When Conference Calls are In Real-Life

How appropriate, I was just from a 3-hour conference call.

I'm sure when the question "Who likes attending conference calls?" is asked that only four kinds of people would be likely to raise their hands.  One, the company's CxO level employees, because more or less they own the company and that it is also the perfect time to rub in their x270 salary gap with the rest of the employees.  Secondly, the middle management guys because it's the perfect time to rub elbows with the big guys upstairs hoping to be part of their elite circle someday.  Third, the slacker type employees who excel in finding excuses not to do his job (we all know of at least one).  Lastly, the weirdo who likes to breath heavily into the phone and gets his kicks listening to people's voices.

When Game of Thrones Women are Disney Princesses

Look at this stuff, isn't it neat?

Yes, it is neat indeed.  Well, Game of Thrones is in the air, come April and I could finally begin living in Westeros again.  I've actually stopped reading the books coz I no longer want to ruin the experience by nitpicking on details that were omitted and/or changed.  Just like the Red Wedding, for those who have not read the book, that was a real shocker, but for those of us who have.. to me at least, such event has been eclipsed by details, details.

Keep going to see who's who in the Disney Princesses.

Mummified Pizza, Anyone?

           Visit [thriftyjinxy.com] for the mummy pizza recipe.

It's the perfect pizza for the uniformed men.  

At least that's what the scientists in the U.S. Army Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center are aiming for in perfecting this soldier's food.  Get this, this pizza would last without refrigeration, not days, not weeks, not months, but years.  Years. 

How's that possible?  Read on.
