1. Jan. 10 is Hammock Day for you. How long have you been with Hammock Publishing?
I've been with Hammock for one year.
2. What do you remember most about your first day at Hammock?
Just how friendly and relaxed everyone was. The vibe was casual and it took me a little while to get used to it. I couldn't believe you could bring in CD's and listen to music and that it was encouraged! Where I worked before they had to know your every move and it was a very uptight place.
3. If you didn't work at Hammock Publishing, what do you think you would be doing?
I would be an art restoration expert at one of the great museums in Paris; or a seamstress at one of the fashion houses in Paris. As you can tell, whatever it would be, it would be in Paris.
4. What was your favorite cartoon growing up?
Bugs Bunny.
5. What CD do you have in your car right now?
The CD currently being played in my car is "Du & Jag Doden" by a Swedish band called Kent. The lyrics are in Swedish, but the music is so cool it doesn't matter.
6. What was your most memorable day at Hammock?
Since I've only been here a year, I guess so far the most memorable day was my first day.
7. What's your favorite reality TV show? Would you ever participate?
I don't watch much reality tv, but every year I find myself getting sucked into American Idol. I would never participate as I cannot sing and I would end up on the horrible outtake clips.
8. If you could travel this summer to any country in the world, where would you go?
Well, I'm traveling this spring to Italy, which is a country I have never been to before, but aside from there I would say Norway. My father-in-law's family is from Norway and they still have a family farm and relatives there in a little town outside of Oslo. Erik has been there before, but I'm hoping that we can plan a trip there soon.
9. Where did you grow up?
I grew up in Florence, Ala. It's only about 2 1/2 hours from Nashville.
10. If you could switch places with any other Hammock employee for one day, who would it be and why?
Susie Garland. She gets to be involved in everything creative, of course as the Creative Director, so it would be interesting just to see what her day would be all about. Plus, I just think she is a cool person.
