Why it's a bad idea to go on vacation...

Random irrelevance that just didn't fit into other forums. Talk about anything.

Oh, it's not my desk. It belongs to the poor bastard who sits next to me all day. He comes back from Germany early next week. The trick is that everything is still usable. I even wrapped his computer tower, but made holes for all the cabling and plugged it all back in. There's even a hole for the power button and the CD tray.

Holy shit, speaking of Harmonix.

This was shown at weely today, and I am so glad it is on the internet. These are my bosses:

Random facts: this video was made just by the other guitarist in my band walking around filming important people not working. And the singer of my band performs the "dramatization" of Mike Dornbrook.

I've posted these before, but we've got some pretty good "cube wars" going on in my office.

It all started when my friend went on vacation. We wrapped all of this things in saran wrap, turning it into a giant plane. :P

And, they got me back by moving my entire cube (with working internet and phone) into the bathroom. Here's me in my lovely new office space, right next to the urinal.

I had this same thing happen to me when I called out sick one day except it was saran wrap. They even went as far as to individually wrap each and every one of my pens and pencils. There was not one item left on my desk untouched. I wonder if my colleagues got any work done that day...

Warhammer Online released it's desert themed expansion today. So, the crew decided to show their appreciation to the game's producer:
