Day 47

Another archived photo... taken near the atrium area in the building I work in.

 

Last March was a stressful time for many in the group I where I used to work. Lots of knee-jerk decisions being made and "my emergency is now your emergency" type crap going on.

 

So my peers and I sit in cubicle land (ever seen the movie Office Space?) just down the aisle from this railing over looking the 1st floor. One of my peers had just come out of one of the managers offices looking a little perturbed. So I made this sign and stuck it on the railing... because we all joked about holding each other back or making diving motions over the rail. Well everyone of my peers thougt it was hilarious. Nice little tension breaker.

 

Unfortunately one of the managers was not overly pleased and began to walk down the row questioning my peers asking them if they knew who did it. They all said no, but that they thought it was funny. Well, the manager got to my desk and glared at me and said "do you know who did this? I replied "I did, it was a joke" and they stormed off!! It was April fools day... So later the manager pulled in the remaining peers that they didn't get to question and asked the question they already had the answer to... who did it? They all said they didn't know (when they did) and that they thought it was funny.

 

So this made it up to the VP of my group who was away on business. When they got back they agreed it was funny and told me not to worry about it. To this day I have no idea where the sign ended up. It did bounce around from office to office, but I don't know where it is today. Good thing I took a picture of it!!
