A Pleasant Surprise

In my line of work, creativity is limited, and for good reason.  My job requires that a lot of t's be crossed and i's be dotted.  But, when I get the chance, I try to squeeze in a little bit of creativity where I can.  Some of this need for creativity came back to me today in an unexpected way.

Last month, I had to send some secure materials to a client to review.  To emphasize the security of the document, I covered the outside of the sealed envelope with a skull and crossbones.  She found the drawing amusing to say the least.

When I received the secure document back this morning in an unassuming FedEx envelope, this is what I unearthed from its contents.




I was DELIGHTED.

It is not that we seize them, but that they seize us.”
