Blog Tag: Five Things You Don’t Know about Keri Morgret

I haven’t played tag in a long time, but Blog Tag is going around and Bill Slawski tagged me to list five things people don’t know about me.

1. My last name is pronounced More Gray, though I hear distant relatives (of my husband) on the East Coast pronounce it More Gret. It works great as an early warning sign that a telemarketer is calling.

2. I wanted to be an occupational therapist since I was a child — until I got Cs in Anatomy and Physiology and wasn’t able to get into the OT program at my schools of choice. Assistive technology, sensory integration, and the needs of the developmentally disabled are still of interest to me.

3. Being a preschool teacher and dealing with two-year-olds was good preparation for working telephone technical support and dealing with adults throwing tantrums because their computers were broken.

4. I have been a ham radio operator (N6TME) since I was 11 or 12 years old, and every member of my family is still licensed and active in the hobby.

5. My grades in high school algebra would have been higher had I not read Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged through most of the lectures my sophomore year.

My tags are: Dan Zarrella, Roger Johansson, Pamela Heywood, Brian Clark, and Andrew Goodman.
