Found this neuroscience article on why women and girls like the coplor pink, and men and boys like the color blue, interestingly under the title: boadicea!

Got anything for an Italian, an Argentinian, an ethnic Indian, an Aussie, and a Chinese guy? That's our new batch - the pc police will get me if I mention any of that, too.

People are scurrying around like ants. I think I should close my door and turn out the light until I have to go over there. Seeyas!


Oh! That helps! :D Be right back!

I'm a bit dubious about this one, Chuck:

SAVE OUR KOALAS!
...
As part of the initiative, cute black Koala noses will be available for purchase from Australian Geographic Stores and also the Foundation website.
...

How are the koalas going to smell?

Ah, Chuck, you did all that work and I was already gone. :( Sorry, but thanks!! ! :)

When it was time for me to give my "talk" I welcomed them, gave my job title, and explained my "official" duties and the resources I could provide for them.

Then I told them I controlled their paychecks and promotions files, and that my favorite was dark chocolate, 75% pure or more.

I had their complete attentions, and I do believe they'll remember my name. :wink:

Mingling wasn't too bad. I basically nodded a lot and then snuck out early. Nobody noticed. I think.

Probably as bad as they always have.
