You know you're in the Gulf too long when.....

From a co-worker. After five months, I'm going "yeah, and....."

You know you have lived in the Gulf too long when:

You're not surprised to see a goat in the passenger seat
You think the uncut version of "Little House on the Prairie" is provocative
You serve coffee in a thimble
You think everyone's first name is Al
You need a sweater when it's 80 degrees Fahrenheit

Meow I help you? - Hello Kitty becomes robot receptionist (CNN International)

"Need temporary help on your company's reception desk? One Japanese employment agency is suggesting you try recruiting a robot.

For just under 50,000 yen (U.S. $430) a month, a fraction of the cost of a human temp, the PeopleStaff agency will dispatch Hello Kitty Robo, a robotic receptionist capable of sensing a visitor's presence, greeting him or her and holding simple conversations."

The 10 questions I wish I could ask users

http://community.livejournal.com/techsupport/942757.html

"~So, for a little background...I work at a pretty major computer company and my boss is the sweetest, kindest man ever. Where 'sweetest, kindest' means 'Satan incarnate'. But in a good way. ;-)

~We were on the internal support chat and someone asked what the top ten questions we should ask a user about a certian product of ours when they call in with an issue. Several people chimmed in with 'That's on the website', 'Ask Matt', and sundry other mostly serious responses.


1. What did you do?
2. Please, what did you do?
3. Why won't you just tell me what you did?
4. I know you did something, what was it?
5. Do I really have to ask for your sysreports to tell you what you did?
6. I mean I know you did something, you know you did something, why won't you just tell me?
7. Do you really believe I won't find out what you did?
8. Are you just trying to drive me insane?
9. Do you realize if you had told me that in the beginning this would have been over weeks ago?
10. Where do you live?


~I'm going to crossstich it and put it up in my cube at work. :-D ~"

Recipe of the day

The winning recipe of Cynthia Coombs, age 10, Hormel's "SPAM National Kid Chef of the Year."

SPAM innovation best in the nation

" They tried a few different combinations, but ultimately decided on a breakfast corn dog, made with chunks of SPAM that have been dipped in an apple-cinnamon pancake batter. The sunnydogs are cooked until golden and dipped in maple syrup, applesauce or honey. "

Truth in Labeling???

Doggy doo appears on food label

A Wakefield man lost his appetite when he found "dog sh*t" listed among the ingredients on a packet of ham.

Mick Woods, 34, examined another of the 300g containers and saw the same 'additive' listed on the label.

And he admitted: "Obviously I haven't eaten it. It sort of puts you off."

His partner Tracey, 28, bought the £0,99 (about R10) packs of cooked, sliced ham from a store near their home."
