To arms, citizens! Let's show them what we're made of! And what are we made of, exactly?
Paper. Right. Because this is not any war, it's a StickyNote War!
This summer, in Paris, frustrated employees locked up in their offices launched a new trend: out the coffee-ciggy break, in the "post-it war". It consists in "drawing" videogames characters on your windows using sticky notes as pixels. It all began between the Ubisoft and BNP employees. Since then, it has been taken over in other Parisians offices with more or less talent (look up if you're in a business district). It made a big buzz on the Web (L'Express, Korben, local TV news) and there's even an official site.
What about us, independent workers? We may have smaller windows, or maybe no neighbours (and certainly not the same stationery budget), but why shouldn't we have a little fun between two translations? So here's my (modest) contribution:
Space invaders!
Now it's your turn : To StickyNotes, Translators! Show us what you are capable of!
And since there is always collateral damage in a conflict, here is my war wound, pretty annoying to type on my brand new solar keyboard!
