How much to replace a bulb?

Date April 30, 2007

This is ammusing. The new energy saving bulbs could end up being more expensive than most people think. At least somebody found out the hard way anyway. Apparently the CFL bulbs that are being pushed (more like shoved) down our throats by companies like Walmart, and such, contain mercury. You know, [...]

Why do Bill and Theresa rock? Because they found me these, and sent them down from Connecticut. They’re very similar to Jaffa Cakes, and quite tasty. They’ll be receiving the real things in September when I get back…

Corporate Training…

I couldn’t but help laugh at this when I saw it yesterday. Especially after one of the QA team was trying to clean out a wireless keyboard he found on a different desk.
