to 10 frequently asked questions that I never have the presence of mind to come up with (the answers, not the questions).
So I decided to write them down, Letterman style.
Number 10
I have no idea how to get your cat down from the tree. I ran public relations for an animal welfare organization, not rescue services.
Number 9
What can you do for me? For starters, pay my mortgage, get me a BMW… oh, I see. That was a rhetorical question.
Number 8
Since I grew up in Kolkata with 14,999,999 other people, no, San Francisco doesn’t seem very large to me.
Number 7
“Curry” is a spice blend, a leaf and South Asian dishes that are made with gravy. Please read up on your definitions before you tell me you “don’t like curry.”
Number 6
Since I grew up in Kolkata with 14,999,999 other people, no, DC doesn’t seem very large to me.
Number 5
Number 4
Your desperation for my Freecycle‘d item has no bearing on who gets it. “First come, first served,” means just that.
Number 3
If you don’t know which blog(s) I write for, why did you pitch me?
Number 2
I’d rather not “feel free” to pass your resume around when I don’t know you, if it’s all the same to you. Perhaps you could get to know me first?
Number 1
Thank you, your English is quite good too. Where did you learn to speak it?
What can I say?
Once in a while I get cranky.
What’s your spice on demand for when you get cranky?
