Don't call me and I won't call you
I wasn't grabbed by some of the early questions, and then forgot to look at the list because holiday mode. Here are some I could talk about.
8. Do you tend to text people or phone them and chat?
Totally text, or email! I hate phoning - getting or making calls. I'll look for any other way to contact people. Before I worked from home, I'd go and see people in person rather than phone, though it always pissed me off that while I was talking to them, they'd take a phone call. Assuming that's more important than the person right there is just rude. I have a friend who phones with a question and then rambles on randomly with ums, ahs, pauses, and long silences which don't seem to bother her, all of this for an hour or more, and I finally texted her and said how much I hate phone calls and please just text if she wants something. So the next phone call from her I just ignored, then texted her that I'd missed it, and what did she want? Much more efficient!
I gather I'm not alone in hating phone calls; several online friends do. What about you?
(And don't get me started on louts in cafes and restaurants who shout at their phones, or put them on speaker so their whole table can shout as a group.)
10. Has anything recently made you laugh out loud?
Lots of things - TV, books, convos with Greg. We have the same sense of humour. Hey, I've burst out laughing in public, just thinking of something funny.
13. What’s the weather like where you live today? Is it typical for your area at this time of year?
OK, not the most interesting topic, but it's chilly, often wet, and it's meant to be summer. I know summers here aren't great - autumn is the best season, and winter's not actually that bad - but it's been crap. Apparently it's the whole country though. Maybe February will be better; it usually is. The sun's shining right now but it's only 15C and, as usual, windy, and that's pretty good as this summer goes.

Auckland weather is fine but colder than usual - too many southerlies I think.
