Two working in the same office, one wanted some time off, but knew the wouldn’t allow him to take leave.

He decided to act crazy so the boss would tell him to take a off. He hung upside down from the ceiling so the other Trainee asks him “What are you doing’?”

Stage Lighting “Ah pretending to be ah so the boss will think ah crazy and give me time off for a few days”.

Just then de boss walks in. “What the you doing?”

“I am ah light bulb” the trainee says.

De boss then said, “Man you stress out. You need few days off to recover…go home and come back when you feel better.”

The other Trainee starts walking out the door too…

The boss asks him “Where the you think you’re going?”

The other Trainee replied “I ….I cant work in the dark.

08 Sep 08 Pinger

This free service has been around for a while, but there’s so much out there, that it’s impossible to keep up, and it’s inevitable that you miss some things along the way. is one of those.

What does it do?

First, go to http://pinger.com and sign up. Then you can start adding contacts. All you need to do is to add their name, their mobiel number, and perhaps their email address.

You get a number from pinger to call when you set the service up.  You call this number, say your , and speak your message. They get a giving them a number to call back on. They call back, listen to the message, and they can reply to you.

So, you say, what’s special about that? It sounds like voicemail. This is true, but there’s more.

You can ask for a text message to be sent back to you when your friend listens to their message, so you know they’ve received it.

You can also put your contacts into groups. Perhaps you meet up with a regular few friends on . You could add them to a group, and then send a message to the whole group at once. That’s one , one number to remember, and one message to speak.

If you’ve got bluetooth, you could set Pinger on a , and even drop a quick message when you’re in the car, to everyone you want to at once. It works too, when you want to message your friends to meet for , but you don’t want the to see you calling everyone on the phone to arrange it. One quick call, it’s done.

As yet, and I’ve only been playing around with it for a few hours – I can’t see any cons. I recommend you give it a try.
