Larry Oce

24Jun08

So we have this printer/copier in our Engineering department.

And they moved it into an empty cube.  Every time I pass that cube, I think to myself, they’re replacing us with machines, one by one.

After awhile I came to accept that this was simply the way of the future and that I should embrace “Larry” as a member of our team.  I think Larry himself has become more comfortable in his cube too.

He’s begun to decorate, to bring in a few personal touches. 

A drawing by his daughter, Jackie, his favorite pens, a calender…..

Today Larry brought in some lovely photos of his wife, Whitney.

Here’s their wedding, and below, that’s their honeymoon.

And I’ve come to realize that maybe, Larry the copier/printer and I aren’t really all that different.

 

I’ve also come to realize that ‘Rezzie and I might have too much time on our hands.

    You forgot a picture of the kid.
    Jackie is too young to fax.

  3. I can’t handle the awesomeness of the picture Jackie drew. Honestly. HONESTLY.

  4. ‘Rez – Totally awesome kind of way.

    Cols – Ok. We’ll get on that.

    ‘Rez – She likes to draw, maybe we’ll see more of her work.

    Just think, if you and Rez had even more time on your hands, you could take over the world!!!!

  21. So I was revisiting the ProjectVJ blogs I’ve created so far, and I cannot believe I forgot about Larry and Whitney. I’m laughing all over again, and marvelling at the pictures. Where shall we have Larry & Whitney Oce go on their next trip? Give me a suggestion, Veaj, and I’ll give you a picture. I think it might be a family vacation, by the way.

  22. I think Larry might have some good pictures from the company Christmas party.
