Shattered Sun

I work in an area of the office where my boss’s office is connected to our main office space and my office is connected to his and the warehouse. Recently, we started renovating and he got tired of the traffic going through his office to get to mine and decided that he’d close up one of his doors. I had no problem with this, but now everyone has to walk through the warehouse to get to us “in the back” as it were. Of course, this has caused some unrest with the natives as most of them have “auto pilot paths” that bring them to the newly closed off door and they have to reroute every time. My coworker that shares my office with me suggested that we take a photo of our boss’ office and then have that blown up with a fake “door” on it. Then we could attached it to the wall where the door used to be and see how many people tried to walk through it when they weren’t paying attention. It was an idea straight out of the Loony Toons cartoons!

For the most part, I figured it couldn’t be done, but then I found Wallhogs. It could make our plan a reality fairly quickly! And for the price, it’d be a steal as a prank! At least the plan is doable. I don’t know if the office would be very happy with me after it was done though. I can tell you that my boss would get a kick out of it, lol.

In non-work/prank related stuff, would this not be the coolest thing to do for a child’s room? I mean, say they simply adore construction trucks, you could take some photos of the big rigs and then have a Wallhog made up for it. Hang it up and Viola, instant Cool Parent status. And when I have a house, I might do something like this for the photo studio, with the prints being rotating images of scenery that I’ve taken. Think of them as really cool custom backgrounds for portraits. Edit: Okay, for the backgrounds, I’d have to attach them to something since the Wallhog only can be reattached five times, but I’m sure I can press J into service for creating me something to attach them to.

At the ripe age of 27 (three weeks til 28!), I am being told that I may be considered too young to adopt children. I know for a fact that we’re too young to adopt from China and it hurts to think that we should wait til we’re in our thirties. It’ll be like having a second family since Sam will be 14 and Zack will be 10 when I hit 30. Figure in the time it takes to go through an adoption from start to finish and Sam could very well be finishing up high school before we had a child. What do you do in a situation like that? I’ve seen with my younger sisters that having children too far apart makes them disconnected in ways that aren’t fixable. I can tell you that my sisters and I are definitely in different stages of life right now. Maybe it won’t be so much of a big deal when we’re adults, but currently, the age gap sucks. Guess I should get my mom’s opinion since she’s the oldest of 9 children and there is quite an age gap between her and the youngest one.

What would y’all do? Go for the whole adoption thing or just hang it up and wait for the grandchildren?
