That settles it.

I have managed to make tiny rubber ducks an official geometric reference point on all robotic cameras at WGN. The word "duck" is actually inscribed upon the floor in studios 1-3 at all of the various camera pedestal locations, and also mentioned many times in the code which runs the robots. The stagehands at WGN now refer to the home-front position of each camera as "the duck."







(Mind you, these are gruff old IATSE union stagehands. And yet I have made them giggle like children.)



We also have a room which is dubbed the "Kool-Aid room." It's a large storage closet on the 2nd floor, which had no room number when I got here, but did have jagged a hole in the wall caused by careless application of a pallet jack. So I printed a photo of kool-aid man and stuck it to the wall with 3M spray adhesive. Now, when you say "It's in the kool-aid room," everyone knows exactly what you mean.



I am going to make it my new mission to somehow integrate the phrase "the cat's ***" into official station documentation. I don't know how just yet, but it's going to happen.



Why bother going to work if you're not going to make it humorous?

 

Innovation.

 

 

 

 

I'd say someone was bored during a Zoom conference.

^ Yeah, I'm approaching that point myself.

 

 

 

^That might be the best meme I've ever seen. And if you're under the age of 30 and have to ask...

 

I'm over 30, but still had to reverse image search it. There are people over 30 who were born after that movie came out.
