See above.

Night. I blame my parents, the musicians, who gave me bad habits.

Two cats; one is still a baby all curled up and purring on my lap as I type. :)

Two were my fault, two were theirs...
32. Any pet peeves?
Mostly work-related, can't really discuss here. (customer behavior)
One thing I will say: If you change your mind and decide not to buy something, how about you put it back where you FOUND IT instead of, say, sticking it back in the cracker aisle so it can rot, only to be discovered a year later during inventory?
Waste not, want not, etc.
