Normal?

So far everyone in the office is more normal than me... That can't be right can it? I mean surely everyone finds bookcases hilarious?!!!

You Are 40% Normal (Somewhat Normal)

While some of your behavior is quite normal... Other things you do are downright strange You've got a little of your freak going on But you mostly keep your weirdness to yourself

How Normal Are You?

Go on, have a go, let me know if you're even less normal than me......!

How to be a professional

Do not walk into your team leaders bookcase.

If you do walk into your team leaders bookcase, it’s probably worth not finding it hilarious, and getting a fit of the giggles.

However, even this is excusable if your team leader doesn’t notice. If he does then explaining that walking into bookcases is funny is probably not the way forward. He may start to think that you’re a little odd. This is if he hasn’t already worked that out.

Maybe I’ve had too much coffee, but I still think it’s funny – and it’s a bookcase! What’s wrong with me!?!?!!!

(To be fair, said team leader was fairly busy being amused at me giggling to have any serious concerns about my mental state)

42 minutes!

I survived.... I made it round the course in a whole 42 minutes. I ran about 1.5 km of the 5km course. But I survived! And it wasn't THAT bad....

I didn't have to crawl for any of it, however, there are stairs between me and my bed.... now who's bright idea was that....

Mum also made it round, and if you want to sponsor us (All monies to cancer research) then see my previous post! :-)

what was I thinking?

On Sunday I'm walking/stumbling/crawling 5km. That might not sound like a lot to some of you supertfit people, but it's not bad for me...

Mum and I are both going to complete the course, and intend to do so without need of first aid assistance...

The money raised goers to cancer research.... If you feel that it's a good cause please sponsor me here:

DON’T do it. And don’t let your housemate do it either. It might look pretty... But...

Urgh.

This is great. I particularly like the concept of reheating coffee.....

Passwords

• You must change your passwords regularly.
• You must never write them down.
• Never give out your passwords to anyone.
• Don’t use the word ‘password’ as a password
• etc etc.
  

I’ve realised today why it is so important for security to do the above… Once you’ve changed your password, forgotten what it is and locked yourself out of the system then no-one can get into to your stuff. Not even you.

How’s that for secure?

Grrrr.

discrimination

"The dosing pumps are not man enough for the pressures required"

So now we have sexual discrimination of pumps! What is the world coming to.

I wonder if I can take legal action on their behalf. I’d probably need them to sign something though, and I don’t think pumps can sign things… oh no, I’ve discriminated on grounds of disability….

It doesn't look like me, and I no-one called Bob phones me..... but other than that this cartoon is all about me!  

Apparently there's an election coming...?

At last, a manifesto that makes sense.... unfortunately, that's why I know it's not a good idea to vote for them... Ahving said that, this is brilliant:

"We pledge to reduce class sizes by making the pupils sit closer to one another and issuing them with smaller desks."

Take a look for yourself....

Feeling lightheaded

"There’s something different about you today"
"You’re looking a bit different"
"Have you had your hair cut?"

The observational skills in this office are impressive, as, yes, I have had my hair cut. It’s about 3 to 4 inches shorter than it was on Friday. I’d anticipated comment, but not office wide discussion… The secretary has been heard to comment that she likes it so that’s ok. I can breath easy now. She’s not said it to my face though… (is that good or bad?)

The comments about maybe it’s the reason why I’m asleep this morning is a little more disturbing, (Like Sampson I apparently lost my strength along with my hair) and serve to demonstrate the randomness of the people in this office and their state of boredom at present.

Unfortunately, the theory that if they didn’t recognise me they couldn’t give me any nasty work to do has been proved wrong. Ah well, better luck next time…

Alleluia!

They've replaced my phone! And it beeps and everything! wooooo!

It's only taken 2 weeks. Lets just say that three customer service is better than O2, but they don't do joined up thinking.

And don't even think about getting an LG phone. Not now, not ever. They just don't work.

Nope. Whichever way you say it it makes no sense.

This weekend I was helping with a scout camp. (Because I don't have enough things to do in my 'spare' time as it is...) I was there to help with catering for the core team.

It was a scout camp called Nemesis 3 for all the scouts in Berkshire. There were about 250 scouts plus associated leaders. The idea was that the scouts went round doing all sorts of exciting activities sich as climbing, caving, sub-aqua, firemaking, woggle making, tie dying, pioneering.... etc etc etc.

On Friday night as they all arrived we were running a BBQ to feed them. Great. A BBQ for 300+ people. Makes sense. Logical.

Except for that funny white stuff that kept falling from the sky. Some might call it snow. Some might call it sleet.

Whatever way you say it BBQ and snow are not an ideal combination.

Was fun though. And scouts are indeed resourseful... It's the first time I've seen people make a roller blind door out of excess bog roll....

Which Muskehound are you?

I'm Juliette! I might look as if butter wouldn't melt in my mouth, but in fact I'm brave, clever and resourceful. Friends know they can trust me with their most important secrets; enemies underestimate me at their peril.

I like the sound of that....

Find out which one you are..... on this link...

Karol Wojtyla

RIP John Paul II.

Whether you agree with his theology or not, you can't disagree that John Paul II was a good man who stood up for what he believed. Religious or secular - you can't ask for more than that.

He's with God now, and I'm happy for him. Now we need to pray for the rest of us left on earth to listen to the Lord and hear what he wants us to do. This is the first time I'll know a change of Pope. We live in intersting times.

RIP.

hmmmmm?

It must be Easter. The new phone list is bright yellow.

I wonder if it’s yellow to symbolise the light of the world that Easter is all about..? I must remember to ask the secretary….

Gardening

An interesting concept is gardening. You pull out the pretty little flowers because they have been designated as weeds. But you leave in the ugly monstrosities that are apparently ‘meant’ to be there. Those are generally the really spiky plants that really hurt if you sit on them.

My brother decided the best way to cope was to pull out everything, examine the roots, and then put the important looking ones back in the ground.

I went for the talking to the plants option. If they didn’t answer they must be bad. However, as Alan pointed out I was even less likely to get a response from a dead plant from a live one..

So despite my efforts, the Grandparents’ back garden does look a lot better.
