This mortified employee thought they had the restroom to themselves, so they figured it'd be a solid time to belt out some "Candy Shop" by 50 Cent. Unfortunately, as it turned out their boss was in there too, and queue up the heart beating outside the chest in a flurry of panic moment.

Few are as dedicated to their jobs as Dr. Zenko Hrynkiw. When he got word that a patient needed surgery six miles away and Tuesday's snow-induced traffic prevented him from driving, he simply walked. Hrynkiw states that "It wasn't that big of a deal" and "it was kind of a fun journey." He even stopped to help some cars out of a ditch. Watch his news conference here.

Pixar technical director Alonso Martinez made this adorable little robot that's sure to give you the awwws. Described as a "desk companion," Mira is capable of tracking faces in order to play a game of peek-a-boo with the user. According to Martinez,
Mira is a desk companion that makes your life better one smile at a time. This project explores human robot interactivity and emotional intelligence. Currently Mira uses face tracking to interact with the users and loves playing the game “peek-a-boo”. As her understanding of the world and people's emotions get richer so will her ability to interact with people in a more meaningful way.
When Mira sees you during a game of peek-a-boo, she wobbles and chirps with excitement, which surely makes long days stuck at a desk easier. There's no word on whether or not Martinez plans to bring Mira to the consumer market, but if he does, you can bet I'll be first in line to buy one.
