I haven’t fallen for that many April Fool’s Day pranks today. Either that, or I have, and I’m none the wiser. But, no. I know that I haven’t. I have been way too alert to fall for such things as…
- Liverpool Football Club purchasing the Fiddlers Ferry Power Station, with the intention of flattening it and building their new super stadium on the site. Not being into football, I don’t know what the repercussions would be of Liverpool FC moving out of Liverpool, apart from them having to change their name, and possibly build a whole new team, and maybe design a new kit. Maybe also get a new management team, but apart from that they’d be exactly the same team.
- A dinosaur being discovered alive, and living in the sewers and drains of the towns of Cheshire. I mean to say, how can anything live in that kind of environment and not be spotted until now?
- The Bank Holiday for the forthcoming Royal Wedding being re-classified as a Public Holiday. Therefore banks have to operate as normal, and due to the financial burden imposed by an extra day off on many companies around the UK at present, many firms are cancelling the holiday completely, causing instant ill-feeling among royalists and people who don’t like working alike. I rolled my eyes at this one as I saw through it after the first ten minutes of reading the brief memo in work.
- Google Mail providing a novel way of sending and replying to email, without the need to use a keyboard or a mouse. New technology recognises body actions through the webcam, and certain actions replace the clicks to send, reply and save emails. Having to make the shape of the letter may be difficult on typing the message, especially if there are Qs, Ws and Bs involved. Not that I thought for an instant about this, of course.
- My WordPress stats for today appearing to have been multiplied ten-fold. I knew instantly that wasn’t true, because any large increase like that would actually be by the thousands… I did wonder what had gone on there though, but only for the briefest of seconds. I’m well ahead of the game, and wouldn’t really notice any increase in my stats under normal circumstances anyway. <sob>
- Being sent to the post room in work for a long weight for the boardroom. I don’t actually know why they needed a long weight in the boardroom, as it wasn’t being used today anyway, and they didn’t have any when they eventually got back to me. Why they had to send me, I didn’t know… I was far too busy to hang about for forty minutes. I was told later in the day that it was an April Fool’s joke. I pretended to get it, so the joke was really on them. I don’t fall for anything, me.
I’m up way too early to be sucked in to these things.
On to other things, I have been really busy in work today. Non-stop in fact. The time has literally flown by, and before I knew it, it was home time once again. I only had a short break for lunch today, but in that time I managed to create my first animated banner for this blog. I’m very impressed with it — and the classical music that fits with the movements so perfectly. I couldn’t wait until tonight to publish it to my blog, so it’s there already. The music is quite quiet, so you may have to switch the volume up slightly. It does take a while for the animation to start though, and I’m sorry about that. I didn’t have time to work on the timing.
I like productive Fridays. They help me to feel good!
