April Fool indeed

[holly_evolving]

So, 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.

Oh that's very well done!

I haven't done a foolie since I worked at Drew. Two years in a row. First year, boss went to lunch, and I hid his computer. He came back from lunch, I left.

Next year I took his coat off the coat rack when he was in the men's room, and hid it in a big plastic tub full of phones. Then I went to lunch. He didn't notice it wasn't on the rack until he went to go home. He thought maybe he'd left it in his car. Went to check. Nope. Not there. Called wife. Is it in her office? NOpe, she hasn't seen it. I had fun just watching this while "staying late to do paperwork" cuz no way was I leaving.
