My Car radio is now tuned in, random settings changed, advanced settings changed, and even things I have no idea what they do changed…

Interesting Email Time

I Just had this online test emailed me with the simple comment of ” Thought this may appeal to your work place ;o)”

What it seems to infer is how hard it is to tell the difference between a cerial killer and in Computer Programmer. (Knowing some of the coders I know, I can understand this, especially after an all nighter, and the realisation there is only decaf left!)

Can you judge someone by looking at them?

Patience is a Virtue!

Due to a busy time in work, and a general apathy I have ended up with about 712 unread emails in my inbox, normally this is no big deal as they all get sorted eventually…

But I just got a text message accusing me of ignore email, and asking why… Now what was my heinous crime? ignored email for 1 month? 2 weeks? 1 week? no 1 day…

As a wise Ninja once said “One should learn patience in the time a cigarette takes to burn!”

Some People Have No Sense Of Humor

A while back I received an email from someone I did not know.

[EMAIL]
Hello.
I don’t know you and you probably don’t know me because this e-mail adress does not have my real name. I was just wondering if you could tell me who you are, and please tell the truth. I saw this e-mail adress someplace and I was wondering who was this person. Please respond with your real name. Thank you.

They did not help me by saying where they had seen my email address, or in what context. So I emailed back in the only manner available.

[EMAIL]
I am Me!
Thats who I am, No more, No Less, Just myself!!

Wayne Owens
[/EMAIL]

Which I figured was a simple answer, I stated i was me, and as requested I gave my real name. So imagine my supprise when 2 weeks later I get this… Proving some people have no sense of humor.

[EMAIL]
Thats really helpfull. Thanks a lot. Seriously though who are you?

See, try and be helpful, and you get nowhere!!! :0)

The wonders of The Internet

Cool.

I have just discovered you can tax your car on-line, So no longer do I have to spend days trying to find all the bits of paper needed for the taxing procedure. Or then pop to the post office during lunch break and get stuck in a line of old people so bored and lonely they go to the post office for a nice chat with the equally bored old person behind the counter…
