The Artist In The Office Link Special!

To all of you creative types out there, who still appreciate a certain arty distraction to get them through the usual work day, I offer you, Jeffrey Yamaguchi's excellent Working for The Man. Jeffrey is the godfather of artists in the office everywhere. I kiss his pinky ring! I am just going to warn you that this is a funny as hell, creative, and timely book, but like a pair of jeans, don't get caught with it at the office! I think everyone can get something out of it. Except maybe your boss. Well, secretly, your boss would get it too. In fact, it might just be a great WHITE ELEPHANT gift at the next Holiday Party. Just an idea!

FYI--Jeffrey's not really as alt-rock looking as I depicted him here, nor is his ear physically THAT close to his face--but what can you do, when you're pretending to write a very DETAILED note to someone on a post-it note?

Other things you might very much get a kick from:
Ladies and Gentleman, I give you The Office Sign Project. I so wish I had known about it when I was working at my last job, because the drama of the unwashed cup was always playing out in "anonymous" signs.

Thanks to Jeffrey's blog, I discovered Save The Assistants. This is something so close to my heart I almost LOST IT when I read about it. I could write an entire BOOK about the relationship between assistants and their bosses--both from personal experience and from years of working with other assistants. Why there isn't more support for assistants is BEYOND ME. I thank the sweet stars for this effort.

Now, back to work!
