Blimps, biros and buildings

todayiamadaisyIf I roll my chair back about a metre (which makes it quite hard to type) I can see a blimp drifting above the street. It's there as some sort of promotion for the car dealer further along. Giant advertising logo aside, I like it. There should be more of them.
Exciting (well...) things that have happened at work today:
Bad: my favourite pen, a very pointy Bic Classic Fine with black ink, ran out and all we've got in the stationery cupboard is a box of thick-nibbed pens with blue ink. Hmph. I prefer a pointy nib; the pointier, the better.
Good: while at the stationery cupboard I found a box of coloured paperclips, so the paperclip compartment of my desk organiser is now full to the brim and very pretty.
New: I received a new chequebook in the mail, which revealed that the National Australia Bank has changed the font used in its chequebooks from Times New Roman to Arial.
Stupid: the new chequebook also shows that the National Australia Bank, or NAB as it likes to call itself, has changed its logo to "nab". I don't know that that's a good image for a bank.
Hot: It's a gorgeous, sunny day outside and we've got the heating on in here. I think I'm going to melt.
Question: Why is it that spell-checkers don't know so many computer-related words? Semagic is trying to tell me there is a font called "Aerial". Sigh.
A man set up a big easel outside our office this morning. He turned out to be a streetscape artist and he's painting the 1880s building façades across the street. I hope he puts the blimp in.
