I don't really like the smell of printing ink but *sniffs the two copies of Big Fat Report she just printed* ummmmm~ this smells like success!

Unni arrived first thing this morning because she got severely delayed at the airport and by the time she got to UK there was no transport running. Liz woke up extra early so she went to get her while I lay in bed. XD I did hear them come in, and thought, "maybe I should get up and say hi since I'm not gonna get back to slee..............." *falls asleep* XD; But hey that means I came to work this morning nice and rested. And Unni is probably still sleeping atm.

Boss is all worked up about a presentation he has to make next month to various official bodies and an MP. I'm preparing the powerpoint for him. This makes no sense to me since how can you present a powerpoint someone else made? But whatever, he's always like that. Anyway, why so worked up? It's just an MP. Or maybe I'm the only one who goes *shrug* at people in high government. XD

Trying to cut down snacking at work by eating fruit. The problem is I don't want to eat fruit. Sigh.

Random of random:

Maya: You know, it's pretty weird to address people by family name. You could try to call him "Nick" outside the courts. :D

Edgeworth: .......... *face twists*

Maya: Maybe "Nick" is too difficult to start with? >_> Try saying "Phoenix"! :D

Edgeworth: .......... *face twists* >_<

Maya: Poor Mr.Edgeworth...

Wright: *wanders over* Hey, Miles, Maya! What are you talking about?

Edgeworth: *weeps into his lace cuffs*

Maya: *kicks Wright* You're horrible! Poor Mr.Edgeworth!

Wright: Ow, what's that for??? O_O

(Currently on Episode 2, Game 2. Phoenix is angsting so much for his loffer, the poor guy.)

you shouldn't have mentioned powerpoint!

[semishade (from livejournal.com)]

Because, speaking as an official, I have seen a LOT of powerpoint presentations over the years and these days am much more impressed by people who can just tell me in words what they're doing (and answer questions intelligently). Interesting graphics which enable you to "visualise" are a different ballgame but seldom seen - the best powerpoint I ever saw had a plain background, no text and 4 of those little status bar thingies that show how quickly you are connecting to the Internet. Each represented a different connection type (dial up, ISDN2, ADSL, broadband). The presenter told us which was which, launched them all simultaneously to connect a website - and then completely ignored them while he was talking. The dialup of course was still crawling across the screen when he finished. It was so effective I went straight home afterwards and looked for a broadband package to sign up to.

It's amazing how many people who are theoretically "shrug" about politicians are all over them like a rash in person. It's the fame/power thing.

It's quite different in my case. XD We are trying to "sell" the benefits of a scheme, so the presentation will mostly be consisted of maps and drawings. My boss wanted lots of words and I went >E at him and told him I'll include those in the notes that he'll be giving out on the day.

I haven't met any British politicians, so maybe it'll be a bit different. But because of my dad's work, I grew up eating dinner with HK politicians and they give me red pockets at Chinese New Year etc. Back when we owned a flat in London, some even stayed over when visiting England. XD; So to me they're really just quite normal people, with slightly unusual jobs.

Chinese politicians always look like civil servants to me but the people who are charismatic in person don't always appear that way on the screen. Many of the politicians I've worked with here have been more obviously larger-than-life personalities. It's a bit disconcerting when you get someone who is basically quite ordinary and not good at making speeches.

Mmm, starfruit are in season now? They're yummy~

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

I don't know if we get them over here easily. I normally just eat whatever free fruit there is at the office!

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

Yup! It goes:

1. Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney
2. Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney - Justice for All
3. Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations
4. Apollo Justice Ace Attorney

(I don't like game 4 nearly as much as the other three, but it's still fun.)
