Office Pranks

The daily routines and monotonous routine of work can get to anyone. I am victim to this. To break the bordem, I usually think of jokes or pranks to play on coworkers. See I have always planned many pranks but rarely follow through with them. I have done some simple ones such as:

- fake faxes telling everyone they must submit their urine for drug testing
-When an employee was changing jobs, I sent her a fax (from her boss) saying she was terminated
-I turn some files upside down, so when you pick the folders up the paper slide out

Most of these didn't work real well, but made the "victims" want to get me back.

Recently I had a good prank done to me. A coworker, Joanne, turned my calendar and at least 30 pieces of data and other paper hanging on my office walls, upside-down! So I noticed one thing upside down, then another, and soon I wa in the twilight zone. Every paper, calendar, picture, and even my business cards were upside down in the holder.

Some other ideas I like for office pranks...

1. Set a mouse free in the office each day. When the problem becomes an epidemic, send snakes after them.
2. Submit letters of resignation for other employees.
3. Dial the phone number of the guy in the next cubicle whenever he walks away from his desk. Hang up before he can run back to answer it. Repeat often.
4. Make sure your expense report contains at least one reference to the "client meeting" at the "gentleman's club".
5. Post a list of the communists in your company on a conspicuous bulletin board. If you're not sure who the communists are, take your best guess.

Not sure who the communists in your office are? You're in California. Everyone there is a communist, aren't they?

Sorry, couldn't resist.
