JordanRinke January 19, 2010 Share JordanRinke Member January 19, 2010 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. http://www.cafepress.com/IRTermite 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flitterkill January 19, 2010 Share Flitterkill GC Board Member January 19, 2010 Not a lot of people get the hitchcock insipiration.
