While You're Away...

Wes kindly felt that I might get lonely this week, being the only editor of either magazine not at Gen Con. In order to alleviate that, he and Jason decided that I needed someone (or something) to keep me company.

Thus my surprise Wednesday morning when I walked into the editorial area and saw this. Yep, that's my cube. It's the first one you see when walking into the editorial area. Yes, those are all the little plush animals and monsters and some of the plastic figurines from the area, taken from the desks of James, Jason, Jeremy, Wes, and myself.

This is what's behind me. Jason's desk is there on the left and Wes's on the right. The fat yellow chicken's name is Tumor.

This is my cube wall. All the little beanies from the squirrel right are Jeremy's. Those from the leapard left are mine. That's right, you'll recognize Disney characters on that wall. :)

And here we see George W., the vorpal bunny, and the red devil ducky (all from Jason's desk) overlooking my Player's Handbook. Yes, I cropped this to show off my precious CMS. My Precioussssssss...

The wackiness of the editorial department knows no bounds! Now to return all these little guys to their proper cubes... :D

Just goes to show you that Editorial has waaaaaay too much time on its hands. From now on, I'm forwarding all customer service phone calls to randomly selected editors.

Is that a "Dragon Magazine 2004 Schedule" on your wall?

Dude! It's like 2005, man...

You know what we REALLY need to get up on the website are some of James Jacob's sticky-note cartoons... I swear that his shocker lizards are practically magazine-worthy....

Mike? Wanna scan some of those and upload 'em? :)

What? No! I have a 2005 schedule on my wall, and a 2006 schedule buried under all those old Dragons on the corner of my desk. No 2004, though, because--as you pointed out--it's 2005. :)

You know, the traditional time to stage a coup is when "El Supremo" leaves the capital...

I suggest that you use your legion of plushies to seize control of the radio and TV stations first :)

Mike's siezed control of his truck... the regular editorial staff has left the building, leaving me and a tiny bamboo plant to run the magazines. The time IS ripe for a coup, if only the two of us can overcome our idealogical differences....

I suspect the plant is an idealist, if you simply publicly announce your commitment to the phyotosynthetic process it will likely back you. By the time it realizes how deeply you have consolidated your grip it will be too late.

Remember, nitrogen is the opiate of the people...

And remember...if you stuff it in the closet for a couple of days, it may even desire to come over to your side and volunteer to 'see the light'.

I tried that with Wes already. It only sort of worked.

Nice desk, Mike. Gotta say, you gotta lot more space to post stuff than I do. I am sooooo jealous.

How's this for irony ... the mucky-mucks at my work place just issued a decree today that all our desk areas need to be cleaned up, including the removal of non-work related photographs and all Christmas decorations that are still up. I think if they saw all your plush toys, they'd have an absolute stroke. (Of course, that would solve the problem of their rather tyrannical decree ....)

You and James hang loose.

Ouch.... I made a vow a while ago never to work in an office that had clean-desk policies or stringent dress codes. I mean, I guess Paizo kinda has a dress code, but I'm not sure "hide your shame" counts.

Well, to be honest, until today, so did I.
