Tell me something new and exciting...

So each day at around 4.30, my brain shuts down for the day, only to be reactivated by Facebook or Blogspot. Quite often I'm known to spin around in my chair and shout at random passers by "tell me something new and exciting!"

Over the past few weeks this has turned into something of a competition with daily recognition for 'best individual team member contribution' and also a weekly nomination for 'outstandingly exciting new information'.

It's often a mixed bag. Solly Pombo, the fabulous English accented Spanish 'chick' I'm lucky enough to sit next to (hey I ain't moved to the US yet - chick is totally acceptable here -didn't I say I was stuck in a 50's time-warp?), has entered the following over the last week or so:
  1. I'm going to see Miss Saigon - OK, it was new in that I didn't know, but I told her 'nil points' - with Eurovision accent - for exciting. Miss Saigon should be consigned to it's tragic 20th Century past.
  2. Hed Kandi is coming to Australia - New AND exciting - she won that day.
  3. I'm having my eyeballs lasered - New, exciting and kinda kookilly intriguing on the process front - she would have won except Silvia beat her to it that night with her only entry...

Which was..?

  • I'm going Sky Diving. Silvia is often out of the office explaining her lack of entries, however she won that day and has yet to be beaten in the overall contest which runs until I leave in August.

Current second place for the overall prize of 'most new and exciting individual ever' is held by Yudit, my boss. She is having her mid-back-length hair chopped Edward Scissorhands stylee on Friday with a shrug and a "I'm bored, do what you like Mr Hairdresser" attitude. I like her new and exciting style.

But hey, I wanna open this up to the masses for the possibility of a 'viewers prize'. Simply tell me something New AND Exciting for your chance to win the title of 'New and Exciting Outsider'. Send you answers to the comments board on a stamped addressed envelope.
