kybearfuzzJust a fun thing for today for those interested. Post something fun or interesting from your workspace. Show me what you've done to personalize the place you spend eight (or more) hours a day.
Here's mine. Years ago, a friend of mine in Kansas bought me a can of "Monty Python's Chocolate Dead Parrots" as a gift. Both of us being Python fans, she saw it in a shop and knew I'd enjoy it. After the candy was gone, I couldn't bear to throw the can away so it became a pencil/pen/marker holder on my desk.
It often garners odd glances from folks and I use it to teach new hires about food labeling and imported foods (it was an imported food from England).
In other daily stuff, I got in late today as the cable guy had to come check out my digital receiver box. I've been getting no sound for days on my HDTV and no DVR. The receiver box was a replacement from earlier in the week when I exchanged it to hopefully correct the problem. The new box had no hard drive in it, something he couldn't explain but stated that is why the DVR wasn't working. The HDTV sound issue is a problem with the HDMI ports on my TV though, not the box. So, time to break out the TV warranty and see what's happening there. And no, the cable guy wasn't a bear. They all work for the local A/C companies apparently.
