Now that I’m back at my Mac, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 is a brilliant way to drown out the loud chatterboxes who have coffee together every day at exactly 3:00 pm near my desk.
We just had an evacuation test at work; I think that it’s the first time in years that some people in my building have seen sunshine.
It is most amusing to watch two budgies trying to eat the tassels of a rug.
I have to say: it’s pretty hilarious to arrive at work in the morning and hear another employee cranking and singing Teenage Dream by Katy Perry around the office car park.
I have never seen anyone who acts like this when wearing headphones.

This Micro Monday, say hi to @baldur, who posts interesting articles that range from culture to tech. 🙂

Natasha brought this surprise home for me today! The grip on the bottom is particularly amusing. I’ve never had copyright information on my soles before.

Paco and Coco were a little bit scared of the massive storm, so we brought them inside to eat corn in bed.
I couldn’t help but post this photo. You’re looking at the room-number sign from the hotel where I stayed earlier this week. Readability was obviously paramount.
This hotel in Brisbane feels like a family resort in the early 1990s (at best). It was built and then never touched again.
