How to create a cool blog for work and what should the name of the blog be?

That is the question...

I have all these relevant names but I don't know if they are good!

*ponder* *Ponder*....

It's all about increasing hits for our website so it better be good!

Tattoos You May Regret

I saw a girl coming out of the train at the same train station the other day and as I was walking behind her up the ramp I realised she had a tattoo on the back of her neck.

Now I don't really have a hang up about body art but this was a pretty spastic tattoo that I'm sure you'd regret later. It was the symbol for the on/off power button on electronic devices like computers and TV's etc. You know the ones that look like an almost complete circle with a little line through the top or side.

Her little power button was obviously "on" because the tattoo was bright green. Now this was a pretty massive tattoo on the back of her neck. She was also obviously proud of this tattoo because her hair was short at the back but layered long at the front so everyone can enjoy the tattoo. (BTW she had green/blue hair too so I suppose having a bright green "power" tatt limits the things that may match with it)

All I was just thinking walking behind her was "What an idiot!"! Don't girls have enough problems being seen as objects without actually coming with a "power" button too? I guess it was waaaaay too deep, symbolic, ironic or neo-crypto-fascist-iconclast that I was just not going to get it.

Tattoo regret must be an awful feeling when it happens. That's probably why you shouldn't put tatts in places that are hard to hide!

- End rant now.

Simple Way for Pacific Brands to Capitalise on the Rugged "Bonds" Brand...

In a very "why didn't I think of that moment?" I bet for the sad marketing guys at Pacific Brands, if they just wanted some good publicity for Bonds again all they needed to do was to wrestle a kangaroo into a headlock while wearing only Bonds undies.

Preferable if the kangaroo is a Ninja, then we can all agree that bloke is a legend. Maybe Bonds undies gives you superpowers...like Weet-Bix?

How can you justify charging a booking fee of $3.40 PER TICKET rather than a flat rate when someone is booking multiple tickets?

Moshtix if you have a way to justify this I'd like to know! - Moshtix you have officially been put on NOTICE!

A work in progress...

At the halfway mark (more or less) into Lent 2008 means its time to figure out how I'm going this so far this year in general.

I'm a bit disappointed as I would have liked Lent to be a little later on in the year. Mostly just because I would have rather my festive holidays were better spread out...(i.e. Not for any good reason!)

It hasn't been going too badly...although I do feel a bit bad for "cheating" on some days. Mostly this was because Lent had to fall right on Chinese New Year starting?? Obviously the Lunar calendar and the Roman Catholic calendar have a lot to answer for!

Other than this, the beginning of 2008 has been quite uneventful.

The most exciting thing being trialling new contact lenses, which I think the right eye is too strong and the left too weak..go figure.

I'm not counting my holiday to Malaysia as part of 2008, mostly because it seemed somehow linked to the Christmas/New year holidays as it was right at the beginning of the year. Also because it seems like a distant memory...(*sigh*...)

Anyways, at least if life is a bit dull it doesn't mean it's not nice! I'm enjoying not having to moan very much. I'm sure I'll create a drama soon enough :P

Ok...back to work!

And then you lose your voice...

Not quite sure what's happening to me but my voice has been cutting in and out since about 11:00am today.

I sound like a pubescent young boy going through my voice breaking....kinda odd. I have sympathy for them now.

That time of year again

So close...and yet so far...to get to the Christmas holidays! I can't concentrate on work and have a stiff neck.

Can't wait until I can just sleep in...nice...

Maybe time and space will have mercy on me and move just a little bit faster than it feels. I can always hope!!

Today is more of the same at work and it just seems even more tedious that normal. Who knows why, could be a combo of it being:
(a) Monday
(b) Monday
(c) so close to Christmas; and
(d) Monday.

Geez...Mondays SUCK!
