"At a previous job, we had to let a guy go that just wasn’t really capable of keeping up with the work-load. He was let go, and one day one of us went into his desk drawers to find something… We discovered a collection of post-it-notes, where he had drawn (or I should say attempted to draw) little portraits of almost everyone in the office. He wasn’t a very good artist, and we all got a good chuckle, because it was impossible to tell who almost anyone was without the names he had written at the top of each one. He hadn’t done them to be mean…

We surmised that he likely just spent a lot of his time he was supposed to be working… drawing instead but looking like he was working… We are talking there was like 50-60 post-it-note portraits. Most people kept theirs for a while afterward."
