2007Talks to decorate writers’ office enter 11th dayImaginasium copywriters Drew Williams and Eric Severstad have now entered their 11th day of negotiations to choose a décor both can agree upon for their shared office space. With the recent installation of post-modernist galvanized metal shelving, the pressure to put something relevant on them is palpable. Both parties have publicly conceded that great obstacles to reaching a consensus exist. “Eric’s a qualified writer, all about producing work that makes a tangible impact on the client’s bottom line,” said Williams, “but I’m a little concerned about his ideas of what makes an office cool. A picture of your wife on your wedding day? Your Disc Golf discs? A cup to hold your pens? Please. Still, I’m confident we can work something out.” Severstad was admittedly less hopeful about the most recent rounds of negotiations. “If this guy thinks I’m going to let him decorate my workspace with ridiculous junk, he’s whacked,” Severstad said. “Yesterday, he put up a headless clay turtle he made in second grade. Monday it was resin-cast statuette of Princess Leia in the metal slave bikini from Return of the Jedi, and last Friday it was a dried monkey. No way, dude.” Talks are scheduled to proceed through July. |
