Decadence

My boss has started eating “luxury” yoghurts every day with his lunch. I suggested to him that it is a bourgeois dessert and consequently, he will be first against the wall when the revolution comes. He accepted this with aplomb, as any man eating creamy Lactobacillus bulgaricus would. I then suggested that Bush would eat luxury yoghurts, which caused him to put down his little plastic spoon and announce that such a suggestion was going too far.

I’m sure Bush would only eat luxury yoghurts when he had company and Laura made him so he didn’t look stupid in front of the Prime Minister of Norway or whatever: most the time he would prefer those Fruit Corner types with either sweets or a toy in the corner. He’d probably choke on the toy though.

A moment saved

I’m about to get a new work email address. It’ll be very similar to my current one just 10 characters shorter. Presuming the average word length is 5 letters, these characters equal a full 2 words and as I type around 50 words per minute, it means I will save 1.6r seconds when I type my new email address in the future.

As a pretty much completely random estimate, I reckon I type my email address about 10 times per working day for one reason or another so saving this 1.6r seconds each time, I’ll profit an extra 16.6r seconds per day. Multiply this over the year (20 working days a month, 12 months a year) and I’ll have a whopping 4000 seconds per year going spare. That’s somewhere around one hour and seven minutes to use as I please.

I’ll probably just waste it doing pointless calculations though.
