I've been tagged by the wonderful deemacgee. Here goes:
The Eight Things Meme:
1. What ever happened to my "get fit for 2007" motto from the start of
the year? And how long are New Years' resolutions supposed to last
anyway?
2. I have loads of eyes problems caused by my contact lenses which are
due to my allergies. But I'm too vain to wear glasses full time. I'd
rather be a secret geek. Okay, it's no secret – I'm a geek. Everyone
knows it!
3. It's funny how one toxic person can destroy a whole work
environment - which can otherwise be rather pleasant when she's away
for the day.
4. I know it's selfish, but I'm tired of covering for people who seem
to take sick leave all the time. Or people with small children in
childcare who can only work certain hours. Yes, I understand. No, I
still don't want to cover for them.
5. I am determined to stop making excuses for myself. I am capable of
more and I need to push myself. Just because it doesn't come
naturally, doesn't mean I can't do it.
6. I am yet to use the title "Dr". It's funny because it seemed so
cool when I first started the PhD and now that's it's well over, I'm
so over it. Besides, most Australians have no idea what a PhD is
anyway.
7. I want to lose weight – even though I'm in the "healthy weight
range" - because it's so hard to buy clothes when you're not thin.
Yes, the industry controls us all. But it's proving impossible to get
back to my pre-wedding weight without giving up chocolate! (And
without sticking to my 10,000 steps a day.)
8. I am currently obsessed about turning the front of my house into
one of those traditional English cottage gardens with an Australian
edge. I never thought – this time last year – that I'd now be spending
my spare time reading books about plants.
I tag whoever luvs me.

It's all posted on my blog!
I think you should ask people to call you Dr Jezzy from now on. Just keep a log of what they say and the look on the their face and then tell us about it. Please! It would be fun!
Ok, old dude in the area! What is an "meme"?
Someone, (perhaps a doctorate in communications :) could write a book "ancient method of communication between an author and a reader using ink and papyrus". Most effective in it's day!)
So tell me what the meme is and I'll see if I can reply.
As always great to see the real you in a blog Doctor.
Memes are just little getting to know you activities where you answer a series of questions or share stuff about yourself. I spent a long time calling them quizzes because I didn't realize they were supposed to be called memes. My kids corrected me one day, lol. To my knowledge they only happen on blogs, email, and social networking places (MySpace, Facebook, Bebo, etc.) When I read your comment, Mr. Guinness, I thought you would enjoy this You Tube video... http://youtube.com/watch?v=LRBIVRwvUeE.
I wubs you Dr jez but I cannae be arsed with memes. ;)
P.S put your bloody glasses on!
Jezzy,
Ok, thank you to "jaded Prima Donna" for the explaination of "meme".
So here's me! Friday night, home from a terrible week of SHITE work, a Board of Directors meeting tomorrow where I am the "early bird special,...grilled or sauteed?"
Life is a bear! Not a "bitch" because my woman has stood beside me for over forty years and while we can disagree (loudly and vocally, embarrassing both friends and neighbors alike) we both still sleep together in the same bed at the end of the day every night.
(Word of Advise from "old fart",...never go to bed angry with your spouse,...even if she was dead right!(not that I'm admitting perhaps my agrument was not rock solid) Life is to short to be 'right', ...but alone, all by yourself, or worst yet, on the sofa with the courage of your convictions. Love WILL conquer all!)
(sigh), enough wisdom for the evening,...my head hurts!
No, you're wonderful. :)
