Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Yeah, that question irks me too. I don't want a career. I want to lounge with chocolates and sushi at my fingertips. I want to krav all the time and take photographs and draw and actually finish reading the books I start. In the meanwhile, I'm making do.

ita is me, but swap the sushi with blueberries, krav with swordplay and photography with writing. I hate those career/"Where do you see yourself in five years" questions.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"Where do you see yourself in five years?" "In your job, of course."

Individual development plan: Pick out two or three classes/training things you'd be interested in, regardless of how much relevance they have to your actual job.

PS, I RULE: Two phone calls and one email, and I have two appointments. Now to call people I don't know.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"Where do you see yourself in five years?" "In your job, of course."

Ya know?

Not that I want my manager's job, in the least. Hell no. But it seems that the 'right' answer is either "in your job" or "working somewhere else." There are only so many spots between where you're standing now and your boss's job.

Could I love George Clooney more? Only if his name were Nathan.

Could someone cast those two in a movie so my head can explode.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I don't know if my five-year plan answer would have been career suicide in a more structured corporate culture, but I said I want to be doing exactly what I'm doing now, hopefully on a really successful self-published program (published by our company's owners, not me personally).

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Hey Zmayhems! You have e!

I guess the answer could be, "In the same job, but doing it better than anyone ever imagined it could be done!!1!" Depending on if the boss is concerned about turnover or ambition.

OK, this is where I admit it is for LAST year.

Procrastinate, much?

I have told people I want to be in the same position, but with the organization in a stronger position, so I'll be also managing assistants.

Punishingly Intricate

Any thoughts on Altman's Nashville?

One of my favorite movies EVAH.

HOLY YUM!

"Where do you see yourself in five years?"

My boss knows better than to ask me something like this! Because, yes, my answer would be very much like ita's.
