Here in our office, there is a blue plastic soldier which has been hanging from the ceiling by his parachute for almost a decade. Since his eyes never close, he has seen it all. He's witnessed the dot com boom and the subsequent bust, six releases of Photoshop, a doubling of the office population and a thirty percent reduction in male hairlines. He's overlooked countless frantic Mondays and relaxed through the relative calm of ten holiday season workweeks. He looks wizened. I often wonder, if his blue plastic vocal cords worked, what he'd say. Well, other than “Cut me down you imbeciles!”
