So here goes - "The Office Dummies Guide to Fruit Flies", also know as "People shouldn't have to be told this stuff". After all, there might be a fly epidemic coming soon. (and if there is, you first heard it here folks):

"Lately, fruit flies are found in our office. They have made their way to the meeting rooms. It has been annoying with them flying around while the meetings are in progress. Fruit flies are also found at your desk when you left your fruits uneaten over a few days.


Fruit flies are found on leftover local bananas and grapes. These fruit flies feed and breed on overripe and fermenting fruits. Fruit flies can reproduce anywhere there is fermenting organic matter that stays consistently wet or moist. These flies develop from larvae, and fruit flies larva must have moist, fermenting matter in order to survive.

To eliminate the flies, local bananas will not be ordered and left over grapes will be cleared from fruit basket after 2 days. Staff are encouraged not to leave fruits on their desks over 2 days. Staff are responsible to clear away the fruits from their desks before going on leave or dispose overripe fruits from their desks.


Each of us has a duty for keep away flies from breeding in our office, including cockroaches. Keep food in containers with tight-fitting lids. Please do not allow food to be remained on the desks overnight, you are inviting insects to feed on them. Store and keep food away before you leave the office...but you need to cultivate good habit to keep the insects away."

Really. People shouldn't have to be told this.

No can be superhero without snazzy outfit

Yes, Yes..Its HEAL THE WORLD Mondays again, where i point out bright ideas on how we can save this ole planet we hop up and down on, also better explained as  "pearls of wisdom from the workplace that people spout to show they care." People from my workplace.  Now you know why i'm the smartest pea in this pod.

The Question:

What is your contribution to environmental conservation?

The earth-shattering reply:

I try not to be "a slave to fashion". Don’t you think that is one of the ways to save our environment?

Yes, now discuss.

The philosophy of food..and smell

The story of the Curry Puff which was brought to be eaten but forgotten at the bottom of the bag..about what happens when your not as neat and tidy as your mother, who lives in another country and so cannot clean your house for you.. and the philosophical learnings from this highly scented event:

Mom:  What happened about the curry puff

Ms. Clean: It was smashed and molten like lava ...which has lost the will to be hot

Mom: yuck

Ms. Clean: heehee

Mom: i wasnt smelling
Ms. Clean: how can you smell ?
Mom: What?
Ms. Clean: You're so far away..how can you smell?
Mom: it*. I meant It wasnt smelling?
Ms. Clean: Oh.  Oh well, I dunno. I had not washed the dishes also, so there were a lot of smells and it was hard to distinguish which smell was which
Mom: sheeeeeeeeeeeee (which for the uneducated, is a milder version of YUCK)
I hope u opened that new air freshner thing.
Ms. Clean: Why? Smell is good for the soul. It reminds you that your nose is still working
Mom: Nevermind

I think she's given up on me. I don't understand why

Education

Student: What about sex?

Economics professor: What about it?

Student: Well, it's something that probably never has a diminishing marginal utility.

Economics professor: You wish. (class laughs) Plus, for most of us in this room, sex isn't usually a market transaction.

These are mostly from the office place, but don't let that make you think we're a bunch of dorks who know nothing and are doing nothing...we survived the financial crisis didn't we? Aaaand we have many online Solitaire experts who practice their skills day in and day out...Sigh..what was i saying again...aaah yes..

A: I have a plant on my office desk!

Ironing out our environmental problems..one dress at a time

Another HEAL THE WORLD Monday sagely advice snippet. This one is something i follow too...

Q: What is your contribution to environmental conservation?

A: When I wash my clothes I try not to wrinkle them too much so when they get dry there’s no need for me to iron them. This way, I am able to conserve electricity.

 

...Although in my case, its more a case of laziness.

Q:What is your contribution to environmental conservation?
A: I don't smoke =)




Well, smoking does cause pollution. So not smoking must mean environmental conservation.
There go my brownie points.

The World this Week

Happening week this one was (or not)

Lemme see what i can remember:

Watched 3 new movies the past week

I really liked Terminator Salvation, which i completely did not expect to do. And might i just add that Sam Worthington aka Marcus Wright is really really really good looking. Lil Sis and me both agreed, for once.

The movie, although a lot of it was predictable, it was still good - despite Christian Bale's weird deep throat voice. It kinda maybe worked in Batman, (seeing as he was Batman and all) but doesn't work in every movie. Really. It doesn't.

Also watched the new Star Trek. I'm not sure if was supposed to be as funny as i found it. Eric Bana - good. The rest - just funny. I guess i expected more from it.

Angels and Demons - Whoever it was who decided to redo Tom Hanks hairstyle - Thank you!!!

I actually enjoyed this movie- and not having to see the ridiculous hairstyle he sported in the Da Vinci code made it a whole lot easier.

Ewan McGregor had a accent i can really get used to. Although, if he's been at the Vatican so long, you'd think the accent would go away a bit no?

I read the book ages ago, and couldnt remember how it ended. Think i'll read it again, i only remember that i liked it then.

I'm finally done with Charles and Keith shoes - and the straw that broke this camels back came when i bloody slipped and fell because the damn slippers had no purchase even on rough ground.

And then to give a good start to the week to come, i woke up yesterday morning and thought it was Sunday and was really really pissed off that my alarm rang. Had to stare at the damn phone for a whole minute to make sure it really did say Monday and wasn't playing games on me.

Not good. Not good at all.

Then my pao friend RR (this would make sense if you were Goan, but we'll save that for another wasted & mindless posting) added his two bit of Monday morning wisdom and in his strange but not-at-all fascinating me also gave me what he calls a compliment:

RR: You're perfectly demented in the right amounts already

There are right and wrong amounts, you ask? well, i did ask too, unfortunately.

RR: yeah - Wrong amounts are when women nag. Right amounts is when we can have a conversation about how screwed up it is to name your child Sheldon*

So there!! I am now officially demented in the right amounts.

And to complete this lovely posting, i'll just say how might happy i am go now get back to work and my 327 EMAILS MORE TO GO...Its a real pain when you let the work pile up and then do a count on the number of email you still have to read. Steven, if you're reading this posting, i DO NOT want to hear how you are on holiday for the next 2 weeks while I'm here counting down the end of days.

* I'm not entirely sure about the wisdom of sharing this, but it has something to do with the fact that Sheldon is not a good sex name to have. Umm, no, you don't really want to know. Maybe another day i'll share why screaming 'Ride me Sheldon' qualifies as a comedy show and a turn off and almost any other name would sound better. To all the Sheldons i know, really Sorry. No offense

What I came back with when I went out to get food

Heal the world....

This is why i love working where i work. Enterprising colleagues who make monday mornings so much more entertaining.

Storm in a Teacup: The story of the spineless Biscuits that hit rock bottom

One hour and twenty three minutes of the workday today were spent trying to accomplish a task called 'having breakfast' where i unsuccessfully tried to dip a biscuit in my cup of tea and put it into my mouth before the biscuit could succumb to the heat from the tea and soften and promptly fall into the tea cup.
Having spent atleast 20 years of my existence doing this task on a regular basis fairly easily, i find myself ashamed that from the 7 biscuits i attempted to eat, only 2 were managed the way they're supposed to be and the rest went to meet the tea leaves at the bottom of the swirling cup of tea.

I had more biscuit that tea in the tea cup.

And that will be always what can only be described as a faint mockery of a society that allows the existence of biscuits that cannot hold their own against hot tea.
