    Yes I love my job I wake up every morning wanting to go to work which is a blessing. You need to be happy with your job considering that you spend approx 30% of your life at work. If you don't enjoy your job, move to where you will be happier, even if it's for less money it's the best thing you will ever do.

    What would be your dream job?

    I'm glad you like your job, but you must be a patient person. I've been led to believe that at times your boss can be a miserable prick!

    But I agree completely with your statement. Not long back I left a company and moved down in salary, for the sake of seeing my family and having time to enjoy life. You can't replace happiness with cubic dollars and find a real balance in it, unless you fool yourself into thinking so. This is not to say that there aren't good/great paying jobs that still leave time for a life, as I'm working in one now.

    A very tough question, and from my life experiences my "dream job" would be about much more than income. I'd say it would have to involve something where I saw first hand I was helping people truly in need of help. Not as a smile in a suit or upper level position, but where I actually contributed more directly. Maybe a middle level management position for a humanitarian organization, or as a counselor of some sort. But it would have to be a "hands on" type thing in either case.




    Do you think that there are people living in relative poverty that are quite happy with their lives and living conditions?

    He's the boss. That's why going to work is a blessing. :

    Living in poverty is tough and generates a lot of problems. Still the most important thing is health. I lived at the lowest limit of poverty but I was happier than I'm now when I have a relative good income but about 2/3 of it goes on my mother's treatment. Maybe for you it's hard to understand but poor people has their own reasons of joy. What is considered normal for us for a poor might be a big realization even if we consider it minimal.

    Have you been baptized ( or christened or whatever the word is )?

    Yes.
    And we’ve baptized both my kids, even though my wife and I are not really religious. Not sure why we bothered to baptize them; more out of custom I guess.

    When’s the last time you attended church (temple, whatever…)?

    I usually go only for weddings, christening and funerals and I've never missed the Easter night. However since my mother is so sick I started to go from time to time just to light a candle for her health ( in fact candles are lighted outside the church - an annoying new custom ).

    What's your fav cake?

    I don't diet as such, but I try to eat a balanced and sensible way (I did say try, not succeed). As to how I look, as long as I am healthy and relatively fit I am not too worried.

    Not including any physical traits, what would you consider to be your best feature?

    I like to think I am a very friendly person to anyone I speak to, online or in person. I have no time for people who are nasty for no reason.

    Be nice and you feel better.

    Do you have a balanced musical taste or do you only like one genre of music?

    I like different kinds of music. Can't stand folkloric music but there are a few songs that I admit are great. When I'm in the mood I can also listern to symphonic music or opera.

    Would you have liked to be a singer? If yes, who?

    I would certainly love to be able to sing, but if you had heard my voice you would agree I can't.

    I would like to have been someone who can sing many types of song well. Don't really know who though.

    Do you read Newspapers?
