Whiteboard Graffiti
The Sales team here at the office has a whiteboard on which they frequently write “inspirational” messages that, while they are no doubt deeply profound and life-changing to the sales staff, are impenetrably baffling for the rest of us. But the white board seems to have fallen out of favor in recent weeks, because it’s had the same message posted on it for weeks now:
“I’ll get you, Harry Potter!” — Lord V.
Every day I come in and look at that, and every day it just seems … incomplete. So yesterday, I completed it. I added a line to it:
“You’ll get me what? A prezzie???” — Harry P.
No one else in the office has noticed. They probably never will. But every time I walk by and see it now, I get a secret little smile out of it.
I do similar things. For example, I like to rearrange pushpins on an empty bulletin board into the shape of the big dipper, just to see if anyone notices.
No one ever does, but I amuse myself.
