Sometimes...

  • Sometimes giving up the comfy chair means your back is straighter.
  • `I can be assertive, if you'd like me too....'
  • `Equality is not in regarding different things similarly, equality is in regarding different things differently.' - Still Life with Woodpecker
  • Here are is one of a list of really, really good ideas for job applications. Good for a laugh out loud, good for the soul. Ties in with the accusation recently that I'm `what's gotta change with the Engineering department's culture', regarding positive discrimination. Whatta riot.
  • A description of 60 seconds in the life of commuters was that `I laughed so hard coffee came out of my nose'. Keep some tissues handy.
  • Jefferson Airplane is my new love. Well, one of.

These days.

Sometimes I wonder whether ironic events are a sign of God, but often enough they're provided by a lexicographer with a wicked sense of humour. For example, note the Oxford English Dictionary's`word of the day', on a day when Hillary didn't quite make it across the line. (Click on the picture below if it's hard to see..)


For all of our librarian friends out there, an in-joke for you:
" I Y 020.5 ".

And while you're at it, give Roy a quick lookie.

"Now with GPS!"
