Today I spent ages preparing a pie chart for college. And when I say “ages” I mean ages. I followed the text book, but at times it said ‘Ask Excel Help’ – if I tell you that the instructions take up pages 139-181 you will have some idea of how complicated this can be. It was boring and frustrating, and it wasn’t helped by the fact that my husband is trying to put on a new door for our wet room right next door. Lunch tasted all the better when both jobs were done.
No one could call me a clock watcher, but I seem to be surrounded by clocks, they are everywhere: one on the computer screen, another on the microwave, and the stove, as well as a wall clock, and one which is very decorative, but which is only correct twice a day as it stopped working long ago. All this in only one room. Even our new washing machine has a clock so that you can set it ahead in order to make use of cheaper night time electricity.
A logo (from the Greek λογότυπος = logotipos) is a graphic element, symbol, or icon of a trademark or brand.
A unique logo is often necessary to avoid confusion in the marketplace among clients, suppliers, users, affiliates, and the general public. Once a logo is designed, one of the most effective means for protecting it is through registration as a trademark, so that no unauthorised third parties can use it, or interfere with the owner's use of it.
When you're sitting on a train or on a 'plane, or eating on your own in a restaurant, you can't help but look at the people around you. I think humans are innately social beings rather than solitary. You can only glance at them for a second otherwise people start to shift in their seats, because they feel that you are starting to invade their personal space. How often have you imagined what people are like just from that brief observation? If I am bored on a long journey I will often do this. We may use certain clues to help us in this quest, what they are wearing for example, and I have blogged on this before.
The assignment that your boss gave you several days ago still isn't done. The assignment is a report that your boss needs to take to an important meeting, and you may get a big promotion if the meeting goes OK. You've had plenty of time to get it done, but still just don't do it even though your future career could be in jeopardy. What's wrong with you?

It's not uncommon to find that as businesses grow they have a tendency to lose sight of the very things that made them who they are.
