Jack vs. Henry

Posted in Colleagues, Entertainment, Kak, Life, Plonkers, Televison, WTF on October 30, 2007 | 7 Comments »

He: Hey… The Tudors are starting on Mnet tonight in place of 24.
Me: So I’ve heard. Could be interesting to watch.
He: I dunno. Action vs drama. Jack Bauer tortured and killed at least 7 people per episode. Henry VIII only killed his 6 wives.
Me: That is actually not true. [...]

The goodbye guy

Posted in Kak, Life, Office, Tongue-in-cheek on October 26, 2007 | 7 Comments »

I’ve had an extremely frustrating week. Monday began on a really bad note, but it helped me get through the rest of the week. Who knew misplaced anger could be so therapeutic?
As my last work day (next Wednesday) draws near, I’m starting to get exceedingly irritated. For once the days don’t seem to move. It [...]

The title and the picture has nothing to do with the content of the post, but I just could not help myself. So there! Bite me, Kev and Mr R Rabbit!
I was notified by the IT department this morning to clean up my e-mail account as I’ve exceeded my storage limit. Gah! (Wonder if this [...]

Green and gold

Green and gold fever has reached fever-pitch in South Africa. Yep, RWC- Ebola has reached epidemic proportions and it is near impossible not to be assaulted by wave after wave of unrelenting mass hysteria. The RWC 2007 final is here and you can try and run, but you won’t be able to hide from it.

Money, money, money… must be funny…

I resigned from my job today (again… hehe). One of the companies I interviewed for a couple of weeks back came through with an offer that was too good to pass up. I start my new job on the 1st of November.
When I handed my boss my letter of resignation, he questioned my decision to [...]

The cryptic office conversation

He (serious): Are you all set for this afternoon’s big meeting? I don’t have to tell you just how important it is that we pull this off.
Me (matter of fact): I think you just did.
He: I did what?
Me: Told me.
He (clearly lost or pretending to be): Are we talking about the [...]

Fish in a barrel

Posted in Arb, Food, Life, Plonkers, Sarcasm, WTF, Weekend on October 8, 2007 | 8 Comments »

Being the miserable sod that I am, I am quite happy to bring someone down to my misery level, especially when that person is primary the source of my woes.
Question: Why is it that when you want to have a quiet and serious conversation with one of your friends, your waiter is the quirkiest person [...]

Too much?

Posted in Conversations, Gossip, Kak, Life, People, Ponderings, Rants, Relationships on October 2, 2007 | 13 Comments »

One thing that I find uncomfortable and that annoys the shit out of me is when a woman (or a man for that matter) tries so hard to prove that she is an independent woman that she forgets to relax and just be herself.
I am all for “girl power” or whatever you may want to [...]

Overheard this conversation between the gf, [S] and one of her friends.
Friend: I like everything about this guy. Pity, I don’t stand a chance with him.
[S]: Of course you do. You are being too hard on yourself.
Friend: The only reason a guy like him would go out with a girl like me is [...]
