Boredom at Work:  The Empty Life



This is like some episode of MAD MEN created during the actual era. "He makes friends with every ten-dollar tramp that comes along..."

Excellent!

Long week?  I’ve never worked this hard

I feel bad complaining about another hard week at work -- especially when I see how enterprising and hard-working this guy is --

We could play "How many chairs?" or "Where's Waldo?"

Wait a second, in the top corner...

Isn't it a shame that bright young ambitious girls today, who might wish to serve their nation's astronautics corps, can no longer dream of becoming--SPACE SECRETARIES!?!

Supercharged Lawn mower

When used correctly, electricity can be our friend. This is one reason I like gas-powered mowers.



Some great sparks at startup, and if you look closely at 20 seconds in, the lawn is actually mowed!!

What NOT To Say At Work


There are some very specific things you shouldn't say to your co-workers. Offensive things. Questions and comments that could lead to a lawsuit, or getting fired. But how do you know exactly what those things are? Aside from using your common sense, the Delaware Department of Transportation was kind enough to make this brochure. They also issued an apology when, surprise!, people found the brochure to be offensive.

Careers for Christian Youth

My pal Ed Morris sent me this 1956 book. Was there ever such an innocent time? The text is quite reasonable and sensible and not overly evangelical, so I could not really find any silly passages to scan. The dreamy cover will have to suffice.
