Haha, well, yes I do mean this. Happy Holidays to everyone at NT!!!
However, I wanted to share with you all, a wonderful card I received from our graphics department.
I saw the title of the e-mail, and my devilish nature did the get the best of me. I couldn't wait to open it up.
What I saw, and what you will see ... will blow your mind away. It is Periodic Table Element Number 79.
I still don't know how to react to it.*
Without further adieu...
* My first reaction was to scream to myself in my head, near the decibel level of Wesley when the Count put him thru the "Machine" in the 'Princess Bride.' I then shortly got up after and left the office before I said/did something that would probably have caused me to lose my job.
Though technically my job is safe... I mean seriously, would you show anyone this? Let alone take credit and remind everyone you get paid to do this?! I would fire the entire department the instant I opened this up if I had the ability.
Also, I removed a logo to protect the innocent. A logo that was a greyscale representation of my company that wasn't dithered properly and must have been pulled from a .GIF image on some PowerPoint document was to the left of 'Dept.' - it actually gets worse.

At first, I was going to say are you Jewish or don't believe in Baby Jesus?! How about a Merry Christmas otherwise?

Thanks jevad. I don't believe I use the phrase much, but I sure as hell don't want to continue using it wrong going forward, haha.

Might make a good theme for this week's PSB, if we have one - 'who can make the crappiest christmas card?'

It's 10:43 PM in the Graphics Dept. Lisa and Corrine cannot agree...
Lisa: The "Happy Holidays" so needs a drop shadow.
Corrine: Lisa, *tsk *tsk, I think that's a little much don't you? I agreed to coloring the stockings differently, I let that go. But now you're asking for a drop shadow. You're killing me here, girl friend.
Lisa: Oh c'mon, Christmas, er... the holidays only come once a year. Management asked for something fun, let's give'em the real deal.
(Corrine pokes through the 3-hours cold Chinese take-out container)
Corrine: Aw dammit, you ate all the snap peas again.
Look, I realize the only cards I give my family are blue with pictures of dredels on them, but even I know when a full on holiday card is over the top. Every designer's instinct in my body says to stop at the beveling and liberal dispersal of snowflakes.Lisa: Listen, as the chosen designers of this years card, we have to show the true depth we possess as creatives. Anyone worth their salt knows that drop shadowing is an indication of depth. It'll make that greeting just leap off the card and the viewer will be snookered into thinking they are actually within the card itself, ready to drop little gifts into our stockings hung with care.
Corrine: (Throws head back) Fine! I will add the shadow.
Lisa: Yay! Yeah...there we go. No wait, don't use the default 120 degree angle, move it around so it looks like the light is coming from....YES that's it! It's perfect. Absolutely perfect.
Lisa & Corrine: God bless us, everyone!

harlequino, hahahaahaaahaha ahahhaha oh man. I'm crying.
Nairn, haha, yea, I thought of this as a possible PSB Prospect but couldn't hold it under wraps any longer.
"mpfree", hrm, my scissa is coming into town Thursday then I'm bouncing out of town the 26th. I don't know if I'll have time to hit up a game until 2007. :X
