Oh yeah! Uh-huh! Oh yeah! Uh-huh! I passed. 🙂

Hello peeps, What’s this? An early post? Something to shocking to leave until the traditional Friday upload? No, not really. To make things a little easier to digest, this week I’ll be posting the odd thing here and there to try and break up the wall of text that I normally do. With luck, there’ll be something to read, maybe even worthwhile. But, hey, this is yet another t-girl blog. I could just rattle on about shoes. Ooo, shoes! (Ed: FFS). Sage Wisdom Wise man says: ‘Man in light coloured trousers should run taps gently.’ Beige trousers, pink shirt. I might as well get a Angels’ tie-pin! The New Man stuff has gone too far. 🙂 Monday mornings eh? I’m […]

Howdy partners, Good week? I do hope so. Fun with Wipe Boards I was about to type: ‘do you find yourself bored in meetings?’ But really that’s a stoopid(tm) question really. So, before you enter the 10th circle of hell, to help pass the time, why not turn up a little early and write down some outsourcing terms on the whiteboard or on the flip charts? Chuck in some random percentages, a graph or three and include words like key staff attrition, customer return index, Capita vs Prometa vs Offshoring, OCP retention, projected staff losses, chainsaw cull, etc. You can also do similar things for companies who are MS / *nix / Netware houses. Just pick your favourite opposing technology company and jot down […]

Hi folks, How’s it going? There goes another a week… Monday, what a drag Despite the ropey pun, the week got off to a good start. I had a meeting out of town so rather than head straight into the office, I thought I’d try a few outfits out at home. In particular, I was wondering what I should wear on my feet for the line dancing at the next Chams meeting. Flats? Don’t own any. Heels? Could be tricky. Boots? Possibly. After a quick practice dance to Queen’s Crazy Little Thing, I decided on the shoes, not the boots. I also tried (re-tried?) the footless tights look. Yeah, so it’s a look that’s really going to date, but what […]

Hey everyone, How’s life? Well I hope. I’m slacking. I’ve sloped off from the office to hide out in the Staff kitchen. No email client. The mobile’s on silent and my desk telephone is switched to voicemail. Just me, the lapop and a cup of herbal tea. Yeah, it’s sooo rock and roll eh? I know I should really be doing some work right now, but honestly, I really don’t give a monkey’s. I guess it’s a bit like stuffing your face full of cake. Deep down you know that the consequence is that you’re not going to be able to fit in your kegs (translation: trousers) but at the time you just want cake. So it is with slacking. […]

Hey y’all. Another week draws to a close eh? Time for another Friday night brain-splurge into the blog hive mind 🙂 They came. They saw. They had Chinese food. So Transpocalypse 2 (working title: Opus Dey Do, Don’t Do Don’t Dey) has been and gone. I’ve been reading the posts about those that went and it seems everyone had a good time. Meeting new folk is always nice (well, unless they’re armed and dangerous). Liverpool was just too far for me this year, plus I don’t think going away for 2 days would have gone down too well. I’m not disappointed (no, really) as there will be other times. I was too late for the Birmingham shindig being a Janey-come-lately […]
