Mel (a.k.a coworker and fellow production person Melyssa Holik): . . . and then do that with them; so what do you think?

Laura: I’m sorry Mel; I just blitzed out. . . . Could you say that again?

Mel: Oh, that’s OK. — Sorry, let me finish this Pringle. — It is ADHD Month, you know. Ha! I was just thinking how Pringles can look like ducks’ beaks if you try to talk with one hanging out of your mouth. . . .  So what did you need?

Laura: Sorry, let me just finish this email to. . . Um. . . so. . . what?

Mel: What did you need?

Laura: Oh. . .well. I think . . .what?

Mel: You asked me something?

Laura: Oh, yeah. . .I don’t remember. . . .  I think I just wondered what you said?

Mel: Oh, that. . . (laughs) I have NO idea!

Deadline Pressure meets Hat Day

January 15th, 2010

hat-day2Mel has this new calendar, see? And she told Melissa and me yesterday (which was Clean Your Desk Day, by the way) that today, January 15, is Hat Day. And we both forgot.

But, luckily, Melissa happened to have with her a multi-purpose scarf of versatility—which she was able to transform, impressively, with a flick of her wrist, into a sumptuous turban. And I had a pair of scissors and an old magazine from which I was able to fashion (ironic choice of words, considering the result) an almost-looks-beaded-if-you-squint-real-hard headband. And Mel was there, with her bona fide plaid cap, anchoring our Production Department Hat Day with haberdashery legitimacy.

No, of course, we don’t have time to be making and modeling hats. But we figure the endorphins from the laughter just might produce a surge in both creativity and productivity . . .

Photo: Perhaps I should be a bit more reluctant to post this, but here’s a shot of the three of us on this very busy, very silly day.
