Hark, where are thou keys?

I was talking to my mothra (mum) last night and she had recently found an email I had sent back in August 2005. If I remember correctly I sent this to my boss because I was late and I couldn't find my car keys.

I’ve been looking for half an hour, to the point I’ve looked into the shower.
I’ve searched high and low, left and right. In a bank of snow, with and without light.
I’ve looked far and wide, deep and shallow. Under my feet and, under my pillow.
So if you see my keys then let me know. A reward you will see, to work I will go.
To ease my thoughts and waste my time. I had a coffee and wrote this rhyme.

I think it took a few days to find my keys. They had fallen down the back of one our La-Z Boy chairs and had gotten caught in the internal framework. This meant that they couldn't be found by putting your hand down the side of the chair, nor could they be seen by lifting the chair off the ground. Fun!

Have a good weekend!

The value of hyphens

It is the contract renewal time of the year for me. I have a little tip for you. If you intend to extend your contract, make sure you use words like extend or renew. While wording up an email regarding my conditions of an extension I found I was about to resign... or was it re-sign?

Life Tip #1 - Birthday Candles

When you a placing birthday candles on a cake, make sure that you put them the right way up. The base of a candle, once lit, burns faster and more brightly than the wick-end of the candle.

This achieves a number of things:

• The candles burn much faster - you need to belt out "Happy Birthday" just a bit quicker
  
• The cake looks a lot more exciting covered in flame - always good unless it's ice cream cake
  
• The cake gets covered in wax - never good
  

I wish I had photos from the birthday cake I witnessed on the weekend. Classic.

Additional:
I looked up Happy Birthday on Wikipedia and did not expect the copyright issues around the song to be so ridiculous. Still the words come out of copyright at the end of this year. Woo!

I saw this ad on Facebook. I wonder if the extra income I could be earning is related to editing advertising material for grammatical errors.
