What TV shows did you watch as a kid?
It’s amazing how sometimes we subject ourselves to things, situations, and events that are disagreeable to us. I used to watch the Tom and Jerry cartoon despite disliking each of those characters? I suppose that was a way to prepare for the workworld. Even if there’s someone who is disagreeable, there is a need to still work with them and get things done. Tom and Jerry prepared me quite well, I must say. I can work with anyone to get a project done.
Now that I have come to think about it, I watched many shows during my childhood that I was thoroughly bored by or actively disliked. I also couldn’t stand Road Runner or a wide range of television shows and movies that my mother loved. Furthermore, she loved horror films and western shows while I really didn’t care for them.
I firmly believe my sense of adaptibility and flexibility can be partly from such exposure to and tolerance of pop culture dislikes. It is good to be able to compromise and watch something outside of your normal comfort (like) zone.

Too late now – whatever I watched, why, and what its influence has been happened a long time ago.
I can pick at the pieces, see how some came about, throw a few away, but I’m kind of stuck with who I am that they influences.
I can work with a lot of people, too, but it may take more than I’m willing to give, in my current disabled state, plus I have my own things I want to do. It takes a LOT to get me to do anything I haven’t initiated myself.
