A short one I promise

No more long rambly posts. Just short ones to keep me occupied while I wait for time to pass. So chop chop; point form.

1) Earlier my boss sent me Orwell's take on English language to show us how we can write better with less. I'm shocked at myself for not having read it before. I suppose any English major would have read it at some point in time. I am definitely guilty of writing that should be tossed out into the garbage bin. But better late than never.

2) My colleague, one of the more interesting people in the office, resigned yesterday. Not entirely unexpected but certainly sobering.

3) Civilisation 4! For people who know why there is an exclamation mark, jolly well. For those who don't, skip this point altogether.

4) Sour coffee sucks. I had sour coffee the whole day because the damn canteen uncle wouldn't change the large canister of kopi.
