   The hamster wearing glasses? Oh that’s Roger. The polaroid? Lucy’s career breaker. Oh Roger, you should have been born a rat.

   Heather always knew working without pants on was risky, but what she never counted on was Phil have a Polaroid camera.

    Mr. Snuggles never really liked company policy. Now, with the photo, he finally had the leverage he needed to get Cindy to go out with him for drinks after work.

    Tired of co-workers making fun of his glasses, Frank decided to get some photographic proof of what really goes on in the break room. Suddenly, he is no longer known as “Frankie Four-Eyes”.

    Louis didn’t understand that measuring up as the guinea pig for the new corporate photo policy was such a literal job description.

    The photo is for my attorney. It is not appropriate to measure applicants during the interview.
