I came back home today to find the most disgusting advert hanging on my door… a fucking tampon box! I am not even sure its tampon, could be adult diapers since they are so huge. I mean come on this is just fucking disgusting. Imagine coming home and finding a box of Always hanging from your door. If it was some unknown brand I would understand their desperation but Always doing this?!?! So I can’t view porn privately at home but its somehow ok for companies to hang tampons on my door. Fucking gross.

Aramex are having problems with shipping out stuff in New York, below is an email from Aramex:
We have received a message from JFK that we are facing some problems with Customs Department as they are currently refusing to let HIGH VALUE shipments out due to some reasons which we are trying to work on with them, therefore we are keeping all shipments of high value In transit until the problem with customs is already solved and then we will update shipments on the system. I apologize for the delay although it’s not from our side but I will keep you posted with the progress of the case. Thank you again for your patience and best regards
I don’t know if I should be happy about this but my test results say I am neither, I am normal.

Since I started working 4 years ago I noticed something that was common wherever I went. When an employee leaves a company, whatever was left behind by that employee suddenly becomes up for grabs. I have witnessed many people leave and I have become an expert at grabbing stuff thats left behind. For example, an employee left our agency for good 30 minutes ago and the first thing I did was takeover his Mac speakers. The speakers are Logitech and are pretty cool, it has a remote control, 2 satellite speakers and 1 sub woofer. I feel guilty for taking them but if I didn’t someone else would. Once you takeover the big stuff you then have other little stuff like staplers, paper clips, highlight pens, keyboard and mice, notebooks, markers, magazines and tons more stuff now all available freely to be taken by anyone in the office. Its heartless and brutal but its fun. Employees become locusts taking everything leaving nothing behind. Now even while I am writing this someone is swapping his chair with the one of the ex employee and people are searching through the drawers…
This is a really cool software called coconutBattery and I can’t wait to use it on Nat’s PowerBook once I get home. This software gives you a whole bunch of details about the laptops battery including how much charge it originally held and how much it holds now. Nat’s battery is pretty messed up, in OS X it says her battery would last for 26 more hours when in reallity its more like 26 minutes. [Link]
A few days ago I noticed that every time I copy pasted a url from my Google search results it added some new google gibrish to the url. So I did a bit of research on this and it turns out google has a new option where it tracks your searches for you. To disable this you need to go to google.com and on the top right hand corner click on Search History and then on Pause. [Link]
Finally, there is a new option in Gmail where you can change your “From:” email address. Click on Settings then Accounts.
Just another Aramex related post. I just got an email from Aramex telling me that mail arrived to my US mailbox. I guess this is also a new service since it never did that before. This is the email I received:
