The Chairs of Beige

Another brilliant undercover report from the beige by a fellow inmate. Try to make sense of the color scheme. I challenge you.

Chairs, not People

related item, in a memo sent out to the hangar, an excerpt.

Herman Miller, our National furniture vendor, will be on site to "educate" all employees on the proper use of your desk chair. Please look for further communication about this. In the interim instructional tags are attached to all chairs if required prior to this.

I am deeply depressed by these chairs. I myself sit in a very expensive state of the art, ergonomically corrective chair in the land of the sirs. My chair could be transformed into a weapon with a few tools. There is sadness today. Listless depressions. A limp lament.

Ham, concentrate on forming the weapon chair today. This could be a form of conceptual art-making, no? I am sorry to hear of the listless lament. Yesterday's decline has dissipated on my end, due to no beige for several days forthcoming. It is the same for you, yes?

It is so important for the children of today to receive high-quality chair-education.

HP, you must partake of a tendril! Or maybe 2, even. Big Sloth-squeeze.

yes, days off and festivities are around the corner, 8 hours away. I may attempt surfing. Thanks for the reminder. I probably should sneak outside on the "official business" of mind maintenance.

sloth said...

Yes, the site does seem to be un-linked. Perhaps the administrator is doing some tinkering.

fairy butler said...

My mind maintanence is taking the form of shopping at the aveda store later this afternoon. The FB has to meet with an unknown at the hotbox tonight for dork show. This is happy/sad.

fairy butler said...

HP, how is the weapon chair coming along?

It is hard to cut plastic with plastic take out knife. I WILL NOT GIVE UP.

Is there a part of the chair that you can hone into a long pointy spike? I think you should joust.

I'm pimping my chair right now.

FB, I love the story of the chairs. It is poignant and wistful.

I just checked the current weather conditions on the internet. It could be warm and sunny outside, or there could be a hurricane; you'd never know from where I'm sitting.

Party at the beige today, at the Mall Overlook. Booze and a popcorn machine, and people you would never want to know personally talking about their kids. Getting drunk now.

The beige party is not unwelcome. Nice diversionary blah-blah.

Hammy, we work on your special magic potions here at my beige. I was very excited to see that.

If i didn't know otherwise, I'd say the photos were faked. A "pretend' office when in reality it's one of those overpriced furniture behemoths on Lafayette St!

Point of interest FB...in your first comment regarding the Herman Miller vendor coming on-site...were the "quotes" around "educate" from thew original, or your own added snark?

fairy butler said...

this is not fake. the quotes are on the original document. the chairs are here and lining up, frolicking. no joke.
