[SpikeFri] google.org and when to kiss the boss

« H E » email

posted Fri 14 Oct 05

Google have announced http://www.google.org/ a site setup to distribute the wealth of Google for causes to help man kind. So projects like clean water in Africa and anti-poverty initiatives will be financed from the Google war chest. This is admirably and quite a commitment to donate around a $1B back into the world. Although, they still have a little way to go to meet Bill Gates $28B contribution to the world:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4333942.stm

Have you ever thought about kissing your boss? Okay let me rephrase that, have you ever been in one of those awkward situations where you don't really know if kissing is on the cards? I am not talking about that moment after you've walked your date home and you're both standing there waiting to see if something happens. I am talking professionally. Well the BBC published a story yesterday stating that under no circumstances should you kiss those that you have a professional relationship with. So thats why ladies-of-the-night never kiss on the mouth.
