The weather yesterday was really awful for me I'd say. I went out and stepped back in. Apparently the lowest temperature of the day was -11°C and the highest was -6°C. But then I managed to get out again. I felt like a body of a block of ice, especially my shoes, my face, most of all my ears. And the strong winds even made it much worster. Feels like those freeze sprays and the sounds of the winds were like the noises aeroplanes make when they pass by. I'm not sure about today's weather. I hope it's fine.
Well yesterday morning, which was still evening for the citizens of the United States. President-elect Barack Obama nominated Bill Richardson for commerce secretary. What also happened during this nomination is that the President-elect also put out some humour on Richardson's beard.
More cool stuff.. Teddy Bears Blast Off To Space :D
On Thursday, 4 December 2008, 4 teddy bears were blasted off to space by university boffins. These teddy bears were attached to a helium balloon and launched 30,000-metres into the atmosphere from Churchill College in Cambridge. They were fitted out with space suits designed by schoolchildren from the city as the toys braved freezing temperatures.
Two of the four teddies that were blasted to the edge of space Friday Humour :D
Idiots At Work - Chronicles Of Workplace Stupidity PAAART 2!
JUST LET ME ASK YOU A FEW QUESTIONS FIRST
Businesses are only as good as the people they hire. We've all come across people in stores, on the phone or in offices and wondered to ourselves "How did they get hired?" Well, sometimes there's not a lot out there to choose from. A questionnaire was sent out to Vice Presidents and personnel directors of the one hundred largest corporations asking them to describe their most unusual experience interviewing prospective employees. Here are some of their responses:
* A job applicant challenged the interviewer to an arm wrestle.
* Interviewee wore a Walkman, explaining that she could listen to the interviewer and the music at the same time.
* Candidate announced she hadn't had lunch and proceeded to eat a hamburger and French fries in the interviewers office.
* Candidate said he never finished high school because he was kidnapped and kept in a closet in Mexico.
* Applicant interrupted interview to phone her therapist for advice on how to answer specific interview questions.
RESUME OR RESUME NOT
In keeping with the "How did they get hired" question posed earlier, Fortune Magazine (July 21, 1997) put out an article which listed items from real resumes and cover letters. Here are some highlights:
* "I have lurnt Word Perfect 6.0 computor and spreasheet progroms. "
* "Wholly responsible for two (2) failed financial institutions."
* "It's best for employers that I not work with people."
* "Let's meet, so you can 'ooh' and 'aah' over my experience."
* "I have an excellent track record, although I am not a horse. "
* "My goal is to be a meteorologist. But since I possess no training in meteorology, I suppose I should try stock brokerage. "
* "The company made me a scapegoat, just like my three previous employers. "
* "References: none. I've left a path of destruction behind me. "
LET'S SEE WHAT DEVELOPS
A female employee of Eastman Kodak is suing the company under the Americans With Disabilities Act. The woman claims she suffers from "seasonal affective disorder," a form of depression, and wants Kodak to provide more light where she works - in a photographic darkroom.
QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS
We've all heard the expression "there's no such thing as a stupid question" right? Well, see for yourself. Here are some of the answers from a questionnaire sent out to a number of employers asking, "What's the strangest question they've been asked during an interview? "
Among the responses were:
* "What is it that you people do at this company?"
* "Why aren't you in a more interesting business?"
* "Will the company move my rock collection from California to Maryland? "
* "Does your company have a policy regarding concealed weapons?"
