April Fool indeed
Apr. 1st, 2010 09:22 amSo, we have a mouse problem at work. The exterminator has been in a few times in March, and yes we are already lacing the office with peppermint oil. My sinuses are quite clear as a result, which is lovely. Also, the mice don't visit my desk. Which is nice, because the desks that they do visit, they poop on. Poor houseguests, mice.
So. This morning, there is poop on all the desks. Just one on mine, but some of the known peanut butter violators (we have a "no peanut butter in the office overnight till the mice are gone" rule) had quite a few. People are freaking out, because apparently a little mouse poop is nigh on ebola.
So then the boss comes in and sees frantic scrubbing from the senior staff, me looking bemused, and my Nigerian coworker struggling to get his big b-ball player hands into size medium latex gloves. And she loses it. Cracks up. And says, "Guys, guys, what day is it?"
She came in early, and with the help of upper management, rolled little fake mouse poops out of tootsie rolls. Epic Boss Win?
An excellent prank, at the least. Well played, lady, well played.
