Dear Die-ary...

Heh. The title of this post is linked to a StrongBad email - Death Metal. It's probably my favorite SB email... watch it NOW!!

So, what, today at work, everything went as normal. Just, sitting at a computer, working on the What the Hell movie behind my 'coworkers'' backs. But wait!! A change? Is this possible?? Today I managed to mount my printouts onto card!! GAAAAAAAASP!! And no, it's not just sticking them onto card. It's not that simple. First... You have to measure up the printout to the card. Then, but a layer of sheet underneath, which will act like glue. Then, some sticky laminated-like paper goes on top. Next, it goes on some sort of vacuum. And when it comes to cutting it all... you could easily chop yer fingers off! I'm surprised I wasn't supervised... Oh well.

I was presented with more work after this. Dominic (coworker thing) wanted me to scan some images in. Of c.1914 pictures. Yet he was happy that I could smash the pictures up a bit, and rip them and... Heh. So, I scanned these in, and I thought that was all. I was... so wrong. After lunch, as this all happened before lunch, he asked me to make all the pictures orange on photoshop. What's the deal with that?? So, I did as he asked anyway. But I'm still pondering why he wanted them orange... I must not question a graphic designer.

Another thing, I heard of an amazing... thing. I don't know how to describe it. Basically, you text a question, any question, to 63336. (Costs £1, british audience.) And they can answer it for you, no matter WHAT question it is. I've asked a few, myself. Wasted £5... but it was sorta worth it. The company's called AQA - Any Questions Answered. Here's some of the best results I got from them:

(Me) Why is pink associated with girls?
(AQA) Before 1918, the colour gender association was reversed. It is only since the 1960's that girls have been more linked with the femininity of pink.

Wasn't that educational? They also answer random questions.

(Me) What is a good name for a spontaneously-combusting rabbit?
(AQA) Good names for a spontaneously-combusting rabbit include Hoppit, Burner, Banger, Bucky, Thumper, Pop, Smokey, Sparkey, and Charles.

(Me) If we all worshipped a giant potato, what would society be like?
(AQA) There would be many differences. The eating of chips or crisps would be sacrilege, spud guns would be outlawed, and the Potato's prayer would be common.

I love AQA now. Even if their prices are pretty high.

Also, we did find that memory stick; it was embedded in between the carseats. (YAAAAAAAAY!!) And so now, I've pretty much reached the end of the What the Hell movie. So, expect an URL for it soon!!
