Cogito, Ergo Sumana for 2007 November 29 (entry 0)

# (3) 29 Nov 2007, 11:52AM: Great For Those Icebreaker Games: Do you keep a list of unusual things you've done? Even just mentally? For me, that list just got an item longer.

1. Danced with an Elvis impersonator
2. Gotten booed by thousands of people (twice!)
3. Translated poetry from Kannada into English
4. Written a weekly newspaper column with circulation in the hundreds of thousands
5. Undergone an eight-hour job interview (yes, all in one session on one day) (this is the new one)

Glad you survived! I think my longest interview day was 7 hrs. , but that was being passed among many different people.

(My icebreaker game list is: 1. went to Tokyo for a weekend; 2. ran in the world's largest footrace, 3. performed in an off-off-off-Broadway (ok, Yonkers) play 4. was interviewed by the NYT)

The ones I usually trot out are 1. bitten by a mountain lion or 2. seen a hunchback woman go to the bathroom. Depending on the crowd.
