Where do “Work from Home” signs come from?
It’s a long read, and you may want to skip to the conclusion once you get the gist of it.
Personally, I feel much wiser having read it. Recently, I was doing some postering for the National Poetry Slam, and I (naturally, I thought) put posters up on all the telephone poles in the neighborhood. Less than a day later I got a call telling me that it was illegal. I’d always assumed it wasn’t, since there are always those annoying “loose weight in 40 days” signs everywhere. I’ve always wondered where those and the “work from home” signs came from… and now I know they’re from the same place.
The world is small, but I am insignificant.
