One of the local buisnesses around here (although, since I haven’t seen it in a while, maybe a defunct local business) used to have a pocket calendar. The front of the calendar had one generic scenic view.
BOOOOOOOOOOring.
The back of each page, however, had interesting and important stuff like metric to English distances, or Celsius to Fahrenheit temperatures, or teaspoons to tablespoons to cups to quarts to gallons, or grams to ounces, or pints to pecks to bushels, or cm[sup]2[/sup] to in[sup]2[/sup] and acres to hectares, and a whole bunch o’ other stuff. Each month had a pocket, too, so one could stuff all one’s mail and bills and etc. in for later.
Haven’t seen one in years, though, so I content myself with the calendar that comes with Outlook and give my father the Jeopardy calendar for Xmas every year.
Maybe it was the AI guys who gave out those cool calendars?..
An e-friend made me an Andrew Lloyd Webber calendar, representing his 12 major shows: Joseph, Jesus Christ Superstar, Jeeves, Evita, Song & Dance, Cats, Starlight Express, Phantom of the Opera, Aspects of Love, Sunset Boulevard, Whistle Down the Wind, and The Beautiful Game.
Right now, I have a small calendar with pictures of kittens on my cube wall. It will be replaced with a calendar with pictures of beach scenes in 2002.
At home, I have a calendar with artwork of fish, which will be replaced with the SPCA calendar for 2002.
Oh, yeah, and I have my 2002 Daytimer refill, too.
My exterminator gave me a calendar. It’s called “Miss Spider” for some strange reason. Anyway, every month there are new pictures of creepy crawlers to look at and even some handy tips for getting rid of em. Attractive and practical, what more could I ask?
