Getting Fired
Months ago, I mentioned a conversation that I had with my boss about getting older. Monday just happened to be his 40th birthday. I wouldn’t have known this if one of the ladies in my office hadn’t reminded me. She said that we should decorate his office and then surprise him when her arrives first thing in the morning. What a horrible idea. A guy turning 40 would not appreciate being shocked so violently. And then, to top it all off, he’d have to sit in an office covered with crappy decorations. There’s no way something like that could end well. What kind of idiot would do something like that?
(The first picture was snapped as he jumped back in shock. I think we gave him his first heart attack. YAY!)
And you know what would be even more stupid than decorating his office? It would be to decorate it so that when he removes the first layer of decorations, there’s another layer waiting on him. That’s practically begging to get fired.

I think this is the part I miss most about working at MERC besides all the slacking off with you of course. The closest I’ll get at LIGO is the week of the LSU/UF game where we (our mechanical designer and I) plan to torment our other drafter (an LSU grad) by constantly decorating his office and truck with UF stuff.
