For all those concerned, Caroline's fish Jess seems to be much perkier. We have taken her out of isolation and she is now swimming in the main fish bowl. MH.

Belinda is... without a car
Mark should...get his bike back from the repairers this week
Michelle is... upset her gums are not her friends lately

We are...

UNDER PRESSURE (one designer down, one production manager down)
75% THROUGH THE SUMPTUOUS ADS
FAST APPROACHING PRINT DEADLINE TOMORROW

Keep Cup

In arid regions like Australia, biodegradation of a paper cup can take 50 years or more.
It's not just the cup and lid that go into landfill. On average, each disposable cup contains 5% of the raw materials involved in the process of making and delivering it.
It is a choice. We can destroy fewer trees and reduce landfill, CO2 and energy output.

The solution - the first barista standard reusable coffee cup!

see you in spring

In five hours and thirty minutes JMS will be short one designer. How will they cope with this loss? Replaced by two sick goldfish and a stereo my absence may go unnoticed, or it could end in tears. Who will re-stock the green tea or call for the recycling bin to be emptied?

Upon my return will I arrive to changed locks and my belongings packed into cardboard boxes? Rejected, replaced, forgotten. Or will there be a big band and fanfare waiting to greet me at the airport? Only time will tell.

I will miss my favourites at JMS (you know who you are) but will be back in 7 weeks, hopefully with a story or two to tell and maybe even a tan.

Stay tuned for the occasional OS post.

The JMS bloggers















Hello and welcome... please stay tuned for bits and pieces of our lives at JMS. We are stuck together 8 or so hours a day. It might be entertaining, it might be silly or sad, it might be dumb or it might just be plain random, but we just want to share. It makes the world go round.

Our Inaugural Blog

Caroline has the most interesting workspace because she has posters and pretty pictures all over her wall. She always says it looks like her brain has exploded. I have had two teas so far today and I will have a coffee in 15 minutes. I will follow that up with some chewing gum to get that funny after instant coffee taste from my mouth. Belinda is wearing a pretty green cardigan today. She also has a mustard one. I always wonder what sort of mustard she likes..? Michelle does a really good Asian accent but she is Asian so she kind of has an advantage. Caroline, Michelle and I play a game called 'Highs and Lows'. You have to say the best thing that happened to you and the worst thing that happened to you during the day. We will play it at about 5pm, and we will also have a 'High and Low' from the whole week. Belinda sometimes likes to trick the paper shredder by feeding it in and then taking it out. I think the paper shredder gets annoyed with her doing that, but he's too polite to say anything. MH. XO
