Today is the day the producers for Business Now go roaming through our offices, filming a segment for Tech TV. While its a great opportunity for the company, I’m kinda missing the personality the office showed before it got spiffed up for its close-up shot. The walls have been scrubbed clean. Most of the desks are clean. The pig’s sty of a snack area has been cleaned up and is now spotless.
Now the cleanliness is all fine and good, but the bell we ring for sales has been taken down. The white board, typically sporting clever movie quotes, has been wiped clean. Even the humor I added to the break-room bulletin board (an airline safety card printout to go with the other official notices), has been taken down. Bummer.
The saving grace is that my buddy Greg came in unshaved and wearing one of his festive shirts. He panicked when he remembered today was filming day, and ran out to grab some shaving cream.
I wish I would’ve stopped him before he cleaned himself up. We’re gonna come off looking like dorks if the film crew doesn’t have anything interesting to film. Maybe I’ll spill coffee on my slacks so I can walk around the rest of the day with no pants.
Like you need an excuse to walk around wearing no pants….
