You Know The Economy is Bad When...

Your cubicle at work now looks like this:





Seriously, this cracked me up. These people took A LOT of time to do this. Just look at all the details! And no, it is not my actual office. I got this in an email and thought it was hilarious and wanted to share.
In other office "funnies":

NEW OFFICE POLICY


Dress Code:

1) You are advised to come to work dressed according to your salary.

2) If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a Gucci bag, we will assume you are doing well financially and therefore do not need a raise.

3) If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you may buy nicer clothes, and therefore you do not need a raise.

4) If you dress just right, you are right where you need to be and therefore you do not need a raise.

Sick Days:

We will no longer accept a doctor's statement as proof of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.


Personal Days:

Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called Saturdays & Sundays.


Bathroom Breaks:

Entirely too much time is being spent in the toilet. There is now a strict three-minute time limit in the stalls. At the end of three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the stall door will open, and a picture will be taken. After your second offense, your picture will be posted on the company bulletin board under the 'Chronic Offenders' category. Anyone caught smiling in the picture will be sectioned under the company's mental health policy.


Lunch Break:

* Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch, as they needto eat more, so that they can look healthy.

* Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get abalanced meal to maintain their average figure.

* Chubby people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that'sall the time needed to drink a Slim-Fast.


Thank you for your loyalty to our company. We are here to provide a positive employment experience. Therefore, all questions, comments, concerns, complaints, frustrations, irritations, aggravations, insinuations, allegations, accusations, contemplations, consternation and input should be directed elsewhere.

My favorite part is the bathroom break photo op. :) I was laughing so hard they thought I was actually having fun at work so I immediately shut my yapper.

I hope you all have a wonderous weekend. We are traveling south to Des Moines to see friends/family and watch some b-ball. It will be nice to get away from it all for a bit. Talk to you all next week!

Oh, that's grand.
I wish my office was made of cardboard... or candy... or bubble wrap.

Just found you. You are too cute! I had to stop in just because of the name of your blog. I think I clicked on you from a comment on an Austrailain blog about spiders. Hey, do YOU know what a huntsman spider is? I know I could google it, but . . . I'm too busy blogging. hehe. Come visit sometime. I live in ND, but you probably drove by my grandma's in Ceder Rapids today!

Danielle again.
