This is probably my favorite t-shirt recon to date - turning the freebie t-shirt from my ex-employer's annual conference into a sleeveless top. I've always had a fondness for this t-shirt, with its silly rock concert tour theme and the listing of all the offices of the company (before it was purchased by one of the world's top 10 market research companies that has offices in 46 countries and looks kind of scarily impressive on my resume), so I was glad to rescue this one from the pile of unworn t-shirts in the bottom of my dresser. It was super easy (not having to deal with removing, resizing, and reattaching the sleeves is wonderful) and with a fun logo already on it, it didn't require any creativity whatsoever.
I am glad to be so far removed from this job, which became hellish at the end (culminating in my ex-boss personally escorting me from the office when I got laid off by mistake and without my new boss's knowledge), that I can think about the goofy elements of my experience this shirt represents with a certain fondness. And since my really nice company backpack finally bit the dust a few months ago, and I never took home one of the dozens of crazy looking company clocks that could only keep time if you laid it down flat on its back on a table rather than hanging it from the wall as it was designed to do and thus was a total failure as a tchotchke client gift but a good symbol of the screwiness of the firm, this is perhaps my only physical memento from that period of my life. Well, that and the approximately 2,000 small post-it notes that I took with me.
