the keyboard and this was the result.  It kinda stuck.
‘Dayna-belle’ – most of my family know me by this nickname…and only they can use it.

5. What is your dream job?

I’ve always had a lot of different ideas for a career, but none of them really stuck.  I wanted to be a teacher, get a degree in early childhood development, do something involving travel, become an accountant, and even thought about doing the Birth Attendant school in Perth and going on to work for the UN.
I like working with numbers and finances and I’m been working in that area for a few years now, so I just need to figure out my next step.
I don’t think there’s one perfect job for me, but I’m ok with that.  I’d rather get as much experience as possible and have fun in whatever I do.
