Crazy Vincent used a lot of staples and glue in the contruction of his "couture-like" garment.

Hee! Good to know that my last-ditch "Must finish the alterations so I can wear this to the club tonight" efforts are used by "professionals".

ita, if you decide to glue any bits of your costume, be warned: some glues (like the ones for hot glue guns) glow under black light. Which can be a cool look, but only if you have a very steady hand when you apply the glue.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

I do not want to know how an office of 18 can have more than 3 departments.

Everything about this is bad.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

My office has 18 people (20 if you count the part-timers), and we have 4 departments. Actually, 5 if you separate Finances from HR.

Oh dear. The craziness is catching up, I guess?

It's cold and rainy here. I hate driving at twilight in the rain. Road and sky are pretty much indistinguishable, and the contrast everywhere else is very low. It's a pretty and interesting asthetic, but it royally sucks to drive in.

You want to hear from turnover? My office, not including consultants, has roughly 30 people - sometimes a few more, sometimes a few less. We totted up the number who have left since minion and I came on board, about 3 years.

COO who just resigned is number 60.

18 to 20 people are one ... thing. Twenty people working together with 5 organizational boundaries seems like a recipe for failure.

Well, this is my company's 40-year anniversary, so they've been doing something right.
