Corporate Cuts: Please Spare the Bathrooms
I understand the need for corporate to trim the fat. In the two years I've been with my company, we've gone from being a husky male to emaciated. There's no more personnel to cut, so corporate is trying to become more creative. But last month they went further than thought possible and I learned a few things along the way. There was no formal announcement, but I quickly noticed there was a change. The bathroom started to smell like a truck stop.

Off-campus lunch: Not as innocent as you think
[caption id="attachment_1011" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Looks delicious, right? This could be making your coworkers hundreds a year."][/caption] I've been a part of my team for two years now, and I thought things were going great. Actually, most of the time they are. Everyone gets along most of the time, we crack jokes and even have the weekly food order at a local restaurant. You know what I'm talking about.

Must Watch: Signs
[caption id="attachment_983" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Signs - directed by Patrick Hughes"][/caption] "Signs" is a must-watch video for all of you office goers. It's a short film about your average Joe Cubicle, and his unique communication with the girl next door. Did I mention its a 2009 Cannes Lions winner? With the plethora of garbage videos polluting YouTube, it nice to know that you can still find that diamond in the rough. Take 10 minutes to watch this during your lunch break. You won't be disappointed. Related posts:Video: The best fails of 2009
Auto Tuning at Work
[caption id="attachment_788" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Move over T-Pain"][/caption] The awesome guys over at Vimeo put up this entertaining clip of some office auto tuning antics awhile ago, but it's still more than TCS worthy. Move over T-Pain - there's a new kid in town. And his names Jack. I know, I know. Auto tuning is sooooo 2009. But for those of you who want to know how to auto tune your own vocals like T-Pain, Cher, or Daft Punk , you're welcome. Related posts:Top Super Bowl Commercials Worth Talking About
