Real conversation from work yesterday

Co-worker: <Demands Christmas present for some flippant remark I made.>  Wait, do you celebrate Christmas?

MakerBlock: Well, I don’t have any Christmas stuff up in my office, so… I suppose not.  Well, I do have a picture of an Easter Bunny.  But, that’s because I believe in bunnies.  I believe in bunnies but not Easter, teeth but not fairies, and claws but not Santas.

Aren’t you glad we don’t work together?  You would have to put up with this kind of nonsense all the time.

I’ve been blathering about my MakerBot kit to anyone and everyone who will listen for weeks and months now.  All that is left to do is build it. 1  A friend asked me how long it would take me to build it.

Thinking aloud, I reasoned that if two skilled people could build one MakerBot in a weekend, I might have a shot at building one in about two to three weeks.2

I hope that’s not too optimistic.  :)

I guess that’s what Christmas miracles are for, eh? 3

  1. Oh, that’s all? [↩]
  2. Though a YouTube video suggest two people can build one in a single night. [↩]
  3. Actually, I would love to finish it in time for Christmas so I can print out some snowflakes for the tree, but I just don’t see it in the cards. [↩]
