[CONTEST] Win a "Skeleton Office" Prize Pack from CyberINK Online

This contest has ended. Thanks to everyone who participated with your comments. Stay tuned for more great giveaways coming soon!

“Creativity always dies a quick death in rooms that house conference tables” is a quote from Bruce Herschensohn that appeared in the New York Times on April 2, 1975. Apparently Bruce never had the chance to witness this creative response from our newest sponsor, CyberINK Online.  These skeletons might look dead, but their vibrant colors and gestures will bring life to your office, especially when I tell you that this is a prize pack featuring the following 3 items: 

Colorful 18"x24" print
Comfy 4 finger coffee mug
Cushy mouse pad


"CyberINK is a woman-owned, 15-year-old company in the Chicago Metro Area that sells quirky skeleton-themed products to people, museums and book stores. Since 2006, CyberINK has also been an independent publishing company that publishes books on a variety of topics. Owner Jean Latz Griffin, former Chicago Tribune reporter, has certified geek credentials and is working on a novel of historical fiction that includes talking cats and shy owls."

Skellies working hard discussing what to eat for lunch !

Setting: (On the cup/poster/mousepad)

Head skeleton: Douglas, where are we with that report?

Douglas [flustered]: We're just compiling the survey responses now, Sir. Data acquisition is complete on my end. Bradley is processing the data and sending it on to Debra who will complete the analysis and present best practices.

Debra [mockingly]: Meh, meh. "Durtah Arquirdition...I'm Dougie. Besth Pwacticies.

Douglas: Excuse me, Debra? Did you have something to add?

[Debra shuffles papers on the desk and flicks off Douglas secretively.]

Douglas: Very mature. You know, I'm tired of the irresponsibility of some people here.

Bradley [mockingly]: I'm Dougie,I'm tired of blah blah, waah, wah! All I do is collect surveys but then I act like I actually do something. [Straightening up and raising an eyebrow] If you're tired of us, just imagine how tired we are of you, Mr. Best Practices. What does that even mean? We sell cupcakes. CUPCAKES. I mean, why are we having board meetings? We have one store, and it's run by Uncle Phil here. [Gestures to the head of the table.]

Uncle Phil: You do kind of have your drawers in a bunch, Doug. How much data do we need on icing preference?

Doug [obviously flustered]: This is a business, we need to run it like a business.

Debra: Shove a cupcake in your hole, Dougie. You don't do anything but write up reports. I mean what the eff is Data Acquisition. You asked 20 people about German Chocolate cupcakes and they all said the same thing: German Chocolate cupcakes have coconut icing on them. I mean give it a rest. Bake a cupcake once in a while, you weirdo.

Doug [to Uncle Phil]: Sir, are you going to let her talk to me like that? That should be grounds for dismissal. I demand that you ask for her resignation.

Phil [shaking his head]: Doug, I'm not firing your sister.

Doug [standing up quickly]: I'm reporting this to HR.

Brad: Aunt Mary is at yoga, you'll have to wait until she gets back. [under his breath] Weirdo.

(And scene!)

This is a meeting of upper management types - notice the one skelly at the end of the table. The head skelly has gathered his group to inform them of the spectacular salary increase they will give themselves this year. Notice the gestures from head skelly (why it's a great idea) and the other skellys clapping their hands (we agree)

They're trying to figure out why their insurance company is losing money.

Maybe it's the skull and crossbones logo. Maybe it's the company name, "Best Death Insurance".

The skully-heads are probably meeting about this year's Halloween.

Social Justice Social Worker said...

They're discussing ways to boost staff morale, including upping calcium intake, installing skeleton-friendly gravestones in all the restrooms, and whether 13 or 666 ravns would be a better number for the office Halloween party.
