How to Redecorate the Office When Everyone is Gone

How to Redecorate the Office When Everyone is Gone

Have you ever shown up to work at 10:30 on Friday morning and went looking to see if anyone else wants to go get donuts with you only to discover there is not a single living human-being in the entire office?

Only then, you check your calendar and remember that April 17th is National Cheeseball Day. Why did no one remind you!?

Well, perhaps the day is not a total loss. If everyone is gone, then there is no one to object to your plan to redecorate the office.

Here is how to redecorate your workplace on those days when you show up to find yourself completely alone (and without objection).

Peek into everyone's office and make sure they are gone. A good indication that they are not in the office is that their laptop and personal belongings are missing.

If their stuff is strewn about the office, then perhaps they went out to get donuts or are in the bathroom. Wait fifteen minutes and check again. Chances are you are not alone.

Awesome 'ible. Parts of it really made me laugh. Especially when I went to the Rasterbator website. There is an online version. Or you can "Rasterbate" offline with any resolution.. yeah.. maybe a new name.. Still.. Nice 'ible; keep up the good work.

Well on seeing the preview image for this instructable i thought you had ceramic tiles above your desk and you had drawn that image with a whiteboard marker, god knows why i thought that. Seems i can be very, very wrong haha

YES! Long live RASTERBATOR! And offices like that, too.

...and here's my pretty girlfriend rasterbated!

Once, I told my high school art teacher about the Rasterbator. Then, the last time I went checking the school (I graduated), its wall was covered with raterbation projects from student. It was very nice, a good change; the school was pityful and (more) boring otherwise.

It was not nicwe of the his office family to leave and not tell him. I bet his feeling were so hurt that he sat down and cried for along itme before he pushed away his anger and decided to brighten things up. What a kind forgiving person he is.. And all this kindess will come back to him 10 fold. Maj

If your are going to create a mural out of a bunch of sheets of letter paper, I'd suggest using http://homokaasu.org/rasterbator/

Here is an example on the one I made:
