Employees were given a memento to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of formation of our HQ. It was in the form of a clock, so horribly designed that its dial was dark blue and and hands, black. Visibility of the hands / time was very difficult. I tried painting the hands yellow which did help, but the clock itself went kaput in less than a year. Several colleagues also had the same complaint! What a shame for such a commemoration!
I threw away the clock in disgust, but retained the frame - actually better than the clock! I cut up a Master's picture and replaced the clock in the frame. Lo, I can still use that commemorative clock's 'remaining portion', which was otherwise junk.
Bravo, bravo! Good junking, Dinu!
