So today we learnt how to drive your colleagues crazy by becoming a health fanatic.
Other words for colleague we discussed are "work mate" "office mate" "fellow worker" "co-worker".
We also learnt about the demise of the annoying paper clip in Microsoft products.
A new word that cropped up was Tamagotchi. Just as annoying as the Microsoft paper clip, Tamagotchis are handheld digital pets, created in 1996 by Aki Maita and sold by Bandai. Basically a small egg-shaped computer with three buttons (A, B, and C), which allow the user to select and perform a selection of activities, including:
Feeding it a piece of food or a snack to keep it alive. Playing games with it to make it lose weight and stay healthy. Checking its age, discipline, hunger, weight, happiness and other statistics. And, believe it or not, cleaning up its waste.
