There is one beauty in having to move desks at work (and only one
beauty) - the items you discover in, on and around your desk when
cleaning up.
Throw in a few more co-workers who have to do the same process – those
who have resided at their desks for several years – and you have a
jackpot of good things coming out of the woodwork.
The first item to appear was a Yogi Berra signed piece of artwork
bearing his likeness. And then a Wayne Gretzky signed puck. Pretty
nice, eh?
And then I come back to my desk after running some errands, and I find
a stack of Rena Moreno signed photos on my desk. In essence, these
photos look like a biker gal, and unless you are really into wrestling,
you would have no idea who this is.
Rena Moreno is better known as Sable from the WWF. The same Sable who
enjoyed her time in the limelight after posing for Playboy. She was
really popular in college for me, which now dates to early 10 years
ago. Sadly, (or not. Heck, I don't care) no one from today's generation
has a clue who she is.
What made us chuckle was a bobble head of Mike Cramer, former founder
and president of Pacific Trading Cards. Oh, it was a nice rendition.
But it just goes and shows you the largese involved in the hobby in the
1990s.
Among other items were some buttons of Roberto Clemente, Thurman Munson
and Lou Brock. In all, it will display nicely in my new cubicle space.
Though I don't know if it can compete with the Jack Lambert McFarlane
figure staring at me from across the hallway . . . Darn those Steelers
fans.
I'm guessing the Cardinals fans have yet to jump on the bandwagon publicly yet in the office.
