a note for first-timers

If it's your first time here and you're new to blogs, the first post you'll see is the most recent so that's where you should be ending, rather than starting. Otherwise, carry on...

Please, feel free to comment - you know you want to.

mini-blogs

What is it with this phenomenon on MSN of people using their online status as some sort of news ticker or bulletin service? It's odd.

Now, I wouldn't normally be on MSN during the working day (it was rightly banned in my previous job - I think I told you the story about that before) but it was actually requested that I use it during my current assignment as it makes collaboration easier... or something like that.

However, seeing as I am using it, it's come to my attention that people partake in the aforementioned practice - telling their life story to everyone on their contact list. 'Tis odd, is it not?

I mentioned this yesterday to Rich - he of Tenerife infamy - and he said he'd also noticed it and referred to them as "mini-blogs". With that, he set his status to "Must shite forthwith..." And, quite literally as I wrote that, he signed in and promptly changed his status to "Must perform a urination ceremony..."

Rich, I didn't realise being able to pee was a cause for celebration. Or is it that you have to do some sort of ritual sacrifice in order to coax the liquid from your bladder? The death of a chicken by choking? *ahem*
