"One CALCIBLOC a day,keeps the highblood away"
Yesterday was the final straw of eating 2 ricemeals, chewing gum and truffle chocolates while on my graveyard shift. Why? because yesterday was the day,and I say D DAY for dying.
As I was on my way to work,I thought the it was all the symptoms of motion sickness.

Secretary's Desk
A notable desk in the office would be the secretary desk. This simple piece of office furniture is not just any table---it serves as the connecting bridge to the boss' office to the rest of the other employees. Hence, picking the right secretary desk is more critical than one thinks. First of all, it must be spacious enough to hold in all of the necessary stuff that a secretary needs---they should all be within reach. Having the secretary comfortable will mean a lot too because the secretary does the most...

We've gotta say, we're having real trouble figuring out exactly which MP3 player the bright green "Mini Aluminum Pocket Clipper" is trying to copy: the lack of a symbol for the play button, coupled with a badly Photoshopped logo on the back has us really muddled!
The second example, the iQ Sound 2GB Clip-on Aluminum MP3 Player with FM -- at least tries to improve upon its "source of inspiration," whatever that device may ...

Its a skateboard like, feet rest... its The Webble seems to be the bastard child of an foot-rest and a skateboard, and is likely to bring along with it some of the later street attitude into the office environment of the former.

With every other A-lister raving about the iPhone, I can’t help but feel happy for everyone who got themselves a unit.
