So how did all this start you ask? No… oh well we’ll tell you anyways…
We had a look at Lindsey’s most excellent blog “Random Thoughts of a Geordie Down Under” and thought, we could do one of these… it was on Bratwurst Friday, which is a long standing half-arsed tradition (of 2 weeks). We were contemplating the dilemma of whether sauerkraut, cheese AND onions were just too much – y’know it might overflow from the bun and cause unnecessary mess on the shirt, or just reduce the volume of sauerkraut and therefore not be worth the extra 40c. So as you can see the big issues still get discussed down here. This made us think that maybe we could put these ramblings in a blog, because obviously people out there need to know the answers to these important issues, with a half arsed slant of course. We referred this to the blog queen (the aforementioned Lindsey) who said that sounded like an excellent idea. (This of course smacks of ‘you read my blog, I’ll read yours’ but hey, there’s nothing wrong with that! Hint: Lins we have linked to your blog).
Half arsed?? Well if anything is worth doing it’s worth doing half arsed, we figure there are 3 ways of doing things; the right way, the wrong way, and the half arsed way.
DISCLAIMER: The half arsed methodology is only applied to issues and projects of a personal nature - the right way always takes precedence at work.
The theme has been chosen! There was a tequila snapshot one but it looked crap - however it was named tequila snapshot which caused a bit of stir. Anyway after 3 meetings and some QA the tictac blue theme has been chosen! No going back from that decision.
