While checking emails at work this morning, I stumbled across a most intriguing sight - the longest 'working group' name I ever remember seeing in all my history of checking out funny working group names and even funnier acronyms. This group's name actually had enough words in it to form an acronym longer than most words!
The group was calling on email readers to give a small bit of their time to make some comments on a particular topic of interest - however, my colleague worried that it might take all that requested time just to get through reading the group's name, leaving no time whatsoever for comments at the end!
P.S. Happy New Year.

I swug this (new version of "I got this")
Hello again,
It isn't far off the end of 2016, and so we're getting in just in time with a post for the year. There isn't much of interest to say, except we always get a kick out of popping back to this blog and checking out the sheer madness of years past, captured in wacky blog posts for all the world to see.
We just hope there is no global disaster that ends up killing the interwebs, and therefore our wonderful blog of stupidity.
This time I have a new Facetious Fesaurus addition to report:
And here is the last photo we took of the whiteboard prior to it being wiped (the most recent time):
Since this most recent wipeage, we have actually encountered the most extraordinary word in an unknown language in one of our metadata records, and our interpretation of its definition (to be added to the Fesaurus after this post is published):

- past tense of swig when you can't be bothered using extra letters to write "swigged" - "I swug that coffee."

- TNANAGETNENT: a tangerine on a tangent at Plantagenent .... O.O huh??
In closing, may we just say... "Happy New Year and Merry 'All That Stuff'!"

A new year...a new office space...and a new whiteboard!
It's that time again - the time when we clear off our wondrous whiteboard full of groovy things and start afresh. Fitting, really, since we're now in our new office space after spending endless weeks in what we called "library camp". The ants are gone, we have running water and we're seated within sight of a window... Yes, fresh air is the name of our game, and if it wasn't ridiculously stinkin' hot (I hate summer) we'd actually be enjoying some of it.
Anyway, the white board needs cleaning off, but some things will remain, for e.g. our time-map for each day:
Anyway, the white board needs cleaning off, but some things will remain, for e.g. our time-map for each day:
- 8am - 9am - Breakfast
- 9am - 10am - Brorning Tea
- 10am - 11am - Morning Tea
- 11am - 12pm - Munch
- 12pm - 2pm - Lunch
- 2pm - 5pm - Postmunchitis
Possibly everything else will go, though we might actually keep the lists of items of work we're meant to be doing... I dunno.
Did I mention that Mo-faux Monday occurs every Monday?
