Woot!
Highest score (513) ever with three bingos.
I'm an artist, a dreamer, a die hard optimistic and a slug. I like to sketch and paint, read fiction and non-fiction alike, bake and write and sometimes just be lazy.
New technologies and software fascinate me.
This is the cake I made for pre-Valentine Day Scrabble play. My first foray into decorative icing using sugar sheets. Took about 15 minutes to draw the template, revise and cut! Not too shabby eh :)
Late last year I moved into a new place with three roomies and two of them are adorable dogs (they don't share rent but do help keep the kitchen floor clean).
Bentley is a little old fashioned and always wear black and white while Mowgly goes with a workspace khakhi look.
[ Delayed New Year's Post ]
Last year was a year of change - of shifting focus, energy and direction. And this year is going to be an extension of just that and some more.
I think each year should be a landmark in life like - the year you graduated, or got your first job, or got married. And the easiest way to do that would be by introducing new things in your life - pursuing a new hobby, traveling to a new place, finishing up pending projects.
This year, I plan to learn a new computer platform, hike grand canyon and improve my scrabble skills which already are on steroids ;)
...those are the two types of people in tech companies and of course there are "others", who are caught in between. Access whores want and get access to all the applications including the one to order refrigerator cleaning in break room (if there is any such access). They aren't a nuisance compared to the access hogs. It's the access hogs who would stop by at your desk and request you order "horse tranquilizer" for them as they don't have access. Sometimes they would send an email with seven people in cc requesting you to "punch them in face" since they don't have access and project's success is absolutely contingent on it. Why access hogs don't request access for themselves? Well because they don't want to take superfluous responsibilities of ordering stuff for other people. It might lower their efficiency and they don't require that access that often...so why should they.
As sung by Christy's Minstrels.
Air - "Limerick Races"One of the boys am I,
That always am in clover;
With spirits light and high,
'Tis well I'm known all over.
I am always to be found,
A singing in my glory;
With your smiling faces round,
'Tis then I'm hunkey dorey.
The page goes on to explain the plight of etymologists.
Not long afterward, in October 1866, the US magazine The Galaxy, seemed unclear why the phrase was used, which also indicates that it wasn't very long in the tooth at that date:
"I cannot conceive on any theory of etymology that I ever studied why anything that is 'hunkee doree', or 'hefty' or 'kindy dusty' should be so admirable."
