Situation # 1
You and a friend are out boating. You are in the river, in the channel. { The channel is the deepest part of the river, that large ships and barges can travel} Your boat is a 24 ft motor boat. The engine for some reason stops and won't start again. Yikes....A large ship is coming up the channel, What do you do?

I am sure the boat would have some sort of radio on it so I would call out an SOS and do my best to warn the other ships. If there isn't a radio available I would get to the highest point on the boat and wave my arms like a mad woman to get the other ships attention.

Situation # 2
You hear about a job opening at a local firm. You have excellent credentials. You had one phone interview with the head of the company. Everything went great! He asked you to have a second interview with his Secretary the following day, he would have done it himself but he was to be out of town. You go to the interview and the Secretary happened to be a rival from your old high school. You and her have never gotten along........you leave the interview feeling like crap. You don't hear from them in a week.......What do you do?

I would actually call the head of the company the following day to find out how things went...I would not give them a week to think about it LOL. But if, I do not hear from him a week after calling him the day after then I would call him one more time...just to keep my name fresh in his mind.

Situation #3
You really like this person. This will be your first date, a get to know each other. And have invited them over for supper. They arrive and they tell you the food looks awefull, "lets skip the dinner, and go explore each other" What do you do?

I would be hurt...that is a rude thing to say about the supper I prepared. If the supper is that bad then he should suggest we go out for a meal...and even offer to pay for it. If his only suggestion is "let's go explore each other", then he is only there for one thing and one thing only. I would ask him to leave.
