Today was first day of trading for the company I work for under it's new name. After we were cut loose by the parent company, BHPBilliton, we were known as BHP Steel. Now we're BlueScope steel. They celebrated by giving each employee a package with the usual bright future stuff and a keyring torch which shines a blue light on which was inscribed "You see better with a Blue Scope". I can't help but think, what a stupid name for a steel producer.

They had a competition for the employees to choose the new name. We've since found out that the bluescope domain name was registered about 6 months before the competition even started. Rolling Eyes

But they did buy us dinner last week, as a thankyou for our recent good performance. One of the best seafood meals I've ever had. And they even paid for the drinks. Total cost for the 27 in my group was $1932. But since they recently paid the CEO a 2 million dollar bonus, on top of his 1.9 million salary, I think they can afford it!

Wow, SealPoet. Don't you know the patriotic (and therefore right and moral and not-evil) thing to do is to buy American steel? And, hell, it may be so porous after a few months in the driveway that you can look through it.

I said I acquired it, p.d. Stolen Steel.

What a coincidence. Last week we had a cold snap here, and I found myself stealing a stole.

So here we have a Seal who's stealing steel, and a soul with a stolen stole.
