Today we had quite an adventure at work. First of all, we were rolling stainless steel through the machines at work! Then we taped it to copper foil. Then where we taped it broke part-way through the machine, so the whole experiment was cancelled. But boy was it fun while it lasted. And I even got to press all the buttons! Including the "Sever Tape Seam - Abort Experiment" button!
Here's a warning label on a little thing we have at work. The top left picture says "You're sure to laugh hysterically when your packages fall off this cart". The top right picture explains how gravity works. The middle-left picture shows how to crush your enemies with the lift. The middle right button depicts old-timey "wheelies," and the shoe is passing gas. The bottom left picture either shows a couple of different football plays or might be showing how to use this machine to get hugs and/or kisses. The bottom right clearly shows that this machine has three different maximum capacities, based primarily on which graph you decide to read before using the device. This highly informative label has saved many lives in our workplace, but I am fortunately the first to have captured a still image of it in its natural habitat.
While we're on the subject of pictures taken at work, I'd like to apologize for yesterday's Emergency Emo button picture. It as a little misleading. What I should have said was "Where was this button in the year 2000 (or the mid 80's depending on who you're talking to)?" I feel like a lot of bands could have been saved from a wasted effort if this button had been around back then. And also a lot of band genrifiers (I just now made that word up!) would have been saved a lot of time from classifying the myriad (literally 10,000) bands who ultimately cried a lot for no reason.
I may or may not have mentioned that I get lunch at work every day. Immediately following our morning meeting, the secretary takes count of how many people want the catered lunch, and then the lunches come late morning and we eat them at lunchtime, oddly enough. This is a picture of a typical lunch. The soup on the left comes with 2 glowsticks in the bottom for the post-lunch rave we have every day. The items in the lunchbox are, from top-left, clockwise: yellowish, pink, brown and green, pink, brown and white with ketchup, and dark brownish-green. Also I get rice. It's nearly delicious nearly every day!
In the famous last words of Jon Stewart: Here it is folks, your moment of zen:
You are fucking brilliant. Just absolutely brilliant. You need to write for Hollywood. or books. You should write "for" books. Now I will read a very boring paper on some unimportant linguistics subject.
