I'll thank Hieronymus for tagging me with this one:

The rules of the game get posted at the beginning. Each player answers the questions about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.

1) What was I doing 10 years ago?

I had just finished my first year of college at UVA and was hanging out back home with my parents in State College, PA.  I had snagged a job with the Applied Research Lab (ARL) at Penn State, but this summer, it was purely a facilities-related job.  However, it would get me an "in" to the computer science/engineering group where I would be working for my next two summers.

2) What are 5 things on my to-do list for today? 

I've got a whole lot more than 5 things on my to-do list, and they're definitely not all going to get done, so I'll just summarize:

• Document workflows to review: Qty 14
• Lay out the 10 bags of mulch on the flower beds
• Install ladder hook on garage wall
• Replace cheap-ass floodlights that the builder put in with decent light/motion sensitive ones
• Go play trivia with Dee tonight (hooray for finding our first non-family babysitter!)

3) Snacks I enjoy:

In no particular order: sourdough pretzels, assorted fruit, almonds, granola bars, Oreos, Powerbars, Doritos, ice cream (good thing this question wasn't "Snacks I'm allowed to eat" or my answer would be a lot shorter!)

4) Things I would do if I were a billionaire:

After making sure everyone in my immediate and extended family were taken care of financially for the rest of their lives, I'd spend a couple years travelling around the world.  I'd put aside enough to keep my family comfortable for the rest of our lives and then donate a substantial portion of the remaining money to causes that I feel need the money.

5) Places I have lived:

Again, in no particular order:

• Norfolk, VA
• Charleston, SC
• Orlando, FL
• Fairfax, VA
• Bainbridge Island, WA
• Annandale, VA
• Concord, NC
• Camarillo, CA
• Charlottesville, VA
• State College, PA (summers, during college)
• Liverpool, NY
• Baldwinsville, NY
• Bel Air, MD

6) Jobs I have had:

In approximate order of employment – includes non-paid positions:

• Babysitter
• Lawn Mower
• Lifeguard (Pool, not ocean)
• Swimming Instructor
• Hershey's Track & Field Program for Kids – Assistant Coach
• Maintenance & Facilities worker
• Software Engineer
• Pizza Delivery Guy
• Radio DJ
• Radar Engineer
• Systems Engineer
• Electrical/Instrumentation Engineer

7) Bloggers I am tagging who I will enjoy getting to know better:

This thing has made the rounds, hasn't it?  Of those who don't appear to have answered this yet, I choose:

Corey, Lemon, Mariser, Lightchaser, and Sheri. Feel free to ignore my tag if you're not interested!
