LITTLE OFFICE PRAYER
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change
The courage to change the things I cannot accept,
And the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people I had to kill today
because they pissed me off
And also, help me to be careful of the toes I step on today
As they may be connected to the @r$e that I might have to kiss tomorrow.
And help me to remember.......
When I'm having a really bad day
And it seems that people are trying to piss me off
That it takes 42 muscles to frown,
And only 4 to extend my fingers and tell them to F*CK OFF
Amen.

I can't take credit for this - it was discussed on The Panel last night.
On the Bardot album cover, what's up with Katie (the short-haired one)
and the dog? Looks a bit suss to me ...

Date: Tue, 16 May 2000 09:51:43 +0930 (CST)
Here are some URLs that may be of interest :)
1. < http://www.skim.com/ >
Get a unique number, which is featured prominently on items of clothing
(that you buy), along with the web address. Then wait for admirers to
email you.
2. < http://www.turbonium.com/ >
It's not a Nissan 300ZX, Nissan NX, Suburu Impreza, or Mitsubishi Colt.
But it is an interesting car website. Note that it uses Java and Flash.
3. < http://www.howstuffworks.com/ >
Find out how various things work - eg mobile phones, car engines.
4. < http://www.microdata.com/cameo/default.htm >
Scary stuff. From the website:
How can you be sure that your e-mail system is being used the way it
was intended? What are your employees saying in their e-mail? What are
they spending their time reading? Are you taking steps to manage your
e-mail content?

eg:
I can't come in to work today because I'll be stalking my
previous boss, who fired me for not showing up for work. OK?
If it is all the same to you I won't be coming in to work. The
voices told me to clean all the guns today.
I prefer to remain an enigma.
