Hopefully sometime soon we will get our own cubes, I’ll get my own phone, and then I can request cards that don’t have typos. ---

My department (product assurance) once won a tacky Plexiglas-looking cube emblazoned with the words - “Qualty Award” Department head mentioned in front of the whole company, that if they would have run it by us first we’d have filed a bug-report on the spelling error. ---

Maybe I could just tell people that Deisgner isn’t my title, but my weapon. You know, like Gugnir. ---

Absolutely. My wife thinks I’d get a lot of blank stares, and she’s probably right, but I’m OK with that. ---
