The Edge
Allow us to introduce Tom
Posted by Tom F. Olery on March 29, 2012Good tidings fellow M-Edge readers --though I believe "blogger" to be the more appropriate term these days. Let me first welcome you to my little corner of the interwebs. Here, I will delve into the various high jinks and shenanigans we here at M-Edge often find ourselves mixed up in. But I am getting ahead of myself, let me introduce Tom. Tom is me...I am Tom. Tom F. Olery to be exact. This is my alias, as it would be unwise for me to use my true identity. They are always on the hunt to discover who decorates the CEO's door in cat photos for each holiday-- more on this later. Continuing on, I am a voice in the creative entity known as the design team while moonlighting as one of the many office pranksters who roam the M-Edge halls. As you may have noticed by now, we embrace the "unique" and the "weird" in our family of hooligans. Each brings a very new and different personality to the show, and it makes for some delightful mischief.

And speaking of mischief, you are in for a treat. We have successfully accomplished our most ambitious and challenging caper to date. A bit of backstory-- several members of our design team including our CTO Adam had recently departed on an international adventure to expedite the development of our products for the new iPad-- a very noble cause. And while they were off doing assorted good deeds and acts of chivalry, we here at M-Edge could think of no more appropriate means to rewarding their hard work then to ramshackle their work spaces.
As you can see, we believe in working together to achieve greater goal. Members from every department, nearly the entire company, joined together in "redecorating" Adam, Chris and Dave's areas. In fact, it turned out to be a company sponsored event, including pizza, soda, and snacks. Roughly 5000 square feet of aluminum foil was used in wrapping Chris and Dave's desks, chairs, cups, coins books, computers, business cards, post-its and push-pins (don't worry you green folk, Chris has promised to use the spent foil to wrap his sandwiches for the next several years) while Adam's office received the deluxe treatment. We encased his furniture, chairs, plants, tables and even floor in a hodgepodge of returned or damaged jackets that we have stored in our warehouse. The grand total of jackets used neared the 4000 count by the time is was finished. I must admit...I get a little emotional every time I think about it. Anyhoo --I hoped you enjoyed this first installment of Mischief @ M-Edge. Until next time...
