What’s the craziest thing that’s ever happened to your phone?
It was not my phone, but my fiance’s. It went missing for about two days, and I continued to call and call. We had just figured it had been left somewhere besides our house. She was adamant on finding it instead of replacing the phone. So, I was on the back porch cooking, and I heard a phone ringing. I leaned toward the fence, and the ring was coming from the ground… our dog had buried it. It was not damaged or anything! CRAZY!!
Favorite case-mate story?
Remember that one time we were all at… I cannot release any information without an NDA.
Favorite website or news-source?
My favorite website is break.com. I have a problem with viral videos. I find myself loading up the site when I get home to see what people have posted for the day. Some are quite amusing.
Favorite you-tube video?
The one where the hamster gives you the evil eye with the dramatic music in the background.
Favorite phone app?
My favorite iPhone app is Score Center (ESPN). It allows you to customize your favorite sports teams/categories and gives you updates on games, stats, etc.
Guilty pleasures?
Tattoos. Its addictive. If you have never had one, you would think ….oh, ill just get one. Come one! really you serious. You cannot just get one. one leads to two, etc. I might leave early today to get one?
What can’t you live without?
I cannot live without peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I have a thing for peanut butter, I’m not sure if they have meetings for that or not. I fall into depression when I spoon out the last bit from the jar.
When you’re not working at case-mate, what do you do with your spare time?
Prepare for tomorrow’s work load, try to sleep, maybe eat something.
