Minor gripe

Well actually no it’s fairly major.
I love Mac OS X. I love the fact you can hide stuff with Apple H in every application and get back to a nice tidy clutter free desktop.
Oh no wait hold on. Let’s see. Why not make one piece of software ignore that and use Aplle H to do something else instead. Gah! and again I say Gah.
I hate Meeting Maker. Every day without fail I end up with some stupid pick group dialog because they decided to be different.

Only in america

Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas, was awarded $780,000 by a jury of her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was running inside a furniture store. The owners of the store were understandably surprised at the verdict, considering the misbehaving little toddler was Ms. Robertson’s son.

This is one of a selection Jonathan has kindly posted from the Stella Awards.

Leaving

I’ve just come back from a leaving lunch. One of my colleagues has grasped the bull by the horns and is moving to Italy. Although for him the future is all bright and breezy. For the rest of us work will continue on.
Luke eloquently puts into words how others just feel about friends leaving for foreign climes. We feel with you mate. We were sad when you left London for your return to Oz. We knew you would have a great time when you returned and all but for us it was same old same old.
I’ve had a fair few friends leave recently. Many for places they are unlikely to return from. I was the one leaving (albeit from only 3 weeks holiday) last time and yet the goodbyes at the airport where strained with emotions bubbling under the surface.
I think the sooner they make personal transporters the better. Then we could still meet up for beers that odd wednesday night for old times sake.

Okay religion is evil part 2

I’m afraid it’s pick on Mormon’s month. Really though I never thought wanking was that much of a problem. Maybe it’s religion that’s the problem. I’m going to write a guide to overcoming religios thoughts. Okay so maybe I’m not. I’m thinking about it though and remember — “First a thought, then an act.”

Minor Mope

I was awoken to a text from Gary asking if I was jealous because he was on his way back to Sydney already. Yes I am as it happens.
So a few calls later and have now spoken to Gary and Jo and ensured they have each others contact numbers and can meet up and maybe have one in the Colombian for me.
So in other news, colonic hydrotherapy – good or bad?

Politically correct muppets

Nope I’m not slagging anyone off. Even though I do think a lot of PC people are muppets.
I’m just saying that in South Africa they have a muppet which is HIV+

Coal Ornaments

Whilst making a cuppa in our work kitchen today I had a few moments to kill awaiting the kettle boiling. So I casually picked up one of the magazines lying on the side. You know the kind. The ones with the sensational ‘I slept with my best friends son’ kind of affair. So anyway I flicked through the trashy stories to the readers tips page (yes tips not wives).
Now I kid you not some of these people lead scary lives. Other than the woman espousing the use of tea when stewing rhubarb to make it less tart, which is scary in itself – some people actually stew rhubarb? More scarliy though was the woman who said ‘when cleaning coal ornaments simply use a shoe shine pad’
Question 1 – what is a coal ornament (no actually on second thoughts I don’t want to know)
Question 2 – who has coal ornaments (no actually on second thoughts I don’t want to know)
Question 3 – what the f*#k

DSR

It’s a while since I checked through my search requests. So when I cam across the i need a quiz to find out if im gay/lesbian I felt obliged to post it to Disturbing Search Requests

I have to say if you need a quiz to tell you then I’m guessing you’re not.
It’s something you just know.
If you don’t then I’m not going to be able to help. I have enough problems of my own thank you very much.

You said that love was just a state of mind


A puzzle made of pieces you can’t find. And for me you never really had the time, I was blind. And everything that you meant to me is written in the pages of my history.
But it’s over now as far as I can see. Suddenly things are so different now you’re gone. I thought it’d be easy I was wrong.
