Boxes = Records Management
(Who thinks of this crap?)

Ok people, so what does this look like to you?




Boxes you say? Well that's what they would have you believe. Today strolling through the hallways of the corporate wasteland that I fondly call work, I locked eyes with what any normal person would consider boxes.

But alas, some marketing genius had labeled these company boxes "Records Management".

A box. Records management.......hmmm...... That box company is genius!! Now they can sell the same box that is normally .45 cents for $1.50! With such an important name you could never doubt its usefullness to your operations.

And I began to think, have we begun given useless job labels out now to even inanimate objects in the office to give them relevance? What kind of society are we in that feels that we must place the utmost importance on any object.....down to the lone thumbnail on the cork board.

Thumbnail you say? It is no longer a thumbnail, but a Paper Security Fastner Expert. Don't you dare consider demeaning it!

Ok, so I know I am pretty much rambling nonsense here but come on, what other excitement do I have in this hole they call an office.

I just wish I had thought of the box thing first.
