Fun Things To Do At Work
- Bring some dry ice & make it look like your computer is smoking.
- Come to the lab wearing several layers of socks. Remove shoes and place them of top of the monitor. Remove socks layer by layer and drape them around the monitor. Exclaim sudden haiku about the aesthetic beauty of cotton on plastic.
- Take the keyboard and sit under the computer. Type up your paper like this. Then go to the lab supervisor and complain about the bad working conditions.
- Bring in a bunch of magnets and have fun.
- Point at the screen. Chant in a made-up language while making elaborate hand gestures for a minute or two. Press return or the mouse, then leap back and yell "COVEEEEERRRRRR!" peek up from under the table, walk back to the computer and say. "Oh, good. It worked this time," and calmly start to type again.
- Keep looking at invisible bugs and trying to swat them.
- Sneak up behind some engrossed in their work screaming, "DISK FIGHT!!!" and slap them on the head with a disk.
- Type frantically, often stopping to look at the person next to you evilly.
- Get a pair of 3-d glasses. Wobble around while walking and keep yelling, "Whoa, that looked so real!"
- Laugh uncontrollably for about 3 minutes & then suddenly stop and look suspiciously at everyone who looks at you.
- Name all your pens and insist that meetings can't begin until they're all present.
- Schedule meetings for 4:14 PM.
- Develop an unnatural fear of staplers or tape dispensers.
- "Hi-lite" your shoes. Tell people that you haven't lost your shoes since you did this.
- While sitting at your desk, soak your fingers in "Palmolive".
- When co-worker walks by motion him over, lean forward as if you are about to say something then go back to work.
- Page yourself over the intercom. (Don't disguise your voice.)
- Send email to the rest of the company telling them what you're doing. For example, "If anyone needs me I'll be in the bathroom."
- Include a personal note on every email that you send. "On a personal note, I'm feeling a bit tired and grumpy today." "On a personal note, I'm pleased to announce that I got my highest score ever on Tetris last night."
- Every time you enter the room, sit in a chair, lean back too far, and fall over backwards. Laugh hysterically for about ten minutes. Then, one day, repeat the falling-over exercise, but instead of laughing, get up, look at the chair sternly, and say, "It's not funny anymore."
- Page yourself over the intercom. Don't disguise your voice.
- Put your garbage can on your desk and label it "in".
- Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has gotten over their caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.
- Put mosquito netting around your work area. Play a tape of jungle sounds all day.
- Have your coworkers address you by your wrestling name, Rock Hard.
