Re: How hard are you to please?

I have standards in care and service and expect them to be met as I strive to meet them.

In my relationships I am easily pleased a little affection goes a long way

And you might be a little stressed too.

Mmmm that sounds about right

Re: How hard are you to please?

it really does depend on my mood at the time.

stressed = then god help you, if something isn't "just right":curse:

mellow? = sod it, do it another day

in between? = leave i'll do it

Think that sums me up.

I was astonished .. but then isn't mediocrity easy to avoid?

I'm the same, easy to please - yes Sir! - but also won't accept medioc...mediac....mediocrity. Yup.

One of the things I tell Chief is that there is a time and a place for everything.

And typically, my timing and place is wrong.

So are you easy to please?

IPom, seriously, you strike me as being well balanced. You come over as fairly switched-on, but also fairly even. You have standards, but you're not silly. Good person in a crisis.

Thanks. I asked my friend if therefore this assessment meant that I was 'high maintenance' and she said 'God, no!', so I was happy with that.

If you're having a crisis, I might be busy though, washing my hair or something....

It really depends on the crisis.

Even I'd have a bad hair day if a friend was in trouble.

Re: How hard are you to please?

I'd say I am easily pleased. That doesn't mean I settle for mediocrity, just that I try not to let the wrinkles of everyday life get to me. My wife on the other hand ...
