So I Tinned My Boss’ Office Today
I got a lot of stuff done today at work. I did a lot of organizing to get ready for a big ramp up of one of my projects. I also wrote a lot of documentation to present to the VP of Operations. Speaking of the VP of Operations…it just so happens to be his birthday tomorrow. So after work, I took the time to show my appreciation for him. I tinned his office. What’s tinning you ask? Well unfortunatel I didn’t have my camera but these are some before and after stills taken with my phone cam:
Before:
Here’s a picture of his desk — It’s kind of grainy but you can see that his desk has a bunch of paper on it and pics of his daughter affixed to his monitor

and after— If we had enough time we would have wrapped everything in foil but as you can see, we got the major items. I even took the pics of his daughter and tinned them before reaffixing them to the monitor.

BEFORE: You’ll notice how disorderly his desk appears

After: You’ll notice how disorderly his desk appears. Also you’ll notice that we managed to get a copy of his prom picture which we promptly blew up and affixed to EVERYTHING. If I was the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz this would totally be soft porn on Cinemax for me.

There’s my partner in crime Chaz, hard at work putting the finishing touches on the Tin Man’s Getaway. Note to anyone attempting this… make sure to take care of the big items first: 1) They eat up a lot of tin (thankfully we purchased 800 square feet, which would easily cover a fair sized apt in NYC) 2) The Big Items give a nice fully shimmering appearance and make the hour and 20 minutes it takes to do a job look a lot better

In this last picture, you’ll notice that the only things shinier than all of the wrapped electronics and furniture, are my teeth. It looks like I’m 5 minutes away from tearing open purchased wares from the world’s greatest bake sale.

NOTE: There were two final touches that I didn’t get pictures of:
1) I purchased a bottle of 3 dollar grape juice in a wine bottle and tinned it. I placed a post it on it wishing my VP happy b-day and signing it with my direct boss’ name
2) My VP has a reserved space right at the front of the building. Chaz and I took one of the VPs pre-pubescent pictures and ceran wrapped it to the reserved sign. I was also thinking about getting about 50 helium filled balloons and attaching them each to 100 foot strings and attaching them to the sign but I think the tinning and the ceran wrapped kinda covered it.
MANY THANKS TO RHO STUDIOS FOR THIS AWESOME IDEA

A sort of footnote for Al’s final two notes:
1.) I removed the Happy B-day note from “me” that they left on the $3 dollar bottle of grape juice BEFORE the VP of Operations ever saw it. I need to preserve my plausible deniability in this whole situation.
2.) I took a picture of what Al and Chaz did to the VP’s reserved parking sign and cellblocked it to this site. You can check out their handiwork in the cellblock area.
Thank you for trying to get my husband fired.
