Did you ever run away from home?

I used to run away from home a lot when I was younger, but I never really made it very far. Usually I would hide out somewhere like the attic of the garage or somewhere still at home, but hidden, so that doesn't really count. By the time I got to high school I would run away and stay at a friends house or one time I  stayed at a park and my brother brought me food. I was never gone for more then a couple of days though, mostly I just needed a break and had to get away. I admit I had some mystical thinking about being "out on my own" and someone somewhere was going to discover me and I would be a famous model or something.lol

I have not been around  to post lately but I am working on changing that, but for now it is a question of the day...

 

Are you more attracted to people whose personalities are similar or different to yours?

It actually depends on being attracted to them for what. As far as friends I tend to be attracted to people who are like me. I have really high energy and I am a definite extrovert and and tend to befriend people who are the same...but...

As far as being in a relationship with someone I am attracted to my opposite. I like guys who are laid back and low energy. Mainly I think because I would be exhausted if I spent all my time with someone who was always as hyper as me.

 

We tell white lies every day, but have you ever told a big lie, and if so, why did you do it? Confess!

This is actually a funny one. People at work think that I have a boyfriend. They would never leave me alone and they were always wanting to fix me up with people, so I invented a boyfriend. I actually didn't invent the guy. It is a guy I know that I would love to date, but when they ask for details about my "boyfriend" I just fill in the blanks using that guy as my template (so to speak). It is easier to remember that way. It didn't really solve my problem though because now they won't get off my back about wanting to meet him. I may have to have an imaginary breakup. :-)

Do you believe that employee loyalty still exists in today's work environment? How loyal are you as an employee to your company or boss?

I can only answer for the retail environment as that is what I know. I think most people understand that everyone can be replaced. They know that the companies we work for would fire you in a second to cut back on money,and they also know that if they want to have you gone they will find a way.  Because of that  I don't think most people in the retail environment have any real loyalty to the company. Also the places that I have worked pretty much treat their employees like  garbage, so I think the overall mood of the employees is low. Most  of the people that work these jobs are only working them because it suits their needs for the time being. That also cut down on the loyalty to the company. People don't plan on staying so they really don't care, and the ones who do end up staying for 20 years are so burned out on the place that they also don't care.

As far as me. I hove no loyalty to my company other than the fact that while I am there I will do my job the best I can. I would leave it in a second though if something better suiting my needs came along. As far as loyalty to my boss... in the last 6 years of working retail I have had about 15 different store managers. I have no loyalty to them, they will be gone before me. They burn out even faster than the employees.
