1. You wake up at 4am because the heater turned on and is bubbling and gurgling merrily, but the sound of it is driving you insane. Do you:
a. keep your eyes shut and will yourself back to sleep?
b. poke your significant other until he wakes up and can share in your misery?
c. try to sleep for 30 seconds, get up and shut heater off?

You choose "c". Now when you wake up in the morning, it will be about 50 degrees in your apartment.

2. You need to get in the shower to not only to get clean, but to help you wake up and warm up. You turn on the shower, but the water is cold. Do you:
a. brave it and get in anyway?
b. skip the shower, get dressed, and catch your train?
c. run the shower for a few minutes, check your email for 15, and hope the shower found warm water in the inbetween?

You choose "c". Now you will miss your train and have to take the later one. And oh, the shower didn't find any warm water when you tried again.

3. Even though NJT's website reported all trains are on schedule, you are freezing on the platform and no trains are in sight. Do you:
a. walk back into the little waiting room that isn't heated, crowded with people, and smells like pee?
b. walk back to you car and drive to work?
c. remain on the platform freezing and cursing the weather and NJT?

You choose "c". The train is 10 minutes late, but fortunately gets you to the transfer train in time. The two rides aren't quite enough to warm you up for the long walk to your office.

4. You are now sitting in on the lectures that you must attend as part of your job. Since it is the first day of class, the professor will probably want to introduce you. Do you:
a. sit patiently waiting to be announced and stand up gracefully and wave to the students?
b. try to slink down in your seat so the professor forgets you are there and doesn't introduce you?
c. knit while following along on the syllabus you have in front of you that is resting on the lap desk that you folded out from the seat, attempt to stand when professor introduces you, bash your leg into the stupid desk-thingy, and look like a fool?

You choose "c". Now your leg hurts, but at least you are still red from the cold and not just red from embarassment.

5. Class ends uneventfully and your leg is even feeling better. You get back to your office and have to pee, so you head down to the basement bathrooms because they are usually cleaner and less trafficked. Because you are a creature of habit, you select stall number 2 because it is generally cleaner than stall 1 and you feel bad using stall 4 (the handicap stall), and stall 3, well one time stall 3 was really nasty and even though it is clean now you are still grossed out. You sit down and pee. You go to grab toilet paper, but there is NO toilet paper in the stall. Do you:
a. just pull up pants and hope for the best?
b. wait until someone else comes into bathroom (which might be a long time) and meekly cry out for help?
c. pull pants up slightly and make a stash into the next stall and hope there is toilet paper there?

You choose...
