[ WE'RE BACK! IN STYLE ]

We're Back! Sorry for the ridiculously long hiatus. But, some exciting things have been happening at the office, and we collectively (as an office family) decided some blogging was in order.

First news first. It's kind of really sad in hind site, but was more just shocking at the time of occurrence.

Yesterday, we had a visit from a woman who drunkenly walked into our office (which we later came to find out she thought was her hotel), asked to use our restroom, couldn't effectively use the toilet so she used her pants instead, wandered around our first floor a bit, then was escorted, by the police, away from the building. As she was being arrested for drunk driving on a suspended license (and for having two warrants out for her arrest), she was talking about having two kids that she needed to pick up from school later in the afternoon. sad.

When I first got back from lunch and asked what was up when I saw the cop cars, Scott tried to convince me that Valarie, our receptionist, had tackled a woman who tried to pull a knife on her when she was buying some of our products.

"She had her in a choke hold like this!" he told the office as he animatedly roped his arm around the throat of an air-robber and whipped his body around. How awesome would that have been? Way cooler. Maybe we can hope for the for tomorrow...(start practicing Val).

Now to the more fun news. A couple weeks ago, Scott (the account manager who was just mentioned above) found a pair of protective eye-wear glasses in his desk. After the manner of standard protocol in any situation where funny eye wear is discovered, everyone in the office has had their picture taken in them. Well...everyone except for Mac, our most venerable owner; but I will post that as soon as we get it. Here are the shots for your viewing pleasure (in Alphabetical order):
