Life Lessons

I've made a huge mistake....

At this very moment I am at work listening to a CD called "Opera without words" (which is exactly what it sounds like) while playing a little game called "the poem game" (which is exactly as fun as it sounds)

for those of you at home who aren't familiar with the game, and would like to play at home here's how you play: You'll need two people (one of whom is old) and a computer. The old person recites a line of poetry that he can remember, then the second person on the computer tries to find the entire poem on the internet and in the rare case he does, he then reads the entire poem to the old person out loud who then replies "ah yes i remember that one" and this goes on and on until he finishes his workout.


There's a lesson to be learned in all of this, and that is never be nice to old people or pretend to be interested in anything they say. This would have never come about had I not pretended to show interest in his book "victorian parlour poems" (which i might add he is bringing to his next workout)

Tales From Work: Bringing Productivity To New Lows

I'm pretty impressed that I was able to upload a picture and you should be too...

Now that hockey season is over my fun with excluding all hockey related news on the sports board at work is over, replaced by fake hockey news beginning with this piece courtesy of the onion http://www.theonion.com/content/news_briefs/hockey_ticket_sales

and more fun at hockey's expense http://www.theonion.com/content/video/nhl_star_called_up_to_big_leagues

Old guys's response to seeing "Hockey Ticket Sales Tapering Off Slightly" as a headline on the board "Isn't hockey season over?" and my reply "It sure is" he gave a me a slightly confused look and then continued on with his workout...sadly nobody else has noticed.

Also how do I make those fancy links that don't show the whole address?...you know, the ones where just one or two words are highlighted and then you just click on them...I'm looking at you Brent, our blog does not yet at this moment have millions of readers worldwide, that will take at least a few weeks, possibly more if you don't include any fancy pictures and links like me.

Next time on Tales From Work, old people's response to the spice girls and other music of that nature.
