Standing desks have become more popular in recent years as people realize they shouldn’t be wasting all their time sitting. Sit incorrectly, and you can do a lot of damage to the muscles or bones in your back, shoulders, arms…the list goes on.
Some people have bad backs, and standing is better for them. Some just don’t like to think about their weight and how sitting all day doesn’t help. We don’t know what camp this guy falls into, but he was ready to make a change. What is that, a drop floor? We don’t know how he did this, and we wouldn’t recommend it unless you really, really want a standing desk.
We Need a Tribute
What looks like a highly-decorated tissue box is actually a way to decide where to go to eat. Anybody who works in an office knows that it can be difficult to pick where to take their lunch break, especially if you live in a city and there are dozens, if not hundreds, of options.
This office came up with something they call “The Hungry Games.” Maybe not the most creative name, but it doesn't have to be. All they have to do to pick a place to eat is reach a hand in and pull out a slip of paper. The box will deliver an option.
A Ball Pit for the President
What to get for the company president who has everything? He already runs a company. What else could there possibly be? Well, if he's a kid at heart, why not make his office into a huge ball pit just for him? That's what has happened here, and by all accounts, it looks like the choice was a smash hit.
The story says that the president is a “giant kid,” so we doubt it took that long for the office as a whole to come up with the idea. Also, where do you get that many colorful balls? We imagine you can just find them online, but there must be THOUSANDS there!
Shane Is a Fun Guy
You may think that Shane should have been fired a long time ago, but don't worry. We have the scoop behind this series of hilarious grocery store images.
“Shane” likely isn't a real person. You'll notice that the “Management” writing is all in the same handwriting. Our guess is that one employee decided to have a bit of fun and came up with the Shane persona, writing messages to this person about things that didn't happen. Even at a Walmart (where this supposedly happens), a manager would much more likely take the worker aside, not write a public message.
What Is This? A Desk for Ants?
No, nobody is expected to work at this desk. Though it would be hilarious to see a guinea pig wander up and start hammering out emails. As you can tell from the second picture, this is a recreation of a coworker's desk that happened while that coworker was on vacation.
The man working in the second picture is an art director. The vacationing worker's coworkers also moved his actual desk, replacing it with this way shrunk version. Whether they had those little bits lying around or they scrambled to make a tiny Apple monitor after he left, it's pretty impressive. As long as they bring his old desk back.
