Pr0n star

A senior executive director sent out a memo with a link to what was supposed to be our site. Except she mixed up the letters in our acronym and sent all staff a link to a pr0n site...

Spelling really does matter.

Memo from the KGB

I sent out a link via email to a "test" site on the internet with a mock-up of sensitive information that wasn't to be released until the next day to several managers for approval...

What I got back was a faxed copy, with all the sensitive words, links, and numbers blacked out with a marker, and the approval signature. Faxed mind you.

Consider this

Contrary to popular belief, your decisions don't drive your long term success - your decisiveness does. Said another way, when you reach a crossroads on any issue, the act of choosing creates power, not the choice itself. The issue is momentum. No matter what you choose, when you commit boldly with conviction, you create momentum. When you hesitate you don't. And success is built on momentum.

Less Puffy

A gym junkie told my sister that he was on day 42 of Absolutely No Sugar. And if he dieted as well, he'd be less "puffy."

Yeah. If I dieted I'd be less puffy too.

squash is the new black

Squash is my new favourite thing. I bought a racket, I bought a ball, I bought a pair of goggles. My butt is super! After four times on the court, I'm still considering turning pro.

It's Pink day, didn't anyone tell you?

You've never seen anything until you've seen 150 church women all dressed in Pink. Generally a bride can happily make all her bridesmaids wear the same colour. When you however demand that the entire female church body wear Pink you definitely have stepped over the line into neurotic Bridezilla territory.

Thanks!

A "thanks for dinner" email got me a "your [sic] welcome sweety [sic]" email. How sad is that??

Rude is funny

I just find rude people funny sometimes. Like the woman at lunch time that said "Watch out!" in a friendly tone of voice as she was coming through a crowded hallway instead of "Excuse me please!"

Oh yes, we will watch out where you are walking!

Squash Pro

Last year my sister played squash for the first time ever. She came home and told us she was considering turning Pro.

I played squash for the first time on Friday. Then I went out and bought a racket, a ball and eye shield. I'm considering that after my squash butt thaws I might become a Pro squash player.
