Stop it, you'll go blind...

At work today I was sent a "workstation assesment questionaire" to complete as part of a new drive on health and safety issues.

Before I was allowed to answer any of the questions, I had to read an online "training" manual which gave advice on correct posture, ways to avoid eyestrain, etc.

One part of the document relating to this helpfully stated: "please remember to blink regularly"


I'm glad that they told me this as my eyes were beginning to get very dry and hurt a lot…

I've just noticed that the link included in my last post has shifted everything in the sidebar down to the bottom of the page...

Now how do I sort that one out???

E Square - The best English language school in Japan!

Hello!

Just a quick post to let you know that the links on the right hand side now open in a new window.

(thanks Phil for showing me how it's done!)

By the way, if you are looking for the best English language school not just in Japan, but the entire known (and unknown) Universe then head over to:

Or you'll probably regret it for the rest of your life...

Smells Like Old Age Desperation.

In the run up to Christmas (which in the UK seems to start earlier and earlier each year) you begin to see a lot of TV advertisments for all manner of strange compilation CDs.

One of the most bizarre adverts shown recently is for a CD entitled 'Rock Swings' by Paul Anka (most famous for writing the words to Frank Sinatra's My Way)

This is a collection of 80's/90's pop/rock hits done in a swing style.

A few of the tracks are quite obvious choices for this kind of treatment (Lionel Richies' Hello and Spandau Ballets' True) but most bizarre is the cover of Nirvanas' Smells Like Teen Spirit.

Now where did I put those ear plugs?

Move along please, nothing to see here...

I think it must be that time of year...

I'm having the same trouble as Phil. I just can't think of anything of interest to write about at the moment.

If anything Earth shatteringly exciting does happen (win the lottery, stop an alien invasion single-handedly using only kitchen utensils, finish some artwork etc) then I'll let you know...

Until then, I think it's time for more tea...

:D
