Feeding of the Masses

OK so once again I’ve been put in charge of food and this time it’s the church camp.  And this time round I am seriously getting stressed out as there’s approximately 80 people to feed for 3 days  and 2 meals each day!!  I’ve had to organise people to cook and that was an effort in itself as not everybody is going to camp… and those that are cooking don’t want to cook for more than 30 people, so that means finding more people to cook the same stuff!  Admittedly this has given me a couple of sleepless nights….  Now the organisation of the food is done, I have to buy the fresh vegetables, refreshments, etc to feed the people…. and my constant worry of is it enough food lingers at the back of my mind!!

How did Jesus feed the 5000 people and STILL have leftovers?

The Office

The office is growing with more people coming in to work on projects.  Some time ago I posted about the office idiot…. now there’s more idiots like him around….  So now these 2 office idiots have to work together so I’ve nicknamed them Dumb & Dumber – so the original office idiot is Dumb and the newbie is Dumber….  So what has Dumber done to earn this nickname?

He walked into the office one day and I said are you here to see Dumb?  And Dumber said no I’m here to see you.  So I said erh… yeah ok what do you want.  And he said to me that he had emailed me several emails for me to print out colour brochures for him…. So I said I never got them and asked what email address has he sent to.  The email address he told me he had sent to was my boss’s email address…. So I said that it wasnt my email address and it’s the boss’s email address and incidentally the boss was in Singapore for a couple of days…. Then dumber said oh but I was told to just send it over here and you’ll print it out…. so I thought you’ll receive it when I send it to that email address…

It then took me a further 5 minutes to explain to dumber that when the boss says send it over, it means to send to me and he’ll need my email address to send do and not to the boss’s.  Dumber couldn’t understand that  he thought it’s like a house address send to one email address and everyone gets it!!   To make matters worse, Dumber did not know that photocopiers had the capacity to photocopy both sides of a paper…  I can foresee my tolerance isn’t going to last very long with Dumb & Dumber :S

Real Life Law & Order

It’s been news in Oz for the last couple of days… this little girl nicknamed Pumpkin was found in a train station in Melbourne – a security camera caught her and a man walking hand in hand in the train station and then the man was seen leaving the train station alone and the girl left in the train station.  Turns out that she was left there by her father and then the father has done a runner to the US.  Also they’re not even Aussies but from NZ!!  So now we have 3 countries searching for this elusive father and now it also maybe that Pumpkin’s mother is also MIA.

Can you imagine this on an episode on Law & Order either Criminal Intent or Special Victims Unit?  HHmmmm they might do a cross over episode…

Anyway, I do feel sorry for this little girl.  Imagine the stigma that she has to grow up knowing that she was dumped.  And she’s 3 years old.  She would be aware of what is going on more so than if a baby was dumped.

On the brighter side of things, these people are from China and they all have hanyu pinyin names and it’s absolutely hilarious hearing their names pronounced here by the news readers who can’t quite pronounce hanyu pinyin…  it’s like a tongue twister…

For more news on this little girl, just google ‘pumpkin, lost child’ and you’ll get heaps of news articles
