Via Les I took the “Which Ancient Language Are You Test” and my results were:


Your Score: Older Futhark

Language of the Norse, Older Futhark

Language of the Norse, Older Futhark! Thirty symbols, all told. And no hardier, more warrior-like tongue has ever graced the longships of the Viki or left the Celts and Saxons in such quivering fear. There’s only one drawback, that being you died 800 years ago.

Via RJ Carpenter is the Self Importance Test. It said I was:

Chris Pirillo

You are most like Chris Pirillo!

 

You are most like Chris Pirillo. You dominate your brand and do quite well in marketing it.
However, you go out of the way to place the focus on other people as much as possible as a decision on power and authority.

I used to work for a company where the majority of the senior staff all had laptops. And they all had docking stations with a monitor, keyboard and mouse (as they didn’t like using the laptop keyboard as it was “too small”).

When senior management noticed that staff were leaving the laptops on their desks over night (posing a possible security risks), I had to then source and install suitable locks to make sure the laptops couldn’t be moved from the desks.

Could someone please explain to me the reason these staff members were given £1,500+ worth of laptops when a simple desktop unit could have sufficed at half the cost?

Just had a customer that stated “I haven’t paid for my account for 6 months – why has it been suspended?”

I wonder if YOU can guess whether it was because:
a) The account hadn’t been paid for for 6 months
b) The account hadn’t been paid for for 6 months
c) The world exploded
