April Fools.

Today started out slow. Bewildered, I read about Google's name change to Topeka. I thought it was a darkly sarcastic bit of fun until I realized it was april first. http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/04/different-kind-of-company-name.html

So, I tricked Simin, an intern here. Ecstatic! I happily gushed that I been offered a permanent paid position with the BBC but I wasn't sure if I should take it (this imaginary position started in a week). That is her ideal dream job. I helped her apply two days ago. As she curled up in on herself, fists clenched and fake smile plastered on her pale face....I realised. Wow! She actually believes me. I gave her a hug and said...Happy April Fools! But she didn't get it. In shock I presume....

That then led to a few failed conspiracies in an attempt to trick our boss. It is now after lunch. I have gorged myself on a subway sub. And I am waiting for a decision on what to do next. Wish me luck messers...and beware. Here I come!!!

  1. Hi Sabá - great to see you have a blog - got here via Facebook. I like the April Fool's joke and there's one in the Irish Times I linked to Facebook about a new German beer called Fucking Hell after the German town of Fucking and Hell they say is German for Ale!!! http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/frontpage/2010/0401/1224267477657.html?via=mr
    Quite good but I love your one. How do I subscribe to follow your blog? You can add a follow widget which makes following easy and notifications in Blogger are made to other bloggers when they sign in . I have a blog too so you can backtrack it by clicking on my name. I just had Tandy on a visit and we visited your mom - she was in Iringa with us all and her 3 girls were our lads' ages, so you would have been there too. (Fiona, Tania and Naomi). We had a great chat with your mom - all well here and Sofia is sooooo cute!
    Love and hugs, Catherine xxxx

  2. Hello Catherine! It was your blog that inspired me to attempt one or at least to start writing to it more regularly. It is easier than sending individual emails to everyone. I hope that this will allow people who are interested to know what is going on until such time as I can sit down and write long emails to them individually. IT also allows me to think through things and get feedback :)

    My mom told me about Tandy and your visit. I remember Fiona, Tania and Naomi...we bought their bikes before we went to Arusha. My mom also told me how cute sofia is and sent me pictures. Give my love to everyone in Ireland. I added the follow widget. Love and hugs, Saba xoxox
