Some Autumn Signage

Little story time in here:

also…notice my little green arrow…that is the extent of my graphic skills…I’m so proud of it.

My work area is in the breakroom these days.

I guess other TJ sign artist that 

have their work space next to the bailer or 

some other armpit or crotch area of the store…would be jealous.

OOOOO…but don’t get too envious my fellow “Sign Rushers” 

….as the smells of the grease trap, and random basement funk 

envelope thee senses…just like in your work areas.

One of the diamonds I love about working in the breakroom is 

all the bullshyt talk from my co-workers.

All come and interrupt me with their comments, 

yelping, blowing up fish meals in the microwave and 

asking me how to use the air fryer.

(I don’t fnuking know….why does this place need an air-fryer for fnuk sake….these baffoons are gonna brake it by Tuesday.)

Oh, here’s another little trivia gem.

Did you know that one out of three Trader Joe’s employees

 eat with their mouth open.

Yup…shoooooor do!

When I was trying to put some effort into this particular sign,

“Jim’s” finger comes in front of my face and

points to my “vegetables” that are in the background.

“WHAT ARE THOSE ???…

 (yes this mental patient talks like that…yells everything)…

THEY DON’T LOOK LIKE ANYTHING….WHY ARE YOU MAKING 

NON-VEGETABLES???”

So to shut him the fnuk up

 I deliberately write on the non-vegetables… “I don’t know what this is” 

Really I do know, I know I needed to fill up the composition with some other elements that I didn’t want to put effort into. I wanted them to be dull, go with the rest of the crap and sit in the background…

He was tickled I wrote on my vegetables and waddled away as he chewed on his block of cheese.

by the way, his name is not really Jim but he does chew on blocks of cheese.

I was thinking about just leaving the little comment…

but covered it and kept it professional.

I could have left it because my guess is 1 out of 1000 customers notice there are signs in the store.

Pumpkin Elf house, thank you @creativemom

Please go visit @CreativeMom to see her original amazing construction.

When I saw her video I thought, ” Perfect type of project I can rustically rush construct.”

I’m happy I found these images.

I rush so much at work, I usually don’t take the time to stop and document projects.

The pictures that follow are of the house in its “finished stage” and after it had been displayed in the store

for a couple consecutive fall seasons.

I added a couple little elf types looking out the window…because….well…..I always need to have some sort of character element.
