Yet another tragic consequence of the bankers greed: blondes are dyeing their hair to brunette in order to be seen as more serious in the workplace.

Apparently blondes are perceived by employers as a dispensable luxury and are more likely to be retrenched.

Does this mean the end of the world as we know it? Is the world going to become a darker place? No more Tippex on the computer screen?

Not that I’ve anything against brunettes, but well, blondes are more fun. Blondes make the world a better place. We need more of them, not less.

No more tracing paper stuck to the LCD monitor and then using a pencil to copy graphs? at least in this case telling about PrintScreen helped

This one I've seen myself and had enough time to stop.

But yes, blondes sometimes are more fun.

Peelie,

If you knew me you'd soon learn otherwise.

Yoli,

Raven-haired and loving it.

Blondes are also more expensive.

I have heard that you can tell who are the new word processing operators by the whiteout on their computer screens. Have you ever seen that?

I worked, and still work as a part time system administrator and part time assistant teacher at the university.

So I probably have seen all the lot - from using phone camera to take screenshots, to one of the staff members locking machine ACCIDENTALLY to the point of not being able to log in - by switching off the network connection (she later said - I finished using the internet, so I clicked it off).

But using the whiteout... well, probably department of digital electronics and computer science is a wrong place too look for such things...
