reflecting on some good times

like i said, i’m going to miss jupiter. this whole missing-something has got me thinking about all the good times i had here in my practically lifelong 4 months career i spent on this advertising planet. :

– planting the fart machine under the mike during the Good Hope FM broadcast

– strapping the fart machine to Nicole and following her around the office with the remote

– making giant cut-outs of Jason’s head and carrying them around Margate at the Loerie Awards

– taking the giant cut-out of Jason’s head to agency lunches and not inviting Jason

– giving my Traffic Manager Sarah all my lunch scraps

– framing a pic of an erect penis, putting it on Fred’s desk and waiting a whole day for him to notice

– moving the framed penis to the design studio and watching Jo notice the penis while showing a client around  and pulling a quick ‘hey look over there’ while pointing in opposite direction

– planting the framed penis on the new guy’s desk and watching him say nothing about it for fear of ‘being uncool’
