If it’s not procrastination, another thing I’m pretty good at is stopping chain mails. At office I’m the guy who googles the latest “forward this” emails, calls up supposed promotions etc etc to check out if it’s true. “Forwards” land in my inbox and die a quick death. That is by choice.
I’ve always found “tagging” in blogs to be the equivalent of chain mail (the email variety, not mithril) and have regarded them with the same level of suspicion. However, one doesn’t treat being tagged by Angel very lightly, so here goes:
The last time that I got involved in Nisadas was to upgrade to Wordpress 2.3 or something like that. The next thing I know, my next spam-deletion visit was met with the news that 2.5 was out and my spanking new upgrade was obsolete! Ah well, so there I went and upgraded…
To be honest, it’s nice. Nice to use Wordpress again and nice to be blogging again. Over the last few months, much has happened.
It’s going to be a helluva September…
Dhanuka pathirana has started things off with a bang - 277 runs off 72 balls,
The Twenty20 World Cup 2007 is starting soon in September, which means a lot more action on the cricketing front.

The cashiers, the salespersons etc - these are the frontline of an organisation - the operational people.

Technically, time is supposed to fly when you’re having fun. However, it also flies when you least want it to. The question that lingers most in my mind is whether the days really are shorter than when I was younger, or whether it’s just the change in perspectives. Most definitely time flies when you’ve been given a deadline and a ton of stuff to do.
Let us talk of things
of cabbages and kings;
Brassica, it shall be.
The cabbage
’tis a wonderful fruit
coloured
bright red.
It grows real slow
and hangs real low

One of the less appealing facets of regular travel out of Colombo can be the radio station that’s on. While this minor annoyance is generally avoided when the vehicle is your own, sharing an office transport leaves you with little alternative.
With a title like that and the words “Learn how your character flaws could give you some real advantages in the workplace.” right below, how could I possibly resist clicking on the link that would help me “Get the full 2006 Careers Guide, free“?
I just finished watching the greatest one day cricket match ever played.
I’m beyond words. The closest I can get would be: “abso-effin’-lutely incredible”. But even that doesn’t quite cut it.
