One of our Style Statement questions is: what would you like to master? Here is a tongue in cheek report by Karryn, our Communications Manager.

I came into this business with all the technical savvy required to operate a hairdryer. I thought that Hyper Text Markup Language was how over-achieving students got their teachers to raise their grades. A browser was someone who couldn’t just buy something already.

Our CEO’s immune system nearly shut down from pure frustration. But then I became a Cyberspace Invader and now randomly tell everyone to, “Kiss my ADSL!” In fact, I am the new Killer App of the company. I am the motherboard. I byte my thumbdrive at all the technical plebs!

To illustrate how untechnically inclined I was, the letters on our license plate are FTP which I remember as Filthy Toilet Paper and my husband remembers as File Transfer Protocol. (This pretty much sums up our differing approaches to life, the universe and everything.)

But ever since I hunkered down and learned all this stuff, I now have the bandwidth to absorb huge amounts of new information and HTML code my little heart out. I’m not just a pretty broadband - I’m the alpha geek! Dan, you have been dethroned!

Ha ha! I used to eat cookies, but now I disable them. And I never liked the GUI kind any way (prefer them crunchy.)
