office-boy nose-leafed

What does the title mean? Easy - it's today's winner is the stupidest spam email subject line. And there was a tight race today! Seriously, I thought our compnay had some kind of spam filter, yet I get upwards of 50 spam emails every day. I don't need to "increase my manhood" - I don't even have "manhood"! Nor am I interested in your stock tips, pharmaceuticals, rolex watches or other crap you think I am stupid enough to buy from some unsolicited email! I mean, really, who beleives this stuff? Are there really people sending their personal information to the Fifth Third National Bank because they have detected a problem with your account? Who can't remember which bank they have accounts with?
Enough ranting about email idiots. I actually love email - spend a fair bit of time with it all day -mostly work related, some personal, and far too much time deleting spam - which I have to check before deleting since it seems our so-called spam filter at the office likes to delete emails from some of our major customers and suppliers. Nice.
But, it's the weekned, and one that is so very, very needed. Time spent with family and friends. I've finished another hat - for one hockey playing nephew, and hope to get some socks done and some more hats at least started. Who knew? Hats seem to be the gift of choice this year.

And as a side note - there is the outside chance that I will be outed to my family (at least a part of it) as a blogger in the next little while. My Aunt (the one who came down to stay with my Mom for a week after surgery) lives in Ottawa and was inspired to think about knitting again after seeing mine. I told her about Stephanie's talk at Yarn Forward, and it seems the store is only a few minutes away from her house, so she called for a seat, and was planning on going last night. If she got to meet Steph, she would have brought up our familial connection and if Steph posts about it, well my Aunt Deny is computer savvy enough to find this here blog. The one thing in my favour? My Aunt may be too shy to meet Steph, so I may be safe for a while yet...
