i hardly got any work done today [working]

so for work there's this dumb thing called 'the breakfast club' where a bunch of old office ladies get together once a quarter to have a shit breakfast. even before i changed my diet, i thought the restaurant was a poor choice but some of these ladies really love it. it's also mostly 'alumni' now, people who no longer work there. i think some people have been coming to the club longer than the time they worked on campus! it's getting ridiculous. all they do is talk about their kids and stuff so i just play with my food. anyway, it was a little different this time. it was supposed to be a good-bye to the big boss lady who's retiring but she was out sick. we got together some things for her to wear to embarrass her and instead put them on ourselves and took pictures for her to see what she missed. i took a picture of her in her office, scanned it, and made a little mask thing. they called it her proxy. everyone took turns taking their picture with the proxy.

in the afternoon, i spent my time working on something in photoshop for the big boss lady's retirement party next week. the office has been collecting donations for a gift and have done quite well in this endeavor. they're going to present the gift at the party and decided that most of it should be cash, as the big boss lady will be going on vacation in europe and could use some euros. we're calling it, 'a fistful of euros'. playing with this theme, i found a poster for 'a fistful of dollars' and modified it. first, i removed all the text. then i did a lousy job making clint eastwood cleanshaven. after that, i superimposed the big boss lady's face onto clint's--surreal! it blended so well that most people i showed it to didn't even know it was a morph. i had to point out that only the mouth was really clint's but the rest belonged to the big boss lady. i hope she enjoys the humor.
