Herman Miller Chairs Fashionable?

One thing I have noticed since I joined my new company was the fact that while at urinals, the guys here tend to let out farts. It was as though this practice was completely kosher. I found it to be extremely gross.

I mean seriously if you gonna to do it please at least get a cubicle. Until I realised that it was sometimes involuntary. The other day I was at the urinal and lo and behold a little bleep was let out. I was horrified but kept on looking straight at the wall hoping people in the toilet would be nonchalant. But deep down I knew they knew.

So I found the culprit. Presenting Exhibit A: One Herman Miller chair




Exhibit B: Mesh fabric




Verdict: Due to the lack of pressure that results from normal chairs, the mesh does not allow for normal passing of gas as such, whilst urinating their is a pressure built resulting in an involuntary bleep. Case closed. Fart away and blame Herman. (this is backed up with absolutely no scientific evidence but from years of farting)

Its Friday lah!

Sept découvertes cette semaine #2

1) Is imagining himself sitting on the railing overlooking Cottesloe beach.

2) YOU version is my favourite app!

3) Contentment is putting Sophie to sleep and just watching her sleep.

4) Realised that more pictures the better, every wall should have something.

5) Ecc 11:4 Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant. If they watch every cloud, they never harvest. -- there no such thing as perfect timing other than now!

6) "Paci" is the short form Sophie has conjured when she wants her pacifier. It's so cute.

7) An offended friend is harder to win back than a fortified city. Arguments separate friends like a gate locked with bars. Proverbs 18:19 -- sorry for the additional verse but it's amazing that someone who is an unbeliever read it and was impacted to unlock the gates.

Contentment

Whenever my cousin comes to town I enter a phase of "what would life be like if..."

Over the weekend, I attended an ex-colleague's thing and I was sure to meet lots of other ex-colleagues. Wasn't looking forward to it but I went albeit late. One of them asked is where you now are better than where you were? I sensed ears all around me opened attentively when that question was shot. I tried to be politically correct and give them a 'it's all relative' type answer. But on my way home I realized that the politically correct answer was indeed the honest answer. I wondered then and there what would life be life if....

My cousin and I, were pretty much on the same path around 15 years ago but a few years on from that we forked. His life now, is an individual's life, he has loads of friends, lives in a country where English is not the medium of communication thus, culture wise it's the complete opposite, he travels, explores lots and he loves it! He epitomizes the true Sagittarius.

As a saggy myself, I expected myself to be green with envy to his adventurous existence but, I was not at all. I wasn't packing my backpack just yet instead I was donning a backpack filled with diapers, milk power and little clothes. And as I looked down there was this smiley face with a toothy grin and big eyes saying "Dadddddie!" I reached down to pick her up and I immediately felt contentment filling me. Thank you Jesus!

BlogPress

This issue has been with me for a while but I think I am finally on top of it. It's was relating to blogging on the go. Just found this app and have used it in the last two post very successfully thus this post.

BlogPress costs 2.99; it's pretty good and only app I found that handles picture uploads in text. Try it!

Stain Scourge

If it is acceptable to wear bibs while eating out, I would be a supporter. But we are adults and not children ergo it's not acceptable. But when you are eating noodles or liquidy type food, slippages are bound to happen.

It always seems to happen to me on days when I need to look presentable or when I have important meetings, that is when I am overly conscious of how I look.

After trying a few shirts in the morning to find the perfect one for my interview. I carefully headed to work not to crease my shirt too much. Then when I went to the toilet, horror of horrors this is what I saw!




Noooooooo. Coffee stain!!! Look closely. How the heck did it get there? Sigh! This was at 10am and so I needed to get a replacement shirt in a hurry. Went to Marks and Spencer got a shirt, headed back for a few more meetings and then at 3ish made my way for my interview. It went well. Praise God!

Internet Hell

As previously posted, I kinda figured out why I haven't blogged for a while.

I have been stuck in Internet Hell! This is an unpublished post I wrote on Notepad back in Sept 2010 but never got published because it was unable to get the post out from my work computer literally.

==========Post start

Joy of all joys, I am back to work! Yippee! What’s more I am back to a large UK based company, with cavernous office and heaps of employee benefits. Far cry from my previous company. But all this comes at a price. Being an investment bank, the security is tight,……. very tight. Especially in the area of internet security. Thus the title, internet hell. It’s amazing how dependent I was on things like Yahoo Mail, Gmail, Facebook, Google Reader and Dropbox. All of which when navigated to is greeted with a “Restricted Access” page.

There is no wifi, so my only window into normalcy is via my trusty iPhone, though I have to contend with Singtel’s 3G network. Today I tried to visit the wife’s blog not to realize I can’t see any of the pictures! What the …….. Haizzz where’s that iPhone.

So what's changed? See the next line;-).
