NEWS: Sights and sounds 4
* Bald heads: There were a lot more of them than I would normally see in any random group of people of this size. Makes you wonder: Is it the stress of being a designer?
* Funny/embarrassing comments: Friday night I found myself in the company of designers from ... well, I'll leave out the who and the where from. But there were nine of us, and we were sharing an artichoke dip. So many people, it was bound to get violent. And it did. At one point, someone's chip broke -- we will only identify this person as being male -- and someone -- we will only identify this person as a female -- grabbed a spoon to help spoon some dip over the offending chip. In a loud voice, she told him, "Pull out! Pull out! You've got tons!" Those of us who weren't paying attention to the chip but heard the loud comment stopped dead in our chit-chat, then just started cracking up. You can imagine the comments that followed through the rest of the meal. Oh, and don't worry, neither party was looking for a job.
