April Fool's Day

[Dr. Funkenstein]

Anyone planning good pranks at work or on their friends/family today?

Here, we have a long con going on...yesterday, we got my father (posing as a recruiter for a headhunting firm) to call my boss, asking for references for certain people in my department.

Today, half of us are dressed in our best interview clothes (we usually roll business casual) and have asked to leave early today. Tomorrow, the rest of us are doing it.

Also yesterday, I left a copy of my resume out on my desk.

Next week, we're getting someone else to call in and ask for references and repeating the process, only in smaller numbers, until we're down to one person, who's going to go in and say they're leaving unless they can get the most absurd demands fulfilled (so far, the list includes a request to have Heinz be the official ketchup of the HR department).

Okay, both of my daughters got me today. First, my oldest daughter calls me into her room and says there is something wrong with the computer because the screen is black. She had turned the monitor off!

Then, my youngest daughter taped the bottom of the mouse and had me thinking her computer was locked down! :))

That's pretty damn cold. :)

Update...my boss just asked if I'd heard anything about a recruiter around. I told him one called me two days ago. He seems a bit nervous.

Sheesh! You folks need to be more creative.
