Karlstad This post is a bit premature as there isn’t a single flake of snow on the ground here in Carbondale, but I thought I’d post it now so that Penn and Nate have time to forget about it by midwinter when I may need to put the following tools to use.
Pskov The theme of Copper’s new micro-site is “Everyone Deserves a Snow Day” and they provide everything you need to get the day off from work.
A Ferris-Bueller-style soundboard gives you the essential sounds to call in sick to your boss: (go to www.yoursnowday.com and click on “I’m Employed” to hear them.) Unfortunately they are all apparently made by a throaty-sounding man, so the legitimacy if I used them might be questionable.
They also provide a doctor’s note that you can download, fill out, and print to give to your boss.
Unfortunately the stamp reads “Snow Day Medical Group” so again, the legitmacy is likely to be questioned. Even if I won’t be getting any days off courtesy of Copper Mountain, the website is amusing and good example of a very creative web campaign.
