The Attention Deficit Disorder Thread

:33: Its not like one of those twinkies that have been nailed to a door and hasn't changed in five years is it aranoid:

 

I actually did that many years ago - well it was an onion ring. It stayed up there for like 2 months at my first job.

 

Why? Why??!!!

 

Good night Scribe.

 

Jack? My belly is waiting!!

 

What now?

 

:33: Why not with all the preservatives in those things they will survive a nuclear explosion :2cent:
Hey Mok those onion rings from Burger King by chance

 

They seldom are. They're usually off the wall. I look forward to them.

 

Do your husbandly duties and do it now

 

Hrm... well it's a lengthy story - the shortest explanation was my graphic artist and I were working a lot of late nights/early mornings and we used the onion ring to symbolize our struggle through the nights.

I could give you the full lengther, but it's a really long read. :22:

 

I wanted you to rub my belly like you did yesterday because it made me feel so much better.

Post them and we can all have fun analyzing them!

 

No, no, I get it.... onion ring as a symbol for the nightly struggle... totally logical.... :33:

 

Oh righto... hope you found the suggestions helpful.

I believe it was Jack in the Box. But it was because we didn't order onion rings

 

*rubs belly* There you go dear.

 

Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh.... *wobble wobble*

 

:31: fine.

Right out of college I got a job as an editor for a new electronics magazine. It was a skeleton team of 5 people - all of us were right out of college, so the company got away working us all night to make deadlines.

I was working on a big section with another newly hired graphic artist and for like 2 weeks, we worked and basically slept at the office. We were slowly losing our sanity and it came to a zenith on the 2nd to last day of the deadline - we went to Jack In The Box to get fast food and in our french fries, was a single onion ring. We pretty much lost it and for the rest of the night, we couldnt help but laugh ourselves silly over that stupid onion ring. Funny enough, it was that silly moment of levity that brought up our morale and we finished to make our deadline. And we kept that onion ring on there for two months - even the night cleaning crew left it alone.

Thus, endeth the tale of the nailed onion ring.

 

I love that tale!

 

Humor is one of the biggest resources you can have. I keep telling my co-workers: it is important to have a good laugh every now and then. Sometimes, when the topic is heavy and the discussion is heated, I drop a silly comment and it actually helps to find relief for a moment.

 

Oh I'm a big believer in having moments of levity even in the most serious moments. That and it's fun doing physical comedy in the middle of a company meeting.

 

Like what?
