If you’ve seen the blog in recent months (what am I saying? The blog is only months old.) You may recall a post about George and Sid, the plastic Komodo Dragons adopted by Matt and Charlene. They’ve become somewhat of an internal mascot among the group. So, like all good things in this office, we’ve turned George and Sid into a competition. Here are the rules:

1.) Each Monday, George and Sid will be hidden around this office.

2.) The “hider” may NOT hide George and Sid in a drawer or cupboard. Furthermore, George and Sid should be somewhat visible in their hiding spot. How visible is “somewhat” visible? Well, that’s open for interpretation by the hider.

3.) George and Sid must be hidden together.

4.) If George and Sid (remember, hidden on Monday) are not found by the end of the day on Friday, the hider gets 10 points.

5.) However, if George and Sid are found during the week (or at least by EOD Friday), the finder gets the ten points. If two people find George and Sid at the same time, they can split the 10 points or battle it out in an arm wrestling competition.

6.) The finder will then hide George and Sid the next week. If George and Sid are not found by EOD Friday, then the hider can decide who hides George and Sid next.

Any questions?

Ok, so there are a few things that I am slightly superstitious about…nothing crazy like jana’s “left before right rule”, but I do have my quirks.

In this particular case, I AM VINDICATED!!!! It looks like there are a collection of people who think the world is going to end on December 21st 2012, based on the merging of the Mayan and Gregorian calendars.

A quick explanation in case you don’t have time to read the entire article. The Gregorian calendar (the one we use) is designed to be a repeating calendar. We start January 1st, go all the way through to December 31st and then repeat. The Mayan calendar was a 5126 year long calendar that ENDS. Do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars. The calendar just ends.

There is a lot of interesting things that happen on that date. The article lists them all, but there is one that they are not aware of that all of you might want to know about, THE PARTY AT MY HOUSE!!!!! So as the world burns and the Mayan calendar ends I have just one question. Who’s bringing the guacamole?
