Goodbye my friend

Today I said goodbye to an amazing individual.

Her Christian faith she wore proudly and she was always more concerned about others than herself.

She has run her race and is now singing with our Lord.

We are richer for having known and loved you.

Heading to the dentist

I think waiting to do something, you don't want to do, time definitely slows down.

I have an hour to wait before my dentist appointment and I think I have looked at the clock every 5 minutes.

You build the whole thing up in your mind to monstrous proportions and even knowing exactly what the dentist is going to do doesn't make this waiting any easier.

All I can be assured of is, in roughly 2hrs time, I will be poorer, sorer and a numb face.

Easter Bunny

I do love doing surprise things around the office.

Today, being the last work day before the Easter break I bought a large bag of Easter eggs, and put one egg on each persons keyboard.

It is always surprising the response you get to doing a 'randome act of kindness'

The reactions, when I'm caught in the act, is sufficient thanks.

If you wear rabbit ears in a busy mall, if you act normally ....no one will take any notice of you.

I tested this theory out today at lunch time and only one person noticed, and I do work with her.  I believe her comment was 'What the heck...ooOOOOo it's you" as she realised it was me wearing the bunny ears.

Absolute power

Mmmmmm power...

We were having an event at work where I was asked to 'meet and greet' people as they arrived.  Sounds simple!

The guys that were suppose to do the parking were late, so the gate key was handed to me...ohh the power!

There was maybe a situation were I waited for someone to get out of the car, walk over to me to ask to open the gate before I opened the gate.  On asking me why I didn't just open the gate I said

"I wanted you to come over and ask me"

It was at this point one of the managers at work suggested that the power was going to my head ...  I think he was right.

My boss gave me a quote from the Furry Logic book by Jane Seabrook

Power corrupts, absolute power is kinda neat!

Ohhhhh Yeaahhhhhhhh

Life throwing curve balls

Today I logged onto the news site to see a story about a young man that died expectantly of a cancer.

The face looked familiar but the story said he was an actor and so I thought I recognized him from TV.

Reading the story it started to dawn on me, I knew this person.  I went to Uni with him.

He was dux of our year getting first class honours.

What a curve ball life has thrown me today.

Rainy Saturdays

I love rainy days, they force us to relax and take it easy.

Today has been the wettest day in April and I have to say looking at my book on the bed and the cup of coffee on my bedside table, I can't say I am minding too much at all.

Not to mention the new Harry Potter movie all set to go.

So long as there are not too many...

Afraid of your own shadow

I can't believe it happened to me.

Walking calmly down the road to just after sunset.  I notice this long shadow in my peripheral vision.  Of course the natural response for any chicken is to ....walk faster.  The shadow was keeping up with me.

It's about now your heart beat starts to get faster and you want to look around but think if I do and there is someone large, dreadlocks and mean looking just behind me what will I do.

Then you realise you can't hear any foot steps behind you.  Brave now, you turn around to find no one.  

It's your own shadow and you groan inwardly for being such a doofus and scared by your own shadow.
