You just never know what you’re going to get when you work in an office full of Creatives. And by Creatives, I mean crazy, in a somewhat certifiable fashion. It’s what makes us good at our jobs. Because let’s be honest- while you want straight-laced, analytical Bob the accountant to do your taxes, you don’t want him creating an ad campaign for you. Or a promotional video. Or a website. Or pretty much anything else that doesn’t involve your W-2. But I’m getting off-track (another symptom of being a Creative).
So as you can imagine, putting a group of people with the above listed attributes together can lead to, well, interesting discoveries. There are the sporadic ball fights that break out a couple times a week (think food fight but with little blue, squishy balls), as well as the practicing of lessons taught at Mixed Martial Arts after hours on the clock… on the conference table.
And then there’s this: the picture attached to this post. Since it’s hard to make out, I will decipher. What you are looking at is exactly what we are looking at when we open the office refrigerator right now. On the left is a bottle of creamer labeled “For Everyone” for all of the coffee addicts. In the middle is another bottle of *flavored* (oooohhh!) creamer with the label, “If you Didn’t Buy It, Don’t Drink It.” This phrase is paying homage to the fact that things have a mysterious way of disappearing (into Jeremy’s stomach) when the refrigerator bodyguard is on his own respective lunch break (how do you think he stays so big?).
And then there’s the bottle on the right…
Like I said, you never know what you’re gonna get…. sort of like a box of chocolates, but nothing like it.
