Two Words: Weebls Stuff
This site has some of the most catchy, fun cartoon music videos i have ever seen, from titles like Narwhals to the adventures of Magical Trevor, one could easily waste about an hour a day of time.
Narwhals!

Happy Earth Day, Water Cooler posse! I can’t ignore my hippie-tendencies today, so I’m formally calling for all Merlot Team Members to abandon their dependency on plastic bags. Invest in some environmentally-friendly alternatives. Pick up four or five and take them with you to the store, on shopping trips, or even put your lunch in them and bring them to the office. You’d be surprised how incredibly convenient they are!
If not for me… do it for the turtles.
In the coming months I will be bringing you, our readers, interesting little things online that are designed to waste time. I think we all have too much free time and the internet is a remarkable place to waste some of it. So keep your eyes peeled for parts 1 through 101 of my new blog series!
Dear Cadbury,
Hi, how are you? I’m fine. Hey, guess what? This weekend, I polished off two four-packs of Cadbury Cream Eggs. And not just because it was Easter on Sunday. No, I ate them all because they were there. Yeah, I know, I’m pretty impressive.
Anyway, my lack of self-control got me thinking: If you finally acquiesced to my demand for year-round access to creamy fondant goodness, that would give someone like me (read: someone with excellent taste in candy) the potential to consume 104 boxes of Cadbury Cream Eggs in a 12-month period. That’s an increase of approximately 650% from the current potential that exists today. And by “current potential,” I am referring to the fact that - let’s face it - you’re a little stingy with the output.
Think of it. If you expanded to 12-months of Cadbury Cream Egg circulation, you could potentially increase your profits by 650% in the U.S. alone! And while we’re on the subject of expansion, thanks for the nugget of effort around the holidays with the Holiday Ornament Cream Egg. Well played and much appreciated. I do just want to take this time to reiterate the point I’ve been making since I was a child: the Cadbury Cream Egg is a candy for ALL seasons. Stocking stuffers, Easter baskets, Flag Day BBQs, back-to-school treats, “Congratulations, it’s Wednesday” celebrations… Do you see what I’m getting at here? We’re talking total confectionery dominance and mass, sweeping marketplace awareness.
I look forward to a day when the Cadbury Cream Egg is a part of my everyday life. Until then, I eagerly await next spring.

Okay, so, I have to share an embarrasing moment so the ENTIRE office can be in on my most humiliating Merlot moment yet! On the way back from picking up lunch (a glorious combination of Tom Kha soup and white rice from Bangkok Thai) I slipped and fell on the oh-so shiny lobby tile! WOW, nothing humbles you quicker than feeling like the little kid on the playground everyone’s looking at in shock, awe and with incredible sympathy! And, to make it even more painful, in formal Merlot style (which I appreciate greatly!), I had to complete a formal injury report…better safe than sorry I guess! 
So, a word to the wise…when returning from lunch with incredible excitement over the flavorful tastes you’re about to enjoy 1. walk slow in your four-inch heels 2. pick up your feet and 3. just don’t fall!
