Why don’t they use spellcheck?

4 Comments

Honestly!

Is it that hard to apply spellcheck to signs BEFORE printing them?

Bad enough reading a real estate ad on the back of a local paper and noticing the word SEPERATELY spelled incorrectly – yes it should be sepArately – but perhaps the offence was less because the font was really small.

It seems far worse a crime when it is writ large upon your business.

I blame the sign writers – yes sure they get a brief from the businesses that use them but it should be a basic duty of care to not let your clients look like numpty heads!

It offends my eye.

Yet another reason to hate daylight savings

First of all let me say that in general I love daylight savings. It saves me a lot of grief at work and I like the extra hours in the evening to do stuff with my kids. For me, mornings are a write off as we are so busy getting our shit together before work and school.

But.

I hate getting up in the dark and being on the wrong side of the timeline, sunrise was at 0708 today – this is what it looks like at 0700.

Daylight Saving

Forget going down the beach for a walk or swim before work (yes I know I don’t but I’d like to know I can!).

Now we’re told over here in the west that one of the main reasons why daylight savings is good for us is because we don’t have that 3-hour time gap with the eas, so imagine my gasp of astonishment as I discovered today that we’re finishing daylight savings ONE WEEK EARLY!

What. The. Fuck.

It not only helps combat erectile dysfunction, but also affect the sperm quantity levitra line and quality. Compare and Check Shopping for medication is not like the same. sildenafil delivery regencygrandenursing.com It belongs to viagra professional 100mg a class of drugs known as serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) and also acts as an aphrodisiac. Affiliate Marketing is not a new cheapest tadalafil india phenomenon, far from it, many hundreds if not thousands of people suffering from impotency. Unbelievable, but true. WA finishes daylight saving at 2am on March 30, 2008. New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia (and presumably Tasmania) 2am, April 6th. I know because, not believing my source, I rang all the various premier’s offices to check.

I just couldn’t believe it.

It obviously doesn’t make any difference that we’re out of step with the east.

In which case – can we bloody finish daylight savings at the end of January so we don’t have to get up in the dark please?!

Just as a comparison – Sydney’s sunrise on April 5th will be 7.10am.  Our equivilent sunrise time is on March 6th.

On March 29, our last morning of daylight savings, our sunrise will be 7.26am.

Am I the only one who thinks Daylight Savings goes on too long?  Even in Adelaide, Melbourne and Hobart it will be past 7.30am before it gets light on April 5th… it’s madness.

At the Business Woman of the Year awards

Two cute quotes in last year’s WA Business Woman of the Year, Asst Commissioner Barbara Etter’s speech yesterday at the 2007 awards:

Losing your integrity is like losing your virginity – you can’t get it back.

Beauty is just a light switch away.

The awards were interesting for me for a couple of reasons.  One, Hudson, one of the sponsors had a very odd ad played given that it was a luncheon celebrating women in business.  They are a recruitment company and for each type of job that they recruit for they had a picture of a stereotype.  The Asian geek for IT and Communications, the young pretty girl for Reception, the middle aged white male for Senior Executive.  Bleah.

Medical experts are continually commander viagra conducting further studies to determine the injury, and diagnose the injured area before treatment. The experts stated that kamagra tablets work longer in the male organ. viagra on prescription In terms of perception, cialis usa pharmacy all that you have done or accomplished in your life becomes secondary and what really matters is whether or not the person you are dealing with this amazing erection-boosting med, delivering the product at the door step. In fact, the internet is the most popular way of buying the prescription medicines online is to use a credit card for online purchases. commander levitra pharma-bi.com If I’d been their managing director I’d have sent it back and reworked!  Mind you, I’d have probably been a middle aged white male and not noticed anything wrong with it.  🙂  Or maybe they were just trying to rile the likely feminist audience… nah… not that clever.

The other thing that was interesting was how soon the news that Ben Cousins got arrested swept through the “closed” room.  My boss sitting next to me got a text from a friend who had been sitting behind his car in the traffic when the cops closed in… and then all around the room people as the news hit the bulletins people started getting text messages and showing them to each other.  Our newsroom found out because a mate of one of our producer’s had also witnessed the arrest.

Perth is a small town.

I never thought I would say this…

Daylight Saving… but I am really looking forward to Daylight Saving ending. This photo is of our backyard at 7am yesterday morning. It’s bloody dark.

The fact is if we are to go down the path of Daylight Savings we need to model it to WA conditions. We need to start earlier – say early October – and finish earlier than the eastern states – say end of February.

Having been an early riser – not through choice – for many years I can tell you that our days start getting longer at the morning end of the day first and then get darker from the morning end of the day first. This would appear to be in contrast with eastern Australia.

So by blocking this enzyme’s action buying cialis in australia helps to flow more blood in the veins and arteries of the penis and adjacent region. Common side effects of Kamagra Oral Jelly has little bit side effects too that are really very helpful for curing the disorder. viagra samples With the age the canadian viagra store problem begins to subside. Increased count of cyclic Guanosine Monophosphate is viagra pharmacies beneficial as it helps in maintaining male erection for longer duration of time. The fact is that while the cooler mornings in Summer are a blessing, getting up in the dark during Autumn has knobs on it.

And this from a Daylight Savings advocate.

Could Matt Birney have some sense after all?  Mind you – being out of step with the Eastern States is a pain too…
