The great state of Tex-afornia

Cool April fools jokes to play at work

From Careerbuilder.com

HIGHLIGHTS FROM "THE TRICKED"
-- A co-worker crank-called me saying that I was being fined $500 for not
showing up to jury duty that day.
-- I was told by a coworker that I could leave early, which I did. It
turns out it wasn't true.
-- My staff left voicemail messages one by one with different excuses on
why they wouldn't be able to report to work (car trouble, sick,
funeral, etc). Meanwhile, they were all hiding in an office one floor
below.
-- Someone switched the "M" and "N" keys on my keyboard.
-- They super-glued my drawers shut.
-- Someone at the office put a fake engagement announcement about me in
the local paper.
-- Unbeknownst to me, a friend at work hung a sign on the back of my car,
which read, "Please wave, I have no friends!"

HIGHLIGHTS FROM "THE TRICKSTERS"
-- We moved someone's entire office contents to the front lobby.
-- We placed a fake outline of a dead body on the floor when clients came
to visit.
-- I swapped the felt tip from a highlighter with the felt tip from a
black magic marker.
-- We taped down the pins that pop up when you pick up the telephone, so
it just kept ringing and ringing when the receptionist tried to answer
a call.
-- We all turned in our resignations to the boss ... we later said we were
kidding.
-- I hid in a box that had been shipped to us that day and jumped out at
my boss when he opened it.
-- We did the typical - changed someone's screensaver to something
inappropriate, switched the men's and ladies' room signs, put a spider
on someone's shoulder, etc.
-- We stole a coworker's favorite old, broken down chair from the office
and took Polaroid pictures with co-workers sitting in it at different
tourist or business locations. We made him go on a hunt for the chair,
which led him back to the office where we had balloons and food
waiting.
