Washed up on the shores of my PC.

In the spirit of Monty Python & The Holy Grail intro, "Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked have been sacked," comes this notice.
Beautiful pictures of a fairly clever notion, holding the sun.
My new work watch to go with my new work hat.
Clever advertising uses for eggs.

Laugh Or Cry

I have today and tomorrow scheduled off from work (unrelated to any on-the-job sarcasm). I haven't requested two days in a row off from work since last summer, I think. So I treated myself to a couple of midweek vacation days to R & R. Go »
