Thought of the Day - Random

Most boring name for a car ever - The Isuzu Citation!

You have to wonder who was paid to come up with that and what sort of customers would want to buy it? I suppose it depends whether you take it to mean a citation as in a fine for littering or a citation as in an award for bravery ... Either way very random and not a great description for a car.

On a more work related note there are some things that i don't need to prepare for to do training (content, real-life examples etc) and some things i do (printed notes, exercises, water etc). So i should really write down a checklist of things i need to do prior to training so that i make sure i do them.

Thought of the Day - 1 + 1 = ?

Well after yesterdays drought today i have two:

Firstly is the lightbulb really the sign of innovation that it once was? Should we be idealising a 100 year old device that is so inefficient and rapidly becoming obsolete in the modern day? The question then becomes what should we replace it with; an fluorescent bulb? an LED? Something else?

Secondly my companies new motto is "1 + 1 = 3" as they are merging two SBU's, call me cynical but 1 + 1 rarely equals 2 in business and in most cases it is more like 1.5. So how can you improve the sum; take people out, co-locate sites, something else?

Thought of the Day - Almonds

First Thought of the Day, what an occasion ... just a shame i can't think of a good one to start off with.


Right well if i must have one it is this; almonds are bad, i appear to be allergic to them, may have to test again but prolly best not to eat them.
