  LITTLE OFFICE PRAYER
  Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change
  The courage to change the things I cannot accept,
  And the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people I had to kill today
  because they pissed me off
  And also, help me to be careful of the toes I step on today
  As they may be connected to the @r$e that I might have to kiss tomorrow.
  And help me to remember.......
  When I'm having a really bad day
  And it seems that people are trying to piss me off
  That it takes 42 muscles to frown,
  And only 4 to extend my fingers and tell them to F*CK OFF
  Amen.

Subject: What is Katie doing?
Date: Thu, 4 May 2000 10:24:37 +0930 (CST)

I can't take credit for this - it was discussed on The Panel last night.

On the Bardot album cover, what's up with Katie (the short-haired one)
and the dog? Looks a bit suss to me ...

Subject: Some URLs to check out when you have time
Date: Tue, 16 May 2000 09:51:43 +0930 (CST)

Here are some URLs that may be of interest :)

1. < http://www.skim.com/ >
Get a unique number, which is featured prominently on items of clothing
(that you buy), along with the web address.  Then wait for admirers to
email you.

2. < http://www.turbonium.com/ >
It's not a Nissan 300ZX, Nissan NX, Suburu Impreza, or Mitsubishi Colt.
But it is an interesting car website.  Note that it uses Java and Flash.

3. < http://www.howstuffworks.com/ >
Find out how various things work - eg mobile phones, car engines.

4. < http://www.microdata.com/cameo/default.htm >
Scary stuff.  From the website:
   How can you be sure that your e-mail system is being used the way it
   was intended? What are your employees saying in their e-mail? What are
   they spending their time reading? Are you taking steps to manage your
   e-mail content?

"The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always
 so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts."

eg:
  I can't come in to work today because I'll be stalking my
  previous boss, who fired me for not showing up for work. OK?

  If it is all the same to you I won't be coming in to work. The
  voices told me to clean all the guns today.

  I prefer to remain an enigma.
