Snow ski (I can't swim!)
If you could time travel, would you rather go back in history or forward into the future?

A rink, always. (I don't know how they manage to find smooth outdoor ice on glaciers to film skating specials!)
Would you rather sit near the judges at a skating competition or next to the Kiss'n'Cry?
Kiss'n'Cry!
If you were in need of some extra time to finish some urgent work, WYR work late into the night and then sleep as much as you want, or go to sleep at your regular time to get up extremely early to get these few extra hours to work?

I'd work very late because that's my normal sleep pattern anyway -- bed between 1 and 2 a.m., sleep until 9 a.m., every night. An extra hour or two late at night would be no problem. Being roused before 9? I'm like an arthritic zombie
.Shop online and have everything delivered, or go to stores and malls and shop in person?

Oh early, though as where I live gets very very foggy in winter, at that time of year I don't get any choice
For preference, plane or train?

Haven't had any reason to be on a plane for many many many years, but I hear they're pretty grim nowadays. Even in the past I'd have chosen train, though for sentimental reasons -- we got married in Vancouver and were both set to start grad school in Toronto the next week, so we took the train across Canada as our honeymoon. Does tend to make one rather fond of trainsOh early, though as where I live gets very very foggy in winter, at that time of year I don't get any choice

!If you had a desk job, would you rather eat lunch at your desk while working (if that was allowed) and use lunchtime for running errands/shopping, or take lunch break to eat out and run errands after work?

Gold - suits my colouring better
Would you rather be rich and famous, or the highly-paid employee of someone rich and famous (where you get to live in their homes for free and travel everywhere with them, but the paparazzi don't pay attention to you)
[I wear glasses for reading and used to wear them all the time until I had eye surgery in my teens for astigmatism. I stopped wanting contacts the day I saw a brown-eyed friend have one of her blue contacts go wandering all over the front of her eyeball
.]This is a tough one for me as it depends on more detailed circumstances and purposes of the outing. An elegant gala? I'd go for the real thing even though it is a very public place. Shopping mall? No need, costume jewellery will do 
Would you rather miss a connecting flight but have your suitcase make it and wait for you at your final destination or make the flight yourself but have your suitcase delayed and now you have to wait for it?

Watch some in flight movies! And thus be awake to see a phenomenon out the window like the big beautiful Mississippi River!
WYR have an aisle seat in an airplane or a window seat!
(Gee ... I wore contacts for twenty-some years and never lost one!)

Haven't had any reason to fly anywhere since my kids were small, and automatically gave them the window seats while I sat on the aisle to block them from getting out and annoying other passengers, and to provide bathroom escort.
I guess I'd still do the same from habit if I had to fly somewhere. (I'll take your word for it that the Mississippi River is beautiful. I've only travelled across Canada and between Canada and the UK. Only been a short distance south of the border to the US a couple of times, by car.)WYR buy souvenirs of a trip and carry them home in your luggage, or just take lots of photographs and films?

Own (and I do, it's elderly but it goes just fine)
WYR go out for dinner or order takeaway and eat at home?

With my full menu of allergies I don't really have a choice -- I eat at home, or occasionally at the homes of people who are happy to leave all the ingredients they used out on a counter for me to check the labels. (My MIL also had food allergies, and ended up in Emergency once when she asked a waiter about an ingredient, he got the manager who assured her they didn't use whatever it was, and brought out the chef who swore the same. Except that the chef had under-ordered and resorted to cheating and had used her allergen, lying to save his job. So "asking the restaurant staff" doesn't work.)
WYR hang most of your clothes in closets, or store them folded in drawers?
