I occasionally come into work with glasses off, and don't put them on until I sit down to do 'serious work', whatever that is. This morning, I did the same. Had breakfast, did a little job checking, poured myself a cup of barley water, and sat down to start the day.
'Holy crap, that's sweet!' was the first thing that came out of my mouth after a taste of the barley water. I checked th 1 liter bottle for the ingredients list. Sure, fructose syrup was second on the list, but it was second to water, and it still seemed awfully sweet... so I put my glasses on and checked out the nutritional info. Servings per container: 22... 22? For a 1 Liter bottle? I flipped it over and read the front again. Robinsons Lemon Barley Water. Concentrated Lemon Drink.
CONCENTRATE. I had been drinking straight concentrate. No wonder it was $6.00 per bottle. A couple of glasses of water later, and the taste is much easier to deal with. It's nice, but I think I'll get the orange flavor next time, instead of the lemon.
Wallpaper.
I've been making calendar wallpaper for myself for the last few months, sort of as a hobby and sort of as an exercise with the Gimp image program. Plus it's useful to have it here at work. So here's this month's:
And because I didn't post it, the last two-month calendar I did for the new year:
Feel free to enjoy. The art is from Deviantart.com. The calendar bit is created in MS Excel. Paste it together in Gimp on a black (or whatever color) 1280x1024 background, and you've got a calendar. Easy. If someone asks, I'll post step by step instructions sometime.
Enjoy.
