Gotta love my place of work…
Turn up in the morning to the fire alarm going off, so after the amount of people standing outside reached critical mass to get the woman who worked for the company who does the fire support to phone up her bosses for help, the alarm gets silenced.
So with a quick check round the building for obvious signs of danger, like flames, burning stuff, small rabid monkeys we all go back to work, with the alarm silently screaming to evacuate the building…
Tis a good job my office has the fire escape in it…

Bloody Hell its HOT!!!!
I’m sat in an office, we have the windows open, the door open, the fire escape open, two fans blowing, and its still to darn hot!!
I think when the weather gets this hot we should go nocturnal. Just lie about in the sun during the day, and work during the evening/night… I’m a programmer god darn it, I probably work better at night anyway…

Well, We needed it to try and and take away some of the heat, we prayed for it, we dusted off the ole shamanic gear and did the rain dance, or didn’t but why let reality ruin a good post!
Earlier on the heavens opened and large drops of rain started to fall, which grew into a short but heavy shower.
Now, there is the rumbling of thunder in the distance, and hopefully this storm with show itself, Since the one last night never really got further than the stage of growling like an old dog.
So come on storm, throw your wrath at us, and a localised power cut would be nice as well.

This is a short post to help answer a friends confusion on the subject.
Over the world there are loads of different deity’s that are worshiped and admired. From the basic one overall supreme being of various names, to the down right odd, like the flying spaghetti monster. Deity’s come in all shapes, sizes, forms.
but you are not one of them. you are not a God!!
Editor: i promised to explain it to him!

Mondays are great, not only do you have to go back to work after a weekend off, but there a law that states, “If something can go wrong, then the chances of it going wrong double on a monday morning”
At some point over the weekend something tripped the electric to the offices (possibly my monitor breaking since this morning it was as dead as a dead thing!), so we had the fun of rebooting machines, several of which developed annoying noises until kicked repeatedly.
Now we just have the cold to deal with. The offices are freezing, in a coat wearing, door closing, radiator hugging level of coldness.
Why can’t we just hibernate over the winter?
Or at least let the snow hurry up and get here, deep snow that closes the mountain passes, and lets us work from home!

They installed a new “SONICWALL” firewall/vpn/gizmo in the office yesterday!
So this morning I come into work sligtly early due to less traffic than normal on the road, Check my emails, and decided to check a couple of websites. Only to be hit with a :-
This site is blocked by the SonicWALL Content Filter Service.
Reason for restriction: Forbidden Category “Cult/Occult”
Which suprised me as the sites I was looking at were not really Occult, or dodgy… So after several minutes Investigation it seems the SONICWALL blocks any site they think is unsafe or belonging to any organisation that some group thinks is a cult. It also covers any site that mentions magic, spells, gods, atheists, or anything that is not the mainstream religions..
What happened to tolerance of other peoples views? 1st we have the americans stating the bibles view of creation must be taught in schools, now we have a big company selling a product that prevents people viewing sites that have views different to what They believe.
If you do an Internet search on you find lots of people mentioning innocent sites that have been blocked by sonicwall.
So remember people Big Brother/NWO/whatever you want to call Them are watching, and controlling what you can or can’t see!!
