Monday Mission 4.
January 5, 2004

There you have it. This is the final new Monday Mission by Promoguy. However, you can still work on previous Missions.

1. In the last week, what happened that made you feel loved beyond your wildest dreams? [from MM 1.0] Not really, I hate to say. The story of my life. Goodness, I fear I'm always going to be single.

2. What was the last audio CD you paid money for?[from MM 1.3] John Mayer's Heavier Things.

3. Has someone you know ever told you they had a terminal illness? What was it like for you when you found out. How did that change your relationship with them?[from MM 2.45] No. My mother told me that Grandma was ill in 2000 and we knew it was coming but she was always the distanced grandmother.

4. Do you have an accent? Are there any phrases or words you say that tip folks that you aren't from around these parts?[from MM 2.38] Yes, it's a Savannah River accent with a few years seasoning in Fayetteville, NC. However, half the stuff I say to people will tip them off I'm not from Savannah, originally. Even if I've lived here for 10 years.

5. What's the difference between being a Father, and being a Daddy?[from MM 3.25] I'll just link that Mission, OK?. *Wink*

6. What is the most recent thing guilt has motivated you to do?[from MM 2.50] I'm feeling guilty being a bum at this moment but school starts tomorrow. I won't feel as bad.

7. How do you feel about tips and tipping? Do you feel obligated to tip even if your service is bad because you know the servers don't get paid much? If you've ever relied on tips for your income, how do you feel when you don't get any? [This is a new one, had to throw in at least one more hot topic before I sign off] I'll tip what I know is fair if I get good service. If it's bad service, the tip depends on what happened. If the server is not at fault, they'll get a good tip for putting up with us and for being unfortunate that their employer couldn't get it's stuff together. However, if you are just someone that doesn't care, well, I don't care what tips you do get. You didn't earn one from me. I don't expect my server to wait on me hand and foot, but once in a while, make sure I have some water!

BONUS: Will you still love me for the rest of my life? At first, I thought of Carole King's "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" but I knew it wasn't that. As I was saying out loud did I realize it was Chicago. *Laughing* Why not, Promo. You're one of the best in the Blog world.
