You are getting hungry...very hungry...

Your screen saver clicks on and a Big Mac sandwich floats aimlessly about your screen...

You put your phone on hold and are greeted with an "I'm lovin' it" commercial...

There are signs posted down every hallway saying "THEY'RE HERE!" I naturally, start looking for signs of alien life, but turns out it's just an oversized advertisement for the company's three new chicken sandwiches...

Giant foam containers of fries are on the top of every cabinet and end of aisle...

Need I continue?

Can you figure out where I work?

I would say these are subliminal messages, but I think they are more of the slap you in the face variety.

You may gain a few pounds, but lets hope that the NEW Job is a keeper and you can work in peace and get survivor's pay.

The company that I work at sends subliminals in a shockingly different way, through conversations, documents, etc. It's like a major head game around there, with some of them. Anyway, the trick is to be aware of their game, and then twist what they're saying or showing you into something that's more natural and healthy for yourself, mentally. (F.Y.I. I work for a sick and poisoned company, anyway. It's a survival skill!)

Vegemite (11/03/2005)
Hey Mate, I'm a vegetarian and I even want a Big Mac now.

I love subliminal messages. We get 'em too, but they are way too obvious. "Quality...Every client, everwhere, everytime". "Faking an on the job injury is Insurance Fraud and we prosecute". D'ya see what I mean? Way too obvious! Maybe I wouldn't mind a Big Mac screensaver. And yes, I can figure out where you work. Good Luck!
