What to do with an office bulletin board?

[Tex Mechs Robot]

I have been tasked with updating our office bulletin board. And I mean a PHYSICAL bulletin board. With cork board and pegs and everything.

My supervisor wants it to be something that is team oriented, fun to look at, and creative. It currently has pictures of all of us that were taken throughout the last year with funny captions.

Obviously safe for work stuff and not necessarily space related. Must be cheap and relatively easy to complete. I work in a department that creates training (online learning and in class learning). I work for a major airline.

Ideas?

Thinking about doing something like this using the "ten hundred most common words in the english language" XKCD style.

somehow I misspelled XKCD the first time...

One of ours is covered with xkcd comics and other relevant insanity for morale purposes.

 

One of my favorites is a printout of some pages from the WWII Office of Strategic Services (forerunner of the CIA) Simple Sabotage Manual.

It is labeled Simple Sabotage Manual Meeting and Work Guidelines.

Specifically, it contains:

Quote

(11) General Interference with Organizations and Production
  (a) Organizations and Conferences
    (1) Insist on doing everything through "channels." Never permit short-cuts to be taken in order to expedite decisions.
    (2) Make "speeches." Talk as frequently as possible and at great length. Illustrate your "points" by long anecdotes and accounts of personal experiences. Never hesitate to make a few appropriate "patriotic" comments.
    (3) When possible, refer all matters to committees, for "further study and consideration." Attempt to make the committees as large as possible - never less than five.
    (4) Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible.
    (5) Haggle over precise wordings of communications, minutes, resolutions.
    (6) Refer back to matters decided upon at the last meeting and attempt to re-open the question of the advisability of that decision.
    (7) Advocate "caution." Be "reasonable" and urge your fellow-conferees to be "reasonable" and avoid haste which might result in embarrassments or difficulties later on.
    (8) Be worried about the propriety of any decision - raise the question of whether such action as is contemplated lies within the jurisdiction of the group or whether it might conflict with the policy of some higher echelon.

  (b) Managers and Supervisors
    (1) Demand written orders.
    (2) "Misunderstand" orders. Ask endless questions or engage in long correspondence about such orders. Quibble over them when you can.
    (3) Do everything possible to delay the delivery of orders. Even though parts of an order may be ready beforehand, don't deliver it until it is completely ready.
    (4) Don't order new working materials until your current stocks have been virtually exhausted, so that the slightest delay in filling your order will mean a shutdown.
    (5) Order high-quality materials which are hard to get. If you don't get them argue about it. Warn that inferior materials will mean inferior work.
    (6) In making work assignments, always sign out the unimportant jobs first. See that the important jobs are assigned to inefficient workers of poor machines.
    (7) Insist on perfect work in relatively unimportant products; send back for refinishing those which have the least flaw. Approve other defective parts whose flaws are not visible to the naked eye.
    (8) Make mistakes in routing so that parts and materials will be sent to the wrong place in the plant.
    (9) When training new workers, give incomplete or misleading instructions.
    (10) To lower morale and with it, production, be pleasant to inefficient workers; give them undeserved promotions. Discriminate against efficient workers; complain unjustly about their work.
    (11) Hold conferences when there is more critical work to be done.
    (12) Multiply paper work in plausible ways.  Start duplicate files.
    (13) Multiply the procedures and clearances involved in issuing instructions, pay checks, and so on. See that three people have to approve everything where one would do.
    (14) Apply all regulations to the last letter.

  (c) Office Workers
    (1) Make mistakes in quantities of material when you' are copying orders. Confuse similar names. Use wrong addresses.
    (2) Prolong correspondence with government bureaus.
    (3) Misfile essential documents.
    (4) In making carbon copies, make one too few, so that an extra copying job will have to be done.
    (5) Tell important callers the boss is busy or talking on another telephone.
    (6) Hold up mail until the next collection.
    (7) Spread disturbing rumors that sound like inside dope.

The italicized items are highlighted. This particular item catches people's eye because of the large CLASSIFIEDDeclassified stamp across the cover.  They always stop to read it, and then ask where they can get a copy for their office.  (Even the ones that prompted the posting.)
