"Bad Day at the Office"

I had a box of ancient, tissue-paper-like, carbon and parchment papers dating as far back as 1946!; Jamming in the machine and going in more than one page at a time! It took me 3 HOURS to finish it and it was only 1879 pages! I wish I could explain how embarassing that is to my production standards, but it'll take a while.

I had my camera with me and I was alone for the moment when I was done (The otehr two co-workers stepped out...) and I felt like I wanted to document my fustration with a pic, so I took a quick one...



Pretty scary, huh? I look like James Gandolfini ready to whack someone!


A couple hours go by and I get some more time alone and i think to myself, "C'mon, I should do at least one pic smiling here at the office so I took another...



There, that's a little better....

I tried one last one from up above trying to get my scanning machine, but the angle didn't work....



AND let's face it, I just don't know how to smile, it's always been a weakness of mine. I can do serious (downright menacing even!), but for me to crack a smile, it takes a crowbar. The office is so small, and the sun comes in the window at an angle that makes taking pictures tricky so don't expect any more of these...unless I get another "box from Hell".

Well, we all have our off days...

    I love the "thinker" pic!

    Very cool!!!!

    OMG @ taking pics in the UN.

    You still take the subway or train, bus still? Make up this elaborate story and ask them a question....then post it.

    I think this would be the coolest project. I'd do it, but where I live we don't even have taxi's sooo.....
