Boss popped over this morning to check how I was getting on with my brochure. Guess what, he was suppose to see it next Friday. I've worked on it throughout Christmas & New year ,suppose to relax these few days! Anyway I printed it out & show him. He skimmed through it & said - (this is really punchy )- (we should fire this off now , get ahead of ourselves )... I was thinking oh NO......
So now I've got to find something else to do for the rest of next week, in case he comes over for any more impromptu meetings.
I sms Celeste & she laughed like crazy!

Please be careful when eating traditional glutinous "mochi" rice cakes.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but
9 people have choked to death in Japan after eating traditional glutinous
"mochi" rice cakes to celebrate the New Year.

| Mochi, a traditional New Year delicacy |
In Tokyo alone, 18 people were sent
to hospital due to suffocation after eating the New Year delicacy, and three of
them died. The Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper said the death toll from rice cake
accidents reached nine by Friday across the nation and 13 others were in a
serious condition.
During the New Year period, one of
Japan's biggest holidays, families traditionally cook "ozouni" soup
and put the sticky rice cakes in the vegetable broth. Authorities are advising
people especially the elderly and infants, to cut mochi into small pieces
before eating it. Every year, several Japanese die after choking on rice cakes.
