Top 10 most annoying office habits

Alternatively ask your boss to find some funds to hire a permanent on-site SWAT team armed with fumigation guns. Or just ask your colleague to bring something that doesn’t stink (or in the case of the chips require you to leave and buy some yourself). Ringtone hell If your office friend intermittently decided to play bits of his favourite music collection from a speaker on his desk you’d probably ask them to leave their taste for death-metal or American R&B at home. So why then is it OK to have Usher’s latest offering or a 50 Cent classic (is he called that because that’s how much most people would pay for one of his records?) playing six times a day – or 22 if it’s Friday. Space invaders You distinctly remember hearing the boss bring your new work mate over to his or her work area and say "This is your desk". The boss did not follow that up with the words "but feel free to use your colleague’s desk for overspill if there’s not enough room for your inane gossip magazines and pictures of your 17 children". Eau de underarm Deodorants were invented in the ’50s – which is a year not the age you have to be before you start using them… Alternatively ask your boss to find some funds to hire a permanent on-site SWAT team armed with fumigation guns.

Monsters stage a big comeback
NEWS.com.au – May 26, 2008
Wells created another in his novel The Island Of Doctor Moreau while Arthur Conan Doyle took the plot a step further in Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde in which a scientist creates a monster from within himself. But few scientific creations have been as odd or aroused such sympathy as Edward Scissorhands – the key character in the film of the same name directed by Tim Burton in 1990 and starring Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder. Edward Scissorhands was a Gothic fairytale about a boy who was left unfinished after the death of his creator and was equipped with metal scissors instead of hands. Edward Scissorhands lives in isolation until a kindly woman called Peg discovers him and invites him into her home. During his journey through life he discovers love friendship and compassion. The film was a modest success when first released but has since become something of a cult favourite. Now the dance version of Edward Scissorhands first staged nearly 15 years after the film was released is about to begin a season in Sydney… Eight years later Bourne began putting elements of the stage show together. He received permission from Burton and Caroline Thompson the film’s writer to adapt their work for the stage. The show’s music was written by Danny Elfman who wrote the original score for the film. Burton says the original film took its plot from horror classics such as The Phantom Of The Opera The Hunchback Of Notre Dame and the B-grade 1950s film The Creature From The Black Lagoon. It has also been compared with Frankenstein and Beauty And The Beast. All dealt with loneliness alienation and the agonising dilemma of being different. Edward Scissorhands embodies the hope and despair of those earlier fictional characters.
Masons experience revival
News & Observer – May 26, 2008
Clark Gable (1901-1960)The mustachioed Mason set the bar for cinema savoir-faire in the films “It Happened One Night” and “Gone With the Wind” where his Rhett Butler swagger set the bar for generations of men. Frankly we do give a damn. Louis Armstrong (1901-1971)A Prince Hall Mason (the affiliation designated for blacks) the jazz trumpeter and singer known as Satchmo had an unmistakable music style and ranks among the classiest entertainers of all time — and he pulled off a black bow tie like nobody else. President Ford (1913-2006)The 38th U. president and most recent Freemason to occupy the Oval Office paved the way for political pretty boys everywhere when during his younger days as a male model he appeared in the pages of Cosmopolitan magazine… The reasons seem clear. In another Masonic Hall in the Los Angeles area a Sri Lankan-born banker a sunglasses-wearing Russian immigrant and a continent-hopping Frenchman break bread poke at their salads and chat about their health. “For a time it looked as if Masonry was going into a sharp decline if not the death throes” said University of California Los Angeles history professor Margaret C. Jacob who has written extensively about the fraternal order. “But it looks like it may be making a comeback. “That’s because the Freemasons whose tenets forbid soliciting or recruiting members have enthusiastically embraced the Internet as a way to leverage curiosity about an organization with its roots in Europe’s medieval stonemasons guilds. Freemasonry today sees itself as a thinking man’s salon a learned society with a philanthropic bent.
