Productivity

As any good slave driver/middle manager knows, the productivity of your organ grinders is important for producing figures on graphs that point up. Being your average fork-and-spoon operator, my productivity fluctuates throughout the day.

Let's take today for an example. The Y-axis shows Productivity and the X-axis (ooh, double X!) shows the time of the day.



A - Morning coffee - A caffeine burst is neccessary to kick off the day. I usually stick with a healthier green tea, but it was one of those mornings.

B - Football 365 - Nice to have a quick little break to see what Adiaga, Badiaga, Aruglia and Pizzoza are up to.

C - In 'The Zone' - The caffeine is at its most potent, I've got rock blaring into my ears and the work is getting done.

D - Going for walkies - After a while of sitting down the old pins seem to have a life of their own and drag the rest of me with them. They seem to want to annoy other people who are trying to do work by kicking the height adjuster on peoples seats- with hilarious consequences.

E - Lunch - Pasta stroganoff, Tropicana and The Selfish Gene.

F - Feeling a bit gassy - Must have been that bean I ate.

G - Solving F - No explanation required.

H - ???? - What could this sudden lull be?

Well, it just so happens that as I was about to go for my afternoon push to steam through a big pile of barcoding, there was a consultant hanging around in our part of the office. Not the oddest phenomenon by any strech of the imagination, but this guy looked exactly.. and I mean EXACTLY... *exactly*... Exaaactly (with tented fingers)... like...



EDWARD! Don't worry Tubbs, they won't get far! So I ended up spending about an hour bringing up images, swivelling the monitor to show others and silently motioning to Edward.

If it wasn't for the Edward incident I would have averaged about 60% productivity, instead I had to settle for something closer to 45%.

Still, more productive than most days!

Judas, it's your Mum here. Look, I can lend you something if you're a bit tight for silver coins, just don't go doing anything stupid.
Oedipus



If you see your mother, give her my love.



Dad

Whilst listening to K-Rock at work (as I frequently do when not Xfm-ing it up) I heard that song Emerge by Fischerspooner. What a tune that was! I think I heard it around 2002, man, was that really half a decade ago?!

Anyway, here it is..

He said he wants to see my points!

Can't believe how crap the formatting has come out for this post, can't figure out where the html screwed up for the post it notes :/

What did the chorus say to Creon after Oedipus gouged out his eyes?

Now there's a face only a mother could love!
