Morph Pad
Mens Blog March 20th, 2008
So, I am forced to attend those Brown Bag Lunches at work, where we talk about how fantastic our jobs are, and ridiculous conversations like oh my god, are the clocks one minute off? That’s crazy. I thought it was me! I thought I was going insane! Yeah, it’s a regular snooze fest. Here’s the thing: office people have to create office drama– our lives can be that boring, unless you’re taking martial arts after work or something . . . unless you’re a part time actor, or a crafter, you have to find SOMETHING to freak out about. Offices are like adult versions of 9th Grade. Offices should be outlawed.
Oh yeah, the meeting. . .
Sometimes I claim I can’t leave my desk and have to do the lunch meeting over the phone. Often, that’s the truth– I’m running like a man with his pants on fire from the moment I arrive at work until the second I sprint to grab the early evening train home. My lunch time is the only time I have all day to stare into space, make funny faces in the tinted windows of my office, or play air guitar– I don’t want to spend my lunch hour patting myself on the back, or finding new things to worry about.
So, when I’m stuck in that phoned-in lunch meeting and I have to at least sound like I’m having the time of my life, I play with my magical Morph Pad. This thing is totally exciting– create sculptors that bend, fold, curve, twist and swirl to your whim. Its 1,000 sheets of paper, in multicolors that hypnotize. Okay, stacked paper what’s the big deal– seems pretty simple, but once you start creating, you can’t stop! But you’d better buy a few extra– office visitors are going to want to play with your artwork.
