 Look Again

My last post was kind of an experiment and it involved.. well.. an intentional deception! Please forgive me but it was too interesting of an experiment to pass up. But now I am feeling guilty for my trickery and must come clean.

So, they are about to remodel our cubicles at work, but the picture below is not of my workplace... in fact, it isn't even me! Dun Dun Duuuuunnnn!!!!

That guy in the picture down there just looked a lot like me and I wondered if he were so close to looking like me that people wouldn't even notice. So I decided to try it. Way2brite and I were talking on the phone when she saw it and she immediately knew it wasn't me, hence her playful comments below. But otherwise, it looks like it may have snuckered some of you. Anyway, it's a strong resemblance, but I have a larger cranium, longer face, and hairier arms. Also, I would never wear brown shoes with grey pants.

Anyway... I'd be interested in your reactions now, if you thought it was me, didn't think it was me or not supposed to be me, or if you didn't pay attention to the guy and just looked at the workspace. If you feel duped and you want some recompense, I'll buy you a cup of Amy's ice cream and give you an apology card. Just let me know.

I found this picture in this article, slide 3, http://www.wired.com/culture/lifestyle/multimedia/2007/11/gallery_saddest_cubicle?slide=1&slideView=7, which is about the saddest cubicle competition.

Peace out.

nope. I just thought, "Why did Dan take a picture of some other guy in his cube? That's odd."

Actually, I didn't notice the guy in the picture, but that probably is because he does look somewhat like you.  I was looking more at the mess surrounding you. :)

I just thought the camera caught you with a very strange look on your face, thus making you look not quite like yourself.. of course I didn't comment on that, though, because that would have seemed a little rude..

nice deception, though. very nice :)

well i haven't seen you in years. and you don't have a pic of you on your xanga, so ya know. i just thought maybe you had changed a lot. i was honestly surprised about the thumbs up, cause that doesn't seem like you.

yeah i was actually going to ask you if that guy was single b/c he was kinda cute but then i was like what if it's just a really weird angle and that was really you?  um that would be weird.  i thought maybe it was a coworker in an adjacent cubicle hence my vague comment. 

hmm... interesting i noticed the pants and shoes not matching too.

Yeah, there's a definite resemblance though.  You can still buy me some ice cream, punk.

i thought, "he looks really different there." i actually stared at it a while. i thought that it'd just been a long time since i saw you and i'd already forgotten what you look like. haha. the guy does look a lot like you...
