Easily Amused

One of the super fun aspects of my job (working as an office manager at a non-profit) is taking care of our tax bills. It's actually really interesting to see this side of a non-profit since I'm normally on the "donating" side- it's being really eye opening to realize the tax rate at which some are taxed. ANYWAY, the other day I was paying our unemployment tax online (since we're a 501(c)(3) and all official and whatnot) and needed to create a new account with the Connecticut Department of blah blah blah blah blah (I can't remember which department it was because there are 4 different tax departments I deal with). 


Like any website where you create an account, they give you security question options. Most questions, as you know, are things like "Who was your childhood hero?" or "What's your favorite food?" The favorite food one always struck me as kind of dumb because I don't have just ONE favorite food; usually whatever I'm craving at the moment is going to be my favorite! However, these questions of the Connecticut Department of blah blah blah blah blah website were pretty impressive. They were not only random but it's unlikely that anyone is going to know the answer to most of these questions unless they know you really well. So I copied them down for you, because I'm one of those "easily amused" types. 


What was your childhood nickname?
In what city did you meet your spouse/significant other? 
What is the name of your favorite childhood friend? 
What street did you live on in third grade?
What was your dream job as a child? 
What is the middle name of your youngest child? 
What school did you attend for sixth grade? 
What is your oldest cousin's first and last name? 
What was the last name of your third grade teacher? 
In what city does your nearest sibling live? (Atlanta) 
What is your maternal grandmother's maiden name? 
In what city or town was your first job? 
What is the name of the place your wedding reception was held?
What is the name/breed of your pet?
What is the country of your dream vacation?


Granted, I found most of these on a website that they probably originated from (thanks to some super sleuthing on my part) but I was still impressed by how creative they were! The "country of your dream vacation" question was hard because that changes too! I would say France cause I always wanted to go to Paris, but I was saving it for my honeymoon. I've been on my honeymoon. To Paris, so now I guess I have to pick my NEW dream vacation (though right now ANY vacation would be a dream). 


I don't have any follow-up questions because this was the most random post ever. So have a great day and be kind to someone that doesn't deserve it. Or don't.
