We are continuing our series called ‘Words With Friends’, where we get to know our WKE staff by asking them random and somewhat pointless questions. If there is something you’d like to learn about Annie post it in the comments section!
Please state your full name, title and how long you’ve worked here:
Ann Michele Bailey, Enologist, 3 years
Where are you from?
Berkeley, CA
What was the last thing you cooked?
Spicy, beef fajitas
Do you have any pets?
I have 3 cats (named Suki, Gato and Monster), and a ferret. I got into ferrets 20 years ago because of a friend. They were illegal in California so we had to drive across the border to Reno just to get one.
What was the best thing that happened to you this weekend?
I slept the whole night through while camping in Southern Oregon. Turns out an air mattress is the best place for a pregnant lady.
Crunchy Peanut Butter or Smooth
Crunchy.
What were your best/worst subjects in school and what subjects would you want to learn now?
Best: Math, Worst: History, and I would take chemistry if I could go back.
How often do you clean between your toes?
Every morning. Once my belly button started to protrude (from being pregnant) I realized I should be paying more attention to stuff like that.
Do you have any tattoos? Of what?
I have one tattoo of a red rose, I was 18 and thought I had to pick one from the book at the parlor. I want more but I can’t decide what or where.
Paper or plastic?
I use those new-age cloth bags.
If you had one extra hour of free time a day, how would you use it?
Reading. I usually read fiction like right now I’m reading the Dragon Bone Chair.
What book has influenced you greatly? How?
Time Enough For Love by Heinlein, it’s a life lessons type of book that I first read when I was 23. I’ve read everything else by Heinlein but its still my favorite.
What is your favorite way to waste time at work or procrastinate?
I usually go searching around for chocolate, you know, the kind Carol leaves in the kitchen for the staff.
