Finally, something to actually post about! Well, don't get too excited just yet, it's only a small novelty toy after all... This (via Engadget) is a must get for all office dictators out there. I've seen it in action and man, can this boy cause some bemused looks on people's faces. I still don't have one myself but it's only a matter of time this will become an irreplaceable asset in my armoury. Beware, all of you!
On the more down to earth kinda way, it's been hectic in the office. I've been tasked with more things than ever before which has made me wonder if somebody from the office is actually reading this blog (hope not...). Somehow it's all been ok, as I do prefer to do something instead trying to kill time.
My new bosses (a large mobile phone operator) took us to an 'evening of recognition and rewards' a couple of weeks ago. It was your typical day: early start, business breakfast mingling with all the people you've never met before, then moving on to the infamous ice-breaker (luckily, they did not use any fat penguins) and yet another business lunch. All good so far but hey, where's the catch? I'd call it a mild case of brainwashing, to be careful. Everything and everyone was so bloody happy working for this multinational that it made me feel sick and no, it was not the free food and alcohol on offer, but the entire 'one happy family' thing. To conclude, a good day out of the office with all expenses paid with a nice overt agenda of turning us all into well-oiled machine making gazillions of cash.
So, there is all I have to say for today. I hope to be back shortly and all the other useal disclaimers and cliches. Enjoy your Christmas parties for you know that it's going to be the only 'free' thing you'll be getting from your employer.
So long

I think that your gadget looks boring, who cares about shooting others? The thing has only three rockets. How fun must that be? I think that paper balls, and other silly desk material are cheaper and do the job.
Sorry, this time you didn't amuse me mister Nygard. And yet, I am sure that such was not your intention.
So long, indeed.
I think there is definitely potential in these usb-missiles. Just imagine setting up your gear and preparing for a launch outside the White House… Terror alert would go straight up to dark purple, and we could all live happily in fear again.
[By the way, CIA guys, if you are reading this you should know that I’m just joking, I won’t even consider doing that. Please don’t take me into one of those secret prison camps in Romania (which don’t exist, of course, wink, wink).]
