So, I got this desk calendar from one of my great friends for Christmas. The entries always brighten my day. The running joke is that I am the ghostwriter for a lot of the Dilbert entries. I will leave it at that.
Anyway, I can promise you a similar conversation has happened to me in the past. Deflating doesn't even begin to describe how I felt when I "fixed" the problem... But, now, it really seems hilarious!
Dilbert always seems to be appropriate for most of us in some form or fashion. A good friend gave me this daily calendar. I just had to share today's entry.
So, as I am sure for most, this is a great time of year. One where children wake up earlier and are a twitter with excitement over the coming of Santa Claus. I would just like to wish all my friends and family a very Merry Christmas and happy holidays. I hope that each of you has a very relaxing time off work and remember to enjoy the time you spend around those you love.
So... have you ever had this conversation before concerning vacant office space with your job? So many thoughts come to mind relative to this strip... Like...
We lost a couple of people this week. I am gonna need you to come in this weekend... or...
We have an auditor coming in to "place" random people in empty spots in our offices. Spread some papers around so it can "look lived in"...
So, during Thanksgiving Break this year, cousins met and reunited this year. It was definitely a great time had by all. Notice any resemblances???
Anyway, it will never cease to amaze me how cousins instantaneously bond like brothers whether it was the first time they have ever met or the one thousandth.
So many things can be said about this one... meetings which are typically interminable if they do not have focus, taking technology out of the hands of people that use it for productivity, crushing one's souls, which people who know me know how I feel about that one...
OK... gonna try this over the weekend... But on the surface it looks pretty cool... Found via Lifehacker (a good blog with a wealth of info)...
Webapp FreeRinger makes free PC-to-phone calls from your browser to over 30 different countries across the globe-or at least that's the idea. FreeRinger is powered by another free international calling service, Talkster. The calls are ad-supported, so you never have to pay anything, and since the app runs from your browser as a Flash application, you don't have to install anything to use it. Unfortunately FreeRinger, I wasn't able to successfully log in when testing FreeRinger (even after forwarding port 1935, as the troubleshooting page recommended), so I wasn't able to verify the quality. If you give it a try and have better luck, let's hear how it worked in the comments.
