Nothing serious here. I just saw this article on Yahoo that says a new species of Lemur was named after British comedian and Monty Python alum, John Cleese. They will call the critters “avahi cleesei”.

Why? Well if you remember the movie Fierce Creatures, you’ll recall a most hilarious scene involving these tiny Madagascar-dwelling creatures. Cleese also did a documentary called “Lemurs with John Cleese” to shine a spotlight on the plight of these endangered little guys.

Congratulations John Cleese!

The good people over at Office2share.com are holding a contest to find the top 10 reasons to escape the home office from hell.

Office 2 Share is a company that helps small businesses and startups find and lease small amounts of shared ready to use professional office space for short periods of time.

Now we at Home Office Blues prefer our home offices, but recognize the value of accessing more traditional space for large meetings or as our businesses outgrow us.

One of the problems with working from home is that I don’t hear any good jokes anymore. There is no “water cooler” banter.

If you’ve got any good jokes, put them in the comments below. If enough people are interesed I may create a forum for jokes on this site. Let me know what you think.
