In case the title didn't tip you off, let me repeat: THIS POST CONTAINS MAD MEN SPOILERS. If you read it and then cry bitter, 1963-flavored tears because I ruined your Tivo lineup for the night, don't blame me, because I warned you.
So, the Mad Men finale last night was pretty sweet. A lot of shit went down at once, so mostly all I was able to do was say "Oh, SNAP" every four minutes and try to keep up with the plot line. Now that it's been almost 24 hours, I've had a little more time to process everything. Mostly, I've been trying to wrap my head around the thrilling new corporate entity that is Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce, so-named because "All the Good People Except Ken Cosgrove and the Kinda Communist Guy Ad Agency" is too long to fit on a door.
In order to help me understand things, I put together an org chart reflecting my understanding of the new agency's structure. In order to be Mad Men-er, I did it by hand.
As you can see, the rather top-heavy org structure consists of five partners (if you count Pete), plus three poached underlings and Pete's crazy wife, who technically doesn't work there, but will undoubtedly be around to serve food and wear bizarre hats, so I'm keeping her in there. After all, what's an org chart without a sandwich-maker/dipshit?
This is obviously my favorite thing and explains so much of our gchat conversation today.

This wonderful post is the epitome of why I love LMNOP. :-) As for the epitome of why I love Mad Men? Season finale, says it all.
