Dwight: “This morning I knocked myself in the head with the phone.”

Jim: “That actually took a while. I had to put more and more nickels into his handset until he got used to the weight, and then I just took them all out.”

Pranks for nothin’

Well, we hope you got all of your pranks out of your system yesterday, because we have some very serious news.

As part of his passion for Philadelphia and his lifelong yearning to be a mascot, we can finally, exclusively reveal that the man inside the Philly Flyer’s Gritty costume has been Technical.ly’s own CEO, Christopher Wink, all along.

“Nothing brings me greater joy than to feel the soft caress of Gritty’s feathery orange fur against my skin as I skate with abandon across the icy utopia inside the Wells Fargo Center,” said Wink. “The honor of looking out at the city I love through Gritty’s big, beautiful bug eyes is all mine.”

OK fine, so we had one more prank in our system. Chris Wink is not Gritty. Regardless, to us he’ll always be the big, beautiful mascot skating through the halls and hearts of Technical.ly.

Alright, enough with the nonsense. Back to business! Let’s check out the jobs this week!
