And now, rather than a post about me, we’ll do a survey (that I stole from Perpstu) with Eddie as the subject.

• What is his name? Edward Neal John Lamborghini Countache McBride
• Who eats more? Definitely him
• Who said I love you first? I’m pretty sure it was me.
• Who is taller? He’s got about a foot over me
• Who drives most when you are together? He does. I try not to freak out too much.
• Who’s more sensitive? Depends on the situation.
• Who does the laundry? He does.
• Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I do, because it’s against the wall and I like it there. When he first moved down we slept on the opposite sides and weren’t comfy at all so we switched. We once tried to switch sides again for some reason, and it just didn’t work.
• Who pays the bills? I do. I tend to manage the money better.
• Who cooks more? He cooks more than I do, but I bake more, and I’m in charge of making pancakes on pancake-egg-bacon night.

• Who is the first to admit they are wrong? He is, please see above for reasons….
• Who has more siblings? I do, since he’s an only child.

• His best features and qualities? I find him incredibly cute, hot, funny, sexy, geeky, dorky, handsome, and sensitive all in one big package. He’s got the type of sense of humor that made him fit right in with my family, and he deals with my insanity when he has to.

• My most evil moment: when Supertech and I make fun of the customers
• My favorite food: Taco Bell
• My grossest injury: a few nasty sunburns
• My biggest hatred: stupidity and the increasing amount of “do this for me” attitude from people at work.
• My most illegal activity: shoplifting from a place that I used to work at, random nights of pot smoking.
• My need for justice: forced sterilization of people who just won’t stop breeding kids that they don’t have the means to support

• My random fact: Lysol makes me cough.
• My stupidest decision: There’s too many to list
• My favorite television show:Lost, Heroes, House, Survivor
• My style of underwear: boy short style

• My X-men power: OCD M&M sorting
• My strongest yearning: to be loved
• My moment of Zen: Saturday mornings when Pickle wakes me up, the middle of the night when Chaucer crawls under the covers with me

We arrived at work this week to be told that we had to take an employee survey about what we think about our workplace and the company as a whole. The survey was your typical bullshit about whether or not we strongly agree or disagree with a series of statements such as “My manager gives me the tools I need to succeed” and “I feel that there is room for me to advance within the company.” Because in a store that doesn’t have any sort of “lead tech” position (aside from the title of Supertech, but I’m sure she’ll tell you it doesn’t come with a pay raise) there’s oh so many promotions that I can get.

What makes this survey such completely and utterly insane is the fact that they’re hyping it as anonymous and voluntary. It’s so voluntary that there is a list of people’s names in the manager’s office that shows who has taken it so far, because the district manager is sending out messages along the lines of “Take the survey, it only takes 5 minutes” (or “minuets” as the note we got read) and it’s gone from a voluntary survey into that gray area between “mandatory survey” and “DO THE DAMNED SURVEY OR I’LL EAT YOUR SOUL.”

Plus, the automated survey system (or THE GIRL, as the old ladies refer to the automated system) must tell you about 15 different times how anonymous your responses are. “No information will be linked to you,” she says in that soothing voice. The recording then proceeds to ask you what your store number is, your job title, how long you have worked for the company, and whether or not you are a full time employee. Let’s see: a full time pharmacy tech who has worked for the company for between 2 and 3 years narrows the choices of employees to… just me.

Let’s hear it for anonymity!
