We missed you!

My co-worker has been in So. Cal for the last week running around Disneyland. I bet he thinks he was the only one having fun while he was gone… Wrong!
Friday after noon + his cubical + 300ft of hot pink twine = One hell of a good time! What do you think? Good times?
*** Update ***
Kent came into work and climbed through all of the twine and had a seat. I thought for sure he would cut it away first thing. He is currently un-stringing his desk with the goal of not needing scissors.

Our boss has been out of the office for the last two days, so we (mostly me) came up with a little prank. I like to call it the “Cup and Marble Maneuver”. Here are the steps I took to pull it off.
- I went to the dollar store and bought a bunch of paper cups
- Went to 2 other stores looking for a bag of marbles. Old fashion marbles are hard to find it the age of electronic toys. I even contemplated using gum balls.
- I filled one cup with marbles, placed a piece of paper on it, flipped it upside down, placed it on the desk and pull the piece of paper out from under it.
- Placed the remaining cups around her cube (There is still some cups in her drawer that she hasn’t found).
- Sat down at my desk and thought that she might get suspicious that all of the cups were empty, and start testing them to see if one was filled with something. (Maybe I was over paranoid.)
- Had a powwow with my teammates about what I should hide in the other cups.
- Print off a bunch of clean SFW jokes.
- Cut the sheet of jokes into individual jokes.
- Fold up the jokes and randomly place them under the cups.
- Wait for boss lady to come back on Friday.
This worked GREAT! She was surprised and over analyzed it. She questioned “Why cups? Did I leave my cup somewhere?” Then she moved a cup and found a joke and laughed. Moved some more cups and found more jokes. Soon she was lifting the cups up like a mad woman, and BAM! The marbles crashed to the desk and floor. SUCCESS!
Man I love a good prank. Happy Friday!

Last Friday was Halloween. At the end of the day our manger came over and asked Kent and I what we were going to dress up as on Monday. Kent said he was going to dress up like me, and I agreed that I was going to dress up like him. Nothing formal, just a quick joke in passing. That brings us to today. I dropped the ball. I didn’t know Kent was so serious. He looks like a mini-jimbo. Take a look.
Look at that! He even got my tattoo. We introduced ourselves to the new hire training class today (It’s their first day). Kent called me his big brother, then said we weren’t related. They weren’t buying it. You could her several “They’re not?!”s from all over the room. The room was filled with laughter while we were in there. Good times.
Well played Kent. Well played.
Work Time Antics: Operation Aluminum Cows (An updated update)

The cows have started to slowly emerge (or as Kim put it “They’re erupting.”). I wish I had a time lapse camera so I could watch how they unfolded themselves.
Work Time Antics: Operation Aluminum Cows (update)

I guess today is National Doughnut Day, and Kim just happened to know that little fact. It doesn’t surprise me. He’s a wealth of knowledge. He just happened to bring in 3 dozen doughnuts too. When I got to work there was a maple bar sitting atop of a refreshing container of milk. So I didn’t get to send any extra ransom notes. I’m a little bummed out about that, but I’ll live. Kim took it all in stride, and of course he knew it was me. It was a good laugh for many people. Everyone was watching my every move yesterday asking me why I was packaging Kim’s beef. After explaining most people just shook their heads and walked off.
Good times. Good times indeed. I wonder who I can mess with next. It’s going to be hard to top this one. I mean I blind folded the cow for the ransom photo for pete sakes!Work Time Antics: Operation Aluminum Cows

A couple of months ago I was relocated to a new desk at work. My co-worker Kim has been walking past me and throwing balls of aluminum foil at me ever since. I’ve been collecting all of the foil balls in my desk and haven’t really known what to do with them. The other day it hit me. Kim collects cows. Kim has a cow farm on his desk. I have an ASSLOAD of aluminum foil saved. Aluminum foil + Kim’s Cow = One hell of a good time!
I’ll keep you updated on if I get my Doughnut.
