Well it never fails when the boss is away the sales girls will play! Most of my pranking I have learned from my co-sales girls Jocelyn and Cindy. Joce and I would prank our boss J.R. left and right. If he stepped out for so much as a minute boom office chair set at its lowest setting... Which by the way is the most hilarious prank especially when your boss goes to sit down and you hear boom boom crash... Bahahahahaha... Don't worry he was okay and that was the last time we ever did that prank. But needless to say using a black hair binder to tie the phone cords together so when he went to answer the phone it went flying, flipping his computer screen sideways or upside down, or locking him out of the office never got old... The most memorable prank is payback when you ditch your sales girls the day after thanksgiving, and come back to find that your desk magically looks like christmas threw up all over it.
Yes, Jocelyn and I have been pranked... I will never forget when we clued in J.R.'s boss D.K. into what we were doing with J.R.'s computer... D.K. was all for it and even helped us. Unannounced to us we were BETRAYED!!! So D.K. clued in J.R. and set us up. They had taken another computer that no longer worked and managed to make it look like it was thrown against the wall. I remember I was the first one in the office, and J.R. was acting angry that his computer wasn't working (side note: it takes a lot... I mean a lot to make J.R. angry). He would say what a waste of time it was for him to come in early to try to get work done, talk about what a piece of crap his computer is and he broke it because he was so mad... Me being the chicken that I am while trying to remain innocent called Jocelyn and told her to hurry up and get to the office because I was nervous. Of course Jocelyn was laughing me not so much... J.R. and D.K. finally came clean as we came clean on our prank which at the time we thought turned not so good.
Now that Joce has left my side at the good ol H-I I was lucky enough to have Sassy Cindy join the team (second side note: Jocelyn is good at giving nicknames that stick i.e. Sassy Cindy). Great because Cindy and I had worked together in the past and I knew what I was getting into. I will say Jocelyn is hands down the most creative, and hilarious prank master I know. So of course Cindy had big shoes to fill. Cindy has been great at coming up with awesome ideas. So essentially her and I paired together would eventually strike. We decided to go after the one person who people would not dare to prank (okay okay slight exaggeration)... Jocelyn... I knew that Joce was going to be away from her home for the day, because of course we still keep in close touch! Jocelyn had collected an abundance of advertisement cards for a magician and it was more than we could hand out at any given time. Cindy and I would always remind her about the over abundance of magician cards and tell her someday she will find them in random places. Cindy came up with the great idea to write sayings, most of which only Jocelyn, Cindy, and I would understand, and tape it to her front door window (random place number 1) for all to see especially the FedEx man... Of course it wasn't just a few pieces of tape to hold up there. We wanted to make sure it was not exactly easy to remove. We later followed up with Jocelyn to make sure she received our present and had a few good laughs. All said and done we were pleased to have pranked the prank master. More random places for the magician card to come!
Next on the agenda... 12 days of Christmas! Cindy and I may need Jocelyn's pranking expertise for this one.
Til next time! "Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much"
