Not much going on this afternon. Exchange server went down this AM, but all is well for the moment. Taking a PW break.
Carry on..
Since we are postwhoring while bored at work...
Some client's bought us lunch today and now I'm so full I can't move or think about doing anything productive. The lawyers have been out of the office for most of the day and all us mice are going crazy.
I broke the copy machine again. Then I got propositioned (all in good fun) while trying to fix it. Apparently I was in a comprimising position.
A client came running through the front door like she was being chased by the friggen FBI and started balling. Apparently she had a bad dream. Whoa there drama queen...SAVE IT!
I stole something from everyone's desk and so far (2 hours later) nobody has noticed...
See how bored I am? :laugh:
edit: I'm an idiot
I work in a copy shop, and my favorite pasttime when I'm bored is to glue on the caps to the pens.
<sigh>
My favorite past time at work is send the route guards to shut door that dont exist and laughing at them when they cant find them.
:laugh: You guys crack me up. I used to play pranks on people when I was bored... But, that never ended well. :nono:
Some people don't know when to stop the escalation (namely me) :oops:
My best was when I took a co-workers keys with a good magnet, and stuck them about twenty feet up on the metal rafters. :laugh:
I kinda felt bad afterwards tho, but it was funny.

No screwing with people is fun especially short people lol!!!!!!!
I'm 5'6" and I had a co-worker at my last location that was around 5'2". This was retail, and the shelves were about 5'5", so I used to call out "Tony! Jump up and down so I can see you!" I've never seen anyone get so angry! :icon_twisted: :icon_twisted:
I just like holding things up in the air so they cant reach them lol !!!!!!!!!

When I try that, they usually just punch or kick me...
Well someone has other ways of getting what they want.
while were on the pranks at work thing... none of us really like the supervisor at work so lately i've been teasing him. when i come in to work over time about 1.5 hrs before he does, i'll go in his desk and carefully break the tip off of each freshly sharpened pencil and place it back into the hole it left. so he comes in and sits down. gets a pencil and goes to write, damn. gets another, damn. a box of pencils later and he realizes that someones effin with him :icon_mrgreen:
I like to go online and find photos of weir stuff, print them out, and put them in people's pockets on the Coat rack. :laugh: Like the other day I printed out a photo of an Emu, folded it up and wrote on it "Read this ASAP" and stuck it in some girl's coat. Haha.
The last place I worked, right before I left, ill pulled a few pranks on people. Ill filled my supervisors drawers with packaging peanuts. One of the guys does development so hes got like 15 computers sitting in front of him for testing, so i disconected a few of his keyboards from the kvm switches. I had a few pictures of people i printed off and put them inside computers, i have no idea when or who is going to find them. And we also had like 12 foot ceilings, so i put a bunch of pictures of slabs of meat above the vegitarian mac persons desk. I dont think hes gotten them down yet.
Then there was allways the day to stuff I did. Dish soap on a few random keys on a keyboard. And if someone didnt lock their machine and left their email client open, I would send out a little girl email from there account to everyone at work. Something along the lines of "Im a little girl and I cry myself to sleep at night"
Another good one, if someone has multiple computers is to switch mice/keyboards around... that gets real confusing, real quick. At Blockbuster, I used to hide in our dropbox, and when someone would reach in to find a movie, I'd scare em.. my manager hated me for that... :laugh: I bout made her crap herself one day, as it was like 4 in the morning, and we'd both been there since 5 the night before.. I was a little punch drunk, and she was a little jumpy..
The best prank I ever did was when I was leaving this miserable job at a microfilm production place. It was a giant sweat shop and the women running the place were all nasty old crows. So buddy & I wrote ip about 300 small pieces of paper that said "The Phantom filmer strikes again." We hid them everywhere! Inside machines, stuck to the ceiling, paper towles, we even unrolled TP and inserted and carefully rolled them back up. We were very creative so that they would be found over time.
I was told that for months they were frantic to find out who it was so they could fire them :laugh: I was long gone. :laugh:

That is awesome John! :thumb:
I used to work with a guy that had a really easy admin password... So, I logged in to his C$ and started changing things... He hated Rap music, so I set his start-up sound to a 3 minute Snoop-Dog song... Then when he wasn't at his desk, I walked over and turned his speakers all the way up and shut his machine off. :laugh: He had TONS of Internet shortcuts on his desktop, so I changed the titles of them to things like Hot Teens, etc. He deleted ALL of them... :laugh: Then I'd create stuff on his desktop while he was using the machine... And delete other stuff he'd just placed on his desktop. Good stuff. :thumb:
The funniest thing I did to a machine was the old stand-by... I dragged every desktop icon, every favorite, and every start menu shortcut to a guy's start-up group... Then shut his machine off... He started his machine and every program on the thing was starting up... He freaked out, "What the... What the..." And decided that the right thing to do was to restart the machine... Then again, "What the... What the..." **reboot** I was friggen dying.

And the one that I got in shaZam!-loads of trouble for was back when Napster was a common "problem" at offices... People would run Napster servers and ruin the bandwidth of the whole office... Well, we had one such guy... And EVERYONE hated his 'cause all he did all day was DL MP3s and slack off...... He left his machine unlocked and went out for his scheduled hour lunch. So, I changed all his Napster short-cuts to point to a TXT file that read, "Get Back to Work." Then I deleted ALL of his MP3s.
Well, he went to our manager and said that someone was messing with his machine and making it so he couldn't work... He said it would take him several hours to get his machine back in working order... Then he said that someone left disparaging remarks about his ethics on his machine and that he was considering a lawsuit. :icon_confused:
It turned out that our manager was working on firing him... And now he couldn't since the guy said "lawsuit." Our manager put out a department wide announcement that messing with other people's machine and impacting productivity was now a firing offence.
I was SOOOO screwed since I told at least five other people what I'd done to his machine. Lucky for me when my lead found out he was cool enough not to tell the manager... So, I didn't get fired... But, I was my lead's buttboy for a long time after that. :cry:

I've really chilled out... I occasionally do something silly... But, I usually get 10x the payback and decide that escalation should end there. :nono:
Finally some good weather in the NW. It's torture sitting here inside looking at my motorcycle and seeing nothing but bright blue sky! Only 3.5 more hours..................

I feel your pain. I've been sitting inside and staring at my new helmet, leather jacket, and gloves, TEMPING ME!!!
OH WHEN WILL THE TEMPTATIONS END?!?!?!? I FEEL LIKE I CANNOT HOLD IT IN ANY MORE!!! I...
HAVE...
TO RIDE...
NOW!!!
I like Texas. I went shopping today on my bike, just to run some errands. I'm going on a big ride through the hill country this Saturday. The next weekend I'm going riding to Moscow/Geneva and Nacogdoches. Then the weekend after that I'm going on another hill country ride. Then I go to Mexico (maybe). Then I go to Big Bend.
Jesus I'm so happy.
Damn, you guys sound fun. The best thing I got at CycleGear, is to go around and blow up a plastic bag. And right before the bead is about to pop on a street tire, pop the bag behind their back. Our compressor is messed up, so you have to air it up straight off the chuck, so that makes for some funny shaZam!. Ryan knocked a tire off the machine once, with no valve stem in it, now that was funny shaZam!.
