Pictures from
International
Week. Very amusing, yes? This is actually my office.
Meet "Joe."
I will not reveal his real name, to protect his identity.
He looks nothing like he does in these pictures, in business casual.
"Where is the stress ball?!"
Friday morning is typically a laid-back day, so its shocking when within the first 20 minutes you are at your desk someone screams out, "where is the stress ball?" Thats also when you know its going to be a long, long day...
Count Security Guard
So one of our guards here at my office building looks strikingly similar to the Count from Sesame Street. The only difference, is he has grey hair instead of black, but other than that, I am convinced the puppet was modeled after him. He is even short and stocky like the count. I want him to start counting, randomly, as I walk through the ID scanners one day. Perhaps he took the job as security guard at the front desk so he could count how many people enter and leave the building each day. Count Security also bears an accent, which causes me uncontrollably to burst out laughing everytime he utters "good morning." He sounds eastern European, which makes me think he could be from Transylvania...I think they should give him a cape to wear with his uniform. It would make the allusion complete. "Good morning number 12...good morning number 13."
If I had a mini, under-cover camera...
Oh the pictures I would take if I had an Austin Powers-esk camera at work. More and more each day, I am inspired to take photos by the people and things I see in my building.
We are currently having "International Week," which means each department has a different country based on your bosses ethnic origin. Its a competition- decorations, food, and overall moral are judged upon. My department is the Philippines. Our area is decorated with palm trees, tiki torches, grass-hut material, lanterns, etc.
There are more reasons as to why I want a mini-camera. Beyond the International Week, my office is full of oddities, including strange people with clothing fetishes, and morale posters that make one laugh about their company rather take pride in the business. The candy lady, an older woman who has a plethora of candy at her desk to solicit visitors, wears a visor everyday. Its not sunny in the office, and the flourescent lights can't be that bright. I don't understand. Its a mystery that will go on unsolved, similar to what the IT men actually do.
poop
