My colleagues were at a presentation by a big ad agency today.
One of their proposals was blogging. They apparently listed some women bloggers' sites as examples. Including mine.
They had no idea I worked for the very company they were pitching to.
A couple of my colleagues, however, pointed out that it was my blog.
All in all, it was a very interesting story. I guess I should be honoured (assuming the blogs they cited were supposed to be good examples).
I am not sure if these same ad people stayed over after their presentation, because they came in to meet another colleague and stood very near my cubicle ... in fact, one guy wandered into my cubicle while I was away, reading the geek comics I had stuck on my wall :-P
Anyway, by that time it was very late and I just wanted to finish my work and grab my dinner. So I didn't stick around to chat or introduce myself (what if they were from another agency - how malu).
i can only think of 3 words after reading the entry...
HUR HUR HUR

cool! what comics you into, van?
Hi Shaun,
The comics on my cubicle wall are mostly a mix of strips from OK-Cancel (usability)and Dilbert, and a couple of my own creations.
The strip that the agency guy was staring at,, was something a friend had emailed to me recently ... on how Santa Claus was outsourced to an IT support staff from Bangalore. That kind of wry geek humour.
I used to collect X-Men, Wolverine and Gambit comics, among others.

Good stuff! I'm so coming across as a comic book geek here, but you're a marvel fan! That universe's too convoluted for me to follow, so I'm a DC freak.
Would like to see your own creations if its available online. I can't draw for nuts, but I'd like to share my 'Twisted Toyfare Theatre' tribute. http://fortress.fotopic.net/c195282.html

yay this geek's got his own shabby excuse for a blog now!
I used to read more DC Comics when I was younger (Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Justice League...). I have the Death of Superman series. That's probably the last of the DC Comics I own.
okay, dilbert is good for health. i like dilbert - a good mix of what happens in my office everyday.
hurray!
