Son of a bitch, Origami Calendar, way to SPRING A SINK FOLD on your unsuspecting owners.

Today's diagram, the Eight Pointed Star, has a surprise sink fold in step three which I would not have been able to manage if I hadn't been ranging the internet for difficult and bizarre origami to suppliment the calendar's steady diet. Sink folds are evil things, designed to torment the innocent.

But I have to admit they do make awfully pretty stars.


I was folding a second one of these today when BossBoss walked up to my desk and said, "I just gave my thirty days notice."

That one ended up a little crumpled.

Did BossBoss give a reason? It will have to be a pretty darn good one to have the Internet give their permission.

ETA: Seriously, I know in RL it's none of our business.

No! Bossboss! Oh damn, Sam :( I'm sorry.

Also, there goes my third-favourite Sam!friend/ship. Who will buy you muffins and giggle about Doctor Who with you now? :(

(Although the star is v. pretty, too)

But this means you'll have a new BossBoss. What will you call BossBoss if he's no longer your BossBoss? FormerBossBoss? PreviousBossBoss? ExBossBoss? BossBossPrime? The Artist Formely Known As BossBoss? Will the new BossBoss inherit the BossBoss title or will he be called NewBossBoss? Or perhaps BossBoss2:ElectricBoogaloo? BossBoss2?

I have typed Boss too many times now. BossBossBossBossBoss. I feel like a Pokemon.

Hey, that's a pretty star!

One vote for The Artist Formerly Known as BossBoss.

I wish they made fabric prints in the same patterns as your origami paper. I'd love to make a top out of that print. :) The star is pretty enough, though.

Aw, I wondered when this day would come, since I believe he nearly left once before, eh? It's usually just a matter of time, once the thought gets into someone's head. :(

My husband actually took that print and had it printed at Spoonflower with a rainbow color scheme for a tux vest. It is very lovely. He says if people want he can make it available there.

Okay, gorgeous star; totally ganking the pattern. But BOSSBOSS?!? Please inform him that the Cafe has risen en mass and wish to make our dismay known. I have him looking EXACTLY like Bo Sparks from Charitable Getting in my head.

That's sort of hilarious, because I picture Bo Sparks as Captain Jack Harkness. -facepalm- Just with silver in his hair.

Thirty day notices are a thing now?

Our company doesn't make it a requirement, but for salaried employees they Strongly Request a thirty-day notice, because the hiring process is DIRE.

If you weren't so adamant about keeping your meatspace and your cyberspace separate like secret mistresses, I'd say you should extend BossBoss an invite to the cafe.
