Turning 30 and a half: Who'da thunk?

April 16, 2005

Who'da thunk?

Noticed Kate at The Last Amazon, there's another quiz:

Your Linguistic Profile:

65% General American English

15% Dixie

10% Yankee

5% Midwestern

5% Upper Midwestern

What Kind of American English Do You Speak?

Huh. Not sure what to make of it. A lot of the questions I used none of their suggestions.

For example, when the sun is shining while it's raining, do you call it "The Devil Is Beating His Wife"? I have never heard that one, but a South African friend of mine used to call it "A Monkey's Wedding". I always thought that was cute.

Thanks for the words of encouragement in my last post. Updates - some good, some bad.

For the bad, the interview didn't go as well as I would have hoped. I could do the job and was well qualified, but I just felt soooo....um, judged. Yeah, I know that's what interviews are about, but it wasn't a nice feeling. The lady that I would be replacing is not exactly brimming with joy of leaving her job (she's due with her first baby in early May). They said they'd call...I'm not holding my breath.

Good news. Todd called. I woke up to a voice saying "You are such a freak, good thing I love freaks". The romantic moment over, we're back to bantering. I can do that.
