smiling happy people

so having a job as a graphic designer with many customers who are in serious business services, i tend to spend a lot of time researching images of offices, business meetings, lunch meetings, water cooler chit chat and general workplace schennaganins. every time i search through these ridiculous images, i wonder...who are these people? is it possible that there are people whose only job is to be a business person model for getty? or are they strippers and ice cream truck operators who are strapped for cash? or do they spend their days playing halo and dungeons and dragons when they are not in business casual wear for getty?

i bet being at a photo shoot for that must be hillarious... i would go a little something like this,

"hey laugh at his joke while you type on your laptop"

"now move the move the mouse while Jenn looks over your shoulder"

"everyone look busy while the black guy in front smiles at the camera(filter the image so only the black guy is in focus)

"black guy, shake the white woman's hand"

"someone sit on the edge of the table with a cup of coffee, laughing"

"pretend you love cubicles"

"peek up over the top of your cubicle to talk to the asian man next to you"

"high-five"

"now be serious, point to a large pie chart"

"point to the laptop screen and have everyone gather around a large conference table"

"sit outdoors with your laptop and look out towards the horizon"

i myself regularly wonder who the heck these getty folks are! my vote is for sedated homeless folk whom getty hoses down, dresses up and bribes with beef jerky and cans of tab. either that or ex-child game show participants hoping to break onto the modeling scene... i swear that chick was on legends of the hidden temple...any other guesses?
