So I show up to work this morning....

Y u no have friends ts.

Don't they shoot our emails about this stuff?

Well I just got back from Hawaii Thursday night from Japan so I've kinda been on my own schedule plus we had MLK weekend , then they went to work yesterday and I didn't because I was dealing with important stuff for the house.
 
If you have access to everyone's computers, here's what you do.

Take a screenshot of everyone's desktops.

Then hide the taskbar/dock and hide all the icons on their desktop.

Then set the desktop background wallpaper as the screenshot you just took.

That would be awesome, but all the computers are ID log ins, but I'll keep this prank in mind for future reference.
 
That is actually an awesome prank

I've gotten mileage out of that one since the days of Win95. It takes all of 1 minute to do so you can do it while a coworker is away taking a dump.

Another one is to take a wireless USB mouse in, plug the receiver into rear USB port when no one's looking and throughout the day, move the mouse pointer around while they're working. Works with Bluetooth, too.

I've done that before, I let it last for hours , hilarity ensued.
 
I run IT at my place & we all use AIM here - all off the record.


a while back I IM'd a few people & added this to the end of every one of my IMs:

I made them all shit bricks, even had a few of them freaking out by ditching their PCs & running straight to my office asking if our IMs were perm-logged hahahaa
 
No but sometimes if I get really really drunk on a Friday night I'll wake up Saturday morning and get dressed for work only to realize I don't have to go.
 
At 6:15 am and nobody is there, I ask what the hell call up another co worker and she tells me we don't have to be there til noon (I wasn't at work yesterday), thanks for telling me dicks !?!?!?!?

Has this ever happened to you ?

i know that feel bro, lol.

i didn't work the friday before christmas, and i showed up for work on christmas eve this past year, and no one told me that we had the day off. my co-workers forgot to tell me, so i wasted an hour to get to work, then another hour to get home.

so i decided to treat myself and i hit up the restaurant/bar for some brunch and irish coffees :D

isn't it the best when you realize that you don't have to go?

i always get a great sleep after that happens.

I wish I could do that but since its only a half day and I don't have to show up until later can't, would have been nice to know so that I could sleep in though.
 
Ya, doing some plumbing working on a complete hotel renovation is Boston, we had been showing up at 4:30 every morning for weeks. Get there on a Friday and cant get in. Turns out the site was shut down that day for inspections and nobody told me the day before.
