Recovered Notes to Myself – April 10, 2008

I was sorting through a bunch of stuff after my big move, and I came across a note that I wrote to myself back in 2005. Based on the content, I must have been extremely bored with my job at the time. The note is an idea to launch a series of t-shirts, mugs, and mouse pads that embody the clichés, realities, and day dreams of the workplace.

There isn’t much structure on how to make this happen, just a bunch of words and phrases written down that could be printed onto any office item. Without adieu, and in no particular order, here is the list:

- Power Lunch

- Corporate Ladder (Climber optional)

- Middle Man

- TPS Reprots

- Sans Question

- Executive Executive Assistant

- Whipping Boy or Fall Guy

- Bureaucratic Bitch

- Upper Management

- Expense Reporter

- Copy Machine Expert

- Photcopying Sensai

- Slave

- Yes Ma’am

- Yes Sir

- Of Course, Immediately

- Cream or Sugar?

- <$30K

- Cubicle

- Copies Anyone?

- First Thing

- Collate – Stack – Staple

- Office Party Incident
