Out of control

Recommended Posts

I work at Rackspace, it is a cool place with fun people etc... this is a perfect example:

 

I drew a picture of me (really poor outline) on a rolling whiteboard and put it by my desk to "pretend" I was here so when my manager looked over he would see it instead of me as a joke.

 

Well, I left for lunch... by the time I got back a co-worker had re-drawn it (extremely well) and then made a cafepress site and sent out links so people could buy shirts and mugs and what not.

Apparently people (friends and co-workers) are actually buying them too. Amazing how fast things get out of control around here.

 

I am on the product team though, it is our job to design and build products. I guess this is just a side effect of being good at what we do hah.

Where I work, creativity is punished.

Have Cafe Press improved over the last 5 years?

 

 

 

Also, I'm glad you are back from the dead and look forward to you directing sequels to The Birds, Psycho, and other masterpieces of yours.

Not a lot of people get the hitchcock insipiration.

 

Really? I noticed it immediately since Hitchcock is my favorite movie director! It looked like Hitchcock with a baseball cap to me.
