38. From whom did you get your last email?
It was a notify from a Morningstar Manor thread with essayel

39. Which store would you choose to max out your credit card?
The Fair Trade shop around the corner. No, I'm not that terribly ethical, it's just that they stock the bestest things ever, from Mango Monkeys over Zotter chocolate and Putumayo records to my favourite Indian leather things. And none of it is cheap.-

40. Do anything spontaneous lately?
I ended up watching 'Being Human' instead of cleaning the flat, yesterday, and had just an emergency sweep-through before the Nazgul arrived for movies and cooking.

41. Like your job?
I like my job, but I detest a) the Miserable Village it takes place in and b) some of the planless and utterly 'spontaneous' idiots I have to work with. Also, my pay is firmly on the lower end of the scale for an IT person and doesn't reflect the many different things I can do. As soon as the economy picks up a little, I'll try and find another job. It's been almost ten years; it's really time.

42. Like broccoli?
Yep. But not nearly as much as either the Nazgul or my Little Lady do. I can always make them happy with the green stuff. They're easy that way.-


As an extra, I put the answers I left in after copy-pasting it from wiebke in italics.-
