picture day
Jason: I have to have my picture taken by a professional photographer at work tomorrow.
Me: What for?
Jason: Our work website.
Me: That’s cool.
Jason: Yeah. Someone sent out a link to another company’s website, and when you clicked on an employee’s name, 4 different pictures rotated through. The first photo was serious, then the rest were goofy poses.
Me: Wow, fancy.
Jason: Yeah. And when they said to dress business casual, they also said to bring props.
Me: Props? What kind of props?
Jason: I don’t know.
Me: Like your high school football jersey?
Jason: Ha!
Me: Maybe you should bring a pipe!
Jason: Um, no.
Me: What are you going to do then?
Jason: The only thing I can do. Bring my guitar and a Trans Am.
Ha! I’d laugh at a pipe photo or one with a baby doll. Or your man you pass back and forth.

But of course the guitar and Trans Am. What else? You guys crack me up.

Shannon,
Yes! He should’ve brought The Thing! Oh, the missed opportunity!

I worked with a Sales Rep at a previous job and on the Rep Firm web site they all had Glamour Shots photos. The owner was the only male and all of his poor female reps had to go get Glamour Shots. Horrible.
If only The Thing would have gone with Jason today. That would have been awesome!

Ugg, I was TOTALLY going to suggest The Thing!
One of the most popular senior picture props in my high school was a FOUR WHEELER. Oh god.

Oh the hysteria!!

Hahah!! You MUST post the pictures. I have a Christmas card photo TM and I took that involves a sled. It is hilarious and once it’s scanned I’m going to post it so you all can have a good laugh at my expense.

The Thing would have been awesome! Either way it sounds like a cool idea. I’m assuming this is for their employee directory thing. Ours is incredibly lame, and only features people who worked here during this certain brief time period since HR kind of lost interest in it shortly after taking all of our photos. Pointless.
