How would you describe your default/resting mood?
Around Town
Nick Gargos
Construction manager
Most people won’t believe this, but I’d have to say it is contemplative. I am always thinking about something. No matter what is going on, there is always something on my mind.
Monique Chandler
Cosmetic sales
I actually have two different default moods. One is “on” and the other is “off,” and I alternate between the two. When I’m “on,” I’m busy, busy, busy and can’t stop moving or thinking or doing. When I’m “off,”, I’m just exhausted and don’t want to do or think about anything other than getting some much-needed rest.
Rick Bland
Real estate broker
I’m always on the lookout for fun and interesting trouble I can stir up, and fellow troublemakers who will join me in doing it. I always find them. It keeps my life very exciting.
Ben Sarasua
Police sergeant
I’m always calm, relaxed and offering a soothing presence to the people around me. I’m also always thinking about what lies ahead, so that I will be prepared for absolutely anything that might happen. That is how I’m best able to protect others, and I’ve been hard-wired this way for as long as I can remember.
Will Stubbs
Software engineer
Unfortunately, it is agitated. I feel like I spend half of my life commuting to and from work in Mountain View. It’s so exasperating that occasionally I prefer to actually ride my bicycle to and from the office, thereby avoiding 680 entirely.
