I’m So Much Prettier When I’m Airbrushed

by Laurie on August 14, 2007

I once worked with a woman who hated her photo ID picture so much that she cut out a picture of Eva Longoria and put it on her badge at work. The security guards never noticed, so my colleague started rotating celebrity pictures on her ID. It was great: she was Beyonce, J.Lo, Britney Spears, etc.

Of course, her actions violated the terms & conditions of our site access policy!

My solution? We should have hired graphic designers with Photoshop skills in our Corporate Security department. Life would have been so much better for me, that’s for sure. My former work IDs needed some professional airbrushing!

Thanks, Col. I might keep it. Dunno. I’d like to design my own site, but these kittenz keep me busy.

By the way, do you want me to overnight a few kittenz to you? For free?

Just happed on this. Too funny but slightly worrying on a number of levels- bad security is probably worse than no security, and a candidate who’s face doesn’t match the airbrushed photo enough probably wouldn’t get a second look :)

Stumbled it for you, Laurie:
