5 Simple Signs You’re Over Caffeinated
We’ve all been there. It is 3 p.m. Your appetite for food and blondes is only surpassed by Rosie O’Donnell’s, so you unwisely decided to eat nine slices of extra-cheese pizza at the restaurant down the street with the hot blonde waitress. She was unimpressed, but not as unimpressed as your boss will be if you do not stop falling asleep at your cubicle. You have fallen victim to a well-studied medical phenomenon: The Food Coma. You reach for your quick-fix: the ubiquitous energy-booster of choice — caffeine. It’s the most frequently used psychostimulant in the world. In the medical profession, this ...
An Epic Office Building Post-it Art Battle
Post-it notes. They're good for jotting down passwords, origami paper cranes, and insanely awesome office window art. Wait, did I just say "insanely awesome office window art"? Yes, I certainly did. Employees at two companies, Ubisoft Montreuil and BNP bank, both have neighboring office buildings in France.

A great battle ensued, and below you'll find a gallery of their creations, including Mario, Zelda, Sonic, Kirby, Donkey Kong, and more. Magnifique'! [nggallery id=86] [Source: L'Express.fr]

Here at Sheep Headquarters, we threw around some key names when considering who'd we want: Kimbo Slice, Chuck Norris, Tim Tebow, Bruce Lee's corpse, Mickey Rourke. But we decided on Rick Ross. ...
The Dreaded Work Email Chain
[caption id="attachment_11656" align="alignright" width="170" caption="Kill me."][/caption] A few weeks ago, the crime was committed. Someone had inadvertently "replied all" to the Human Resource email that provided an update on our 401K enrollment, sending out their personal information. One would think that this is not a big deal. You receive the email, read it, realize it is not for your eyes, delete the email, and move on. This is describing the ideal corporate email world. In reality, people read the email, and rather than delete it, continue the chain by replying all. Here is a recap, from my experience, on how quickly things can ...
