When do we want it?

Big companies are not always up-to-date with the latest technologies--the company I work for is no exception.  But that's okay because I think that's pretty much the norm.  Anyway, I got an email notice the other day for an upcoming software installation to my computer:

Now, I love all things Google, but I had no idea what Google Chrome Frame was.  So like any other curious mind, I searched it up--with Google--and found this:

Winding down?  LoL.

*The original version of this meme used only browser logos - this one has Allie Brosh's cartoon cleaning self but doesn't acknowledge it.  Since I could only find this version of the meme, I will acknowledge her myself. :)

Quote of the moment

   "I think watermelon is the best tasting water there is."

From A to B

I've a crazy stressful 2 days at work.  I've been trying to do an internal launch of a new product that is joined to a contest to encourage employees to read and participate in this effort.  Translations were running behind, programming wasn't working out, I was trying to source a contact list to populate my contest with in order to invite participants but it was going to take longer than expected to extract this list, then the testing would run long, but we really wanted to launch this week, but all of the main subject area experts were away and then somehow some VPs got involved and it was all just crashing down on me.

And then, Gillian.

She called me because she had had to field some questions on my behalf.  She listened to my problem, she heard what I was trying to do, and then after gathering all of that information, she solved it for me as illustrated below:

Why didn't I think of that?

And then I took the solution back to my team and the response was the same: why didn't we think of that?

Today, I *heart* Gillian.  Thank you for thinking of that.

I shared my infographic with Gillian...she loved it. :)

Quotes of the moment

A perfect one to follow the previous girly quote...

From one other girl to another:

   "These are really juicy melons."
   "Are you saying you like my juicy melons?"
   "I am."

This long weekend, we had a BBQ which we ended off by playing Cards Against Humanity.  If you've ever played it, you'd understand.  It's like mad-libs for people who have no sense of decency. Anyway, we had a howling good time, especially considering the fact that it was some people's first time getting to know each other.  At the end of the game, two strangers-turned-new-friends said their goodbyes to part ways.

   "Hey, that was fun!  It was nice playing and getting to know you."
   "Yeah, same here. I'm sure we'll see each other again."
   "Yup - in hell."

Maybe you had to be there, or maybe you'd have had to have played the game...that was pretty slick.
