This was at Comic Con and I don’t know what it is
Greetings Goblins!

Morning all
Went to Gibson’s yesterday and had a milkshake. Had a hard time choosing one though.
And…? What did you end up choosing?
Haven’t been there in years. Really want to go again. I’m partial to a honeycomb flavour these days. The Creamery is an ice cream parlour that has a fantastic honeycomb crunch ice cream. We do a once a month treat at Village Square in Durbanville - my son only does vanilla and it’s his favourite vanilla ice cream of anywhere.
Good morning all. Happy Spring Day.

Looking at the high of 30° today, am thinking it’s probably just going to be Spring Morning really.
Also…

Allergex at the ready!
Morning all
Had a date nite with the Mrs and went down to the waterfront. Had an amazing time. Had some Wedgwood ice-cream which I thought was amazing.
I had some of that Wedgewood ice-cream at their factory shop on a vineyard a couple years ago. It was so good!
G’day. Get at it!

This came into my inbox today from our marketing team, and I’m finding so many issues with it that it irks me; I don’t even want to read the rest of the email.

Their cookie dough is my favourite and mum loves the honey comb one
But I can recommend aaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllll the flavours
I blame @ani
Greetings
But why even? What’s the point? Is it one of those weird corporate “yay, team!” motivation things?
First off, it irritated me on my editor level: “early Germanic peoples wrote on strips of beechwool”. Umm no, beechwood.
Secondly: I also am not a fan of inferring inspiration through convoluted metaphors tied to the etymological strings of a word. Really? Is there nothing more direct that they could use?
I also am not a fan of these corporate emails either. Last week we got an email every day along the lines of: we are releasing the name of our x product soon, 3 more days!
Every day after that, the same, one day less.
I mean, I know the new name and so does the whole team. We have been working on the product for months. Why try to whip us into some kind of hype train.
I don’t understand corporate culture at all.
I swear, if I was in charge of internal communications and was tasked with sharing motivational messages, this is what I’m sending everyone in the organisation:
Now get back to work, you potato!
Sorry boss, I can’t make it in today, I’m fried.
