Eggs.
What grinds your gears and what floats your boat?
Grinds gears: People who can't turn off their cell phones and blackberries.
Boat Floating: People who are passionate about what they do.
Two words your coworkers would use to describe you
I work at home, so my coworkers are my two cats, and they'd likely describe me as too slow with the can opener.
Who should be prime minister of Canada?
The person who remembers what it was like to work for a living, send half your money to Ottawa and watch a large portion of it wasted on frivolous inquiries and shameless grandstanding in Question Period. But that's just me.
A sport you'd never watch
Bullfighting or rodeo.

Who would play you in a movie about your life?

The last book you read
Great timing because the title is one of the best I've ever seen. Easy read, and laugh-out-loud funny. It's called Don't Tell Mom I Work on the Rigs: She Thinks I'm a Piano Player in a Whorehouse by Paul Carter.
