I have some experience with Post-It Notes in the office, and though that achieved international recognition, it doesn’t quite compare to what we see in this video. Our 5,300 Post-It Notes just don’t compare the 280,951 we see slinking across the screen now.

And it did. To each one of them in turn. 1,100 square feet of tinfoil covered everything in Ken’s office. 5,300 […] » about 200 words
I don’t work for central IT anymore, but they still invite me to their holiday party. And no office holiday party would be complete without a yankee swap.
