Foiled!

That's right. My team and I tin foiled a fellow designer's cubicle. So here's the background: a fellow designer left for vacation this past week. He intends to return the Tuesday after Christmas. What he doesn't even know yet is that my boss, fellow designer and myself used over 500 square feet of tin foil and wrapped up EVERYTHING in his cube!

The pictures don't do it justice... We wrapped it all -- his phone, the mirror, his headphones, his hat, the action figures, the papers on his desk even the trash under it. We started around 3pm Wednesday afternoon and spent 3-4 hours wrapping. Then on Thursday we spent the entire day finishing it up.

$25 of tin foil and only 1.5 days of time ... not to shabby if I may say so myself. You can view all the pictures here:

Note - I'll be setting up a webcam and recording his reaction when he returns so SSSHHHH! don't tell him =)

wow! very nice.
I'd love to see yourself wrapped in foil as well, that'd be cool.
I'll be waiting for the vid of what happens when he comes back, just make sure you submit it to digg!

Make sure to rap the Web cam in tin foil too, just so it blends in so he can't notice it.

So I guess it's not too busy this time of year?! :)

Just a thought: soldiers in Iraq are getting killed daily by risking their lives defending our freedom and rights...and you meticulously wasted tinfoil in the pursuit of a joke and art! Great job you are really making a difference in the world!

Be sure to put a bow tie on the room so it looks as it was a wrapped present :)

If I tried this stuff when I was a teacher, I would have been fired ! ! And they say education should be more like the business world? LOL

I have the same mouse as the one in the pic..it's the best!

My husband did something similar for a "cubicle decorating" contest...he warns not to turn the machine on until after the foil is removed, or it'll arc.
