#job#working hoursWhat kind of water to use for indoor plants
Ideally indoors plants need rain water.
Tap water can be used at room temperature. If the water is too cold, plants may not like it.
Boiled and cooled water is a good solution to remove chalk (if the water is too hard).
#plantsCoffee as a gift
Coffee is a good present for relatives, but be sure you know the taste of the person you buy the coffee for. Many people don't like flavoured coffee, for example.
#giftsShortcut in Outlook Address Book
I just discovered a shortcut in Microsoft Outlook mail and I thought to share it with other people writing lots of mails like me.
When you write a new mail, you can quickly check names (from your address book or the local directory, if you're at work) by pressing CTRL+K. This is so easy and practical.
#mail#technologyWorking in Customer Service
Answering to angry customer's phone calls can be very tiresome and stressful, no matter how stress-resistant you are.
I suggest this tiny little advice for those of you who work in the field. This is a trick I found myself today.
While holding the receiver / headphone on the right ear, place the headset of your iPod in the left ear. Put your favourite song on and concentrate for a moment to the rhythm. This feels great.
You can try it too, but watch out for your boss! :)
#jobGift ideas for Disney fans
Disney clothing for kids with cartoon colourful prints: Snow White, Tinkerbell, Hannah Montana and Winnie the Pooh.
#giftsMcDonald's First Gay Commercial
McDonald's designed a new ad intended to coincide with the Gay Pride celebrations in June. It's rather funny than disturbing, in my opinion.
#advertisingNotre Dame Cathedral Tips
One the finest example of Gothic architecture anywhere in the world. You shouldn't wait too long to enter the cathedral (no admission charged). You might find a mass going on and people praying so stay quiet and don't use flash.
A do not miss is the tower climb (entrance located to the left of Notre Dame as you are facing it). The view of Paris from the top is one of the best. There are 387 steps to reach the bell tower and no elevator, so you must be in good shape! Entrance fee is €8 per person. The queue can be pretty long as they only allow 20 people in every 10 minutes. So be sure you get there early.
Ah, one more thing: just say "non" to the numerous gypsies that ask you if you speak English. They will leave if you say no.
