Where do I apply? · 29 April 07
We saw this sign yesterday on 109 street and 87 avenue.
I don’t think I need to say anything other than: Teehee.

34 of us descended on Whyte Avenue last night and we all had moustaches. It was awesome!

In the loo? · 10 January 07
According to a new survey commissioned by Staples Inc., nearly one in five small business managers read work related email (and other documents) while in the bathroom, and 49 percent say they work while driving.
This isn’t REALLY necessary… is it?

The Daily Nap · 10 January 07
The Pathumwan district office in central Bangkok recently set up a lunchtime “nap room” that features soft music, sweet-smelling flowers, soft lighting and strict rules surrounding mobile phones and talking.
Surakiet Limcharoen, the district’s top official who started the program, in a brave/honest moment said “I’ve been taking naps at lunchtime for a long time, and decided to introduce the project to my staff in November.”
The Bangkok Post’s Monday edition showed a picture of a wood-paneled room with civil servants seated around a conference table. Everybody in the room has their heads down on desks and the blinds drawn.
Now that is progress! Are you listening Alberta employers?

Oh, my shpedaddle! · 7 January 07
Nagging about religion isn’t so much like telling someone about to eat a piece of candy that it’s bad for their teeth as it is like telling someone about to drink a glass of juice that it’s bad for their shpedaddle.
But there’s no such thing as a shpedaddle!
Exactly.

Brussel Sprout Emergency · 4 January 07
How can I resist a story with the f-word in the title?
Brussels sprouts cause turtle fart alarm
A turtle given a Christmas treat of Brussels sprouts caused a Boxing Day emergency when it set off an alarm at a sea life centre – by passing wind.
Its bubbles in the water tank were sent up a tube to the surface, where they popped and splashed water on to a sensor. Marine biologist Sarah Leaney rushed to the 500,000 litre tank in Weymouth, Dorset, assuming it was overflowing.
‘Sprouts are a healthy Christmas treat for sea turtles,’ she said. ‘But they give similar side effects to those experienced by humans.’
If that doesn’t give you a little giggle this morning then… you are more mature than me.

Happy 2007! · 2 January 07
Congratulations everyone, we all managed to survive 2006 (a fully adequate year). That’s right another year has passed, and the Earth has not exploded, imploded or fallen into the sun. For the vast majority of us this is a good thing. Hurrah!
Unfortunately it is time to sit your enlarged holiday butt right back down in your dimly lit cubicle, at that cold gun-metal grey desk, and repeat the same soul-destroying tedium you desperately call a job for yet another 365 days.
Welcome 2007 – may you bring us all some amount of joy… no matter how small.
Heh heh… jus’ kiddin’! Happy 2007 everyone!

Shoelaces are difficult · 1 December 06
I have been having some serious shoelace issues today. Not only have they come undone 3 times on me while I was running, walking and sitting at my desk, but twice now, while I’ve been trying to untie them, they’ve knotted themselves up so badly that I nearly had to use my teeth to get them to let go. And, as many of you know, anyone’s teeth and my feet do not mix.
Perhaps it is the alignment of the moon, or maybe it is solar flares, but most likely it is because I stayed out late last night watching the inimitable That 1 Guy. My opening set went very well and the audience seemed to appreciate my wit and musicality… or perhaps they just liked my pants… but then Mike took the stage and they went mad. As did I! Not only did he play a crazy instrument and fill the role of one man band better than anyone I have ever seen but he also did some breakdancing! Breakdancing people! It was awesome. And to top it all off he was a super nice guy too.
See his shows, buy his album, have him over for dinner. That 1 Guy is great!
