Kurzbeschreibung
Bored with budgets? Tired of taking annoying phone calls? Morose about marketing? Work should be fun, but when it’s not, it’s time for a little office origami. These twenty-two classic origami projects use items easily found in any office―time sheets, old expense reports, memos, pink slips―that will help any slacker while away those pesky hours between 9 and 5.
Learn how to get more out of the work day by using sticky notes, budgets, spreadsheets, and other important documents found in any mindless bureaucracy to practice the soothing, ancient Japanese art of origami. Show everyone around you how you “think outside the box” by mastering the twenty-two projects laid out with step-by-step instructions and handy thumbnail diagrams that are easy to follow. Included in this gag gift book are origami projects that range from the complex to the simple and can all be accomplished with a simple piece of paper, often nothing more than a sticky note or your last performance appraisal!
Impress your co-workers, be the life of the office holiday party―just don’t ask your boss for a raise.

Not as Good as Adam Russ' other Books But Some Humour Here
11. Februar 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I got this after reading the hilarious 101 Places Not to Visit: Your Essential Guide to the World's Most Miserable, Ugly, Boring and Inbred Destinations and 101 Sports Not to Try: Your Essential Guide to the World's Most Dangerous, Pointless and Laughable Excuses for Recreation. Those books have a substantial larger amount of pages than this much thinner book. Office Origami, if you don't count the time making the various origami objects, only takes 20 minutes or so to read.
What this book is, is basically 22 basic office related origami projects which are either helpful to store stuff in in the office, become helpful tools in the office, become a "team building" game, or just impress others sitting on the desk. Each project has an introduction on how to use the object to impress your colleagues, get them fired or use in other ways to help your career. There's a lot of great humour from Adam Russ in those intro pages as well as the introduction chapters to the book. The humour does drop off a fair bit with the final quarter of projects. Accompanying the intros is a photograph of the finished item as well as detailed diagrams on how to fold (make) the projects. There's also little post it notes telling you who came up with each origami. If you're not interested in the humour then there are better origami projects in other books but since these are all fairly basic if you haven't ever made anything before this is a good beginners book. Both paper and post it note origami projects are inside.
The projects inside are
Basketball Hoop
Business Card Frog
Shoot the Boss
Boredom Box
Water Cooler Cup (a great one to impress the ladies after you've thrown out the actual cups)
Frog Eat Frog
Paper Firecracker
Snap Dragon
The Naughty Elephant (or the finger when turned upside down)
Oragami Quoits
Rhino Hoopla
Executive Decision Maker
Elephant on a Motorbike
Easy Glider
Jet Fighter
Towers of Tokyo
Happy Suncatcher
The Cling-On Cube
The Multinodule
Multinodule Stars
The Magic Tube
The Gift Box

Great entertainment for those boring moments at work
4. November 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This book is good for beginner folders. It does not contain any difficult folds. While the advanced folder may be a bit disappointed with the models, most of which are in other origami books, it's great for what it's designed for - 5 minute entertainment at work.
There are games to make that can entertain your colleagues for hours, handy boxes etc, but my favourite has to be the "Executive Decision Maker" (a fortune teller).
In summary, while, most of the folds are not original, the book contains a good compilation of folds suitable for office entertainment.

Office fun - is it wise in these fiscally challenging times?
10. August 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Fun in the office - for coffee breaks and lunch hours (half-hours?). Projects may be too complex for beginners. Need some patience to complete.
