Suggestions

I’m interested in really developing my project mayhem at work. Last year we deployed the Annoy-a-tron noise maker and I need to come up with something new.

There’s an In/Out board right outside my office and people are obssessed about the board. I frequently hear folks out there arranging blue dots, making notations about their schedules, etc. One person in particular spends much of her time complaining about how much work she has to do and yet she spends a lot of time at the In/Out board. What does it matter really…is the person’s office light on or not? You had to walk past their office to get to the board, you know whether they are here or not. Pick up the phone or send an email.

I’ve rearranged the In/Out blue dots into smiley and frowny faces and I’ve taken some of the blue dots off (especially around my name). Today I got to work and someone had written on the board that it was for business only but other announcements or drawings should be posted on the white board next to the In/Out board. I guess the frowny face yesterday was a bit too much for the In/Out elite to handle.

What are your ideas on other office pranks I can pull–I don’t have the time, energy or supplies to fill someone’s office with post-it notes so the ideas have to be small, quick and cheap. I need to be in and out (no pun intended!) of offices quickly to escape detection.
