10 Crimes of The Work Place

After reading an article on the Top 10 Crimes of Work Fashion I decided to list my own Top 10 Crimes of the Workplace.

1. Wearing the Same Three Shirts Over and Over Again.
Get a wardrobe. When you wear the same three t-shirts that you got for free at a club one night over and over again you look tacky. Seriously. Spend some money on decent clothes and look like you are trying at least.

2. Dressing Like a Grubby Bastard.
OK, this may be repeating my first statement but unless you pick up trash for a living you should wear decent clothes.

3. Answering the Phone Like You Are At Home
If your job is to answer phones all day then you need to answer them like you are glad the customer called. Don't pick up the phone with an attitude that you are being inconvenienced by the caller and give them a mopey voice. The customer doesnt like it and you sound like an asshole.

Apparently, there is a lot more to fireworks than just lighting the wick and watching them explode. There is a lot of science behind them to help make such a dazzling display.

I am officially addicted to PSP. No, its not a drug. It's my Playstation Portable. I originally purchased it so i can use the web browser to test my website (http://www.happyhourhotspots.com) on wireless devices. I had no idea that i would get addicted to all the puzzle games and card games on the damn thing.

OK, SONY isn't evil, but they are pretty damn close to being evil. They have me hooked on a new drug of theirs called PSP. I am not really a gamer, but i have all the systems at home. Until now though, i never really played any games. Along comes the PSP. A great gaming system that I can take with me anywhere i go with graphics that blow away all other systems and also a web browser. What better than that? Watching UMD movies or playing Sudoku while waiting in line at the bank... I love this damn system and suggest that everyone goes out and buys one ASAP..
