I thought the same thing, but click on the tweet to go to his main page, it goes back to normal.

My guess is that it is a formatting error on Twitter.

Good eye though!

As I walked home from the deli this morning, I saw Worker Power run past me. Don't know what that was all about. Made a fine ham sandwich.

 		Oh fuck what. I would like to set forth the idea that there are nine clone workers named after the nine words in the Jobs section. Maybe Worker Bonus is under scrutiny for some reason, hence the question.

 		Perhaps WORKING, POWER, SWEATING, etc, are all types of Workers? So what we were taking for a single guy in glasses is actually a whole bunch of identical guys who have specific tasks.

Or, y'know, robots.

I'm not a fan of the titles of workers like this for the simple fact that it wouldn't be consistant with all 9 terms: Worker Working, Worker Power, Worker Sweating... etc. Plus, wouldn't Chuck have said they (pluraly) were running by?

Something (maybe level) keeps Chuck from running with or ahead of the thing that runs by him. But what else isn't Chuck saying from this? I think (/hope) Chuck will tell us more...

 		makes sense.

no doubt Blackstar needs a bunch of goons to do their bidding. i was just looking at the vid again, looking to see if Chuck or a Deli were in the shots of Worker Power running down the street (2:42). never noticed the person sitting on the steps of the building to Worker's right. the person's face seems to be blurred deliberately (possibly because they are OOG), but it is odd how much the person resembles another "Worker."

probably coincidence, but interesting none the less...

 		Worker's Power Run was mentioned in a phone call a while back. He can be seen doing it in the original TIMM video when the announcer says 'Power'. His Power Run apparently causes an energy field to form in front of him.

Do you have a source for this phone call? I don't remember it being mentioned.

EDIT: Worker Power was filmed running down Bleecker St. which is the same street that Quartino's is on. If you go to Google Maps and go to street view on Quartino's address, and look right, this is what you see:



Here is a frame of Worker Power running down the same street, taken from TheBruce's Flickr:



Although you can't see the restaurant in the back due to the trucks in the Google Map grab, it's quite obvious that it is the same street; the buildings at the end of the street are identical.

After I discovered this I looked for the other workers. Here is Worker Working under an arch down Bleecker in the other direction from Worker Power:



Google Street View:



It also looks like Worker Verify is filmed in front of that wood panelling at this same building to the left of that doorway:



Yep, in the very next image he is in front of the same building, just further to the left:



Google Map Street View:



It looks like the Bonus? card swiper could be installed somewhere on that same building, as the bricks in the shot look similar to the bricks from the second floor and above on that building (although it's incredibly hard to tell from Google Street View).

Anyways, most of this probably isn't too helpful, but it's still really interesting!

4:10 : "He does this power run, you gotta see it, where he, he puts his arms up and he just runs, and god help you if you're in his way when it happens, um, definitely creates a certain, uh, a certain energy field around him..."

Those aren't the same building, unless the window and door he's in front of are the ones which are partly covered by scaffolding on GoogleMaps and the scaffolding wasn't there when the TIMM video was shot (IS there a door under the scaffolding?). Nice barbed wire on that scaffolding. XD Note that the door and window which AREN'T covered by scaffolding aren't the ones in the video; the dimensions don't look right for an A/C unit to be installed over the door as shown in the TIMM video and look quite as it does (it would only fill about half the space the window occupies), and the glass over the door doesn't look removable to accomodate that anyway -- more tellingly, the TIMM video shows a door with a handle, that seems to open outward, whereas the one in the GoogleMaps photo seems to have a pushbar spanning the middle of the door and open inward (there's also a bright silver mail slot, but that could easily be edited out).

I'm not sure it's a critical issue exactly where this shot was taken, but I don't think it's this particular location on Bleecker.

 		Worker Verify was filmed in front of the part that the scaffolding was covering in the image. I realized that after I posted the screenshot; you can tell from the windows above the door/glass that it is the same building.

If he is in fact at 31 Bleecker Street, then, what do we think he's pointing to? 33 Bleecker doesn't appear to be anything interesting.
