Spice up your day

Bored with work? Fear not. TheSite.org is here to provide you with a great collection of ways to make your working day more interesting.

  1. At lunchtime, sit in your parked car and point a hair dryer at passing cars to see if they slow down.
  2. Page yourself over the intercom. (Don't disguise your voice.)
  3. Insist that your e mail address be: xena-goddess-of-fire@companyname.com or Elvis-the-king@companyname.com
  4. Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want fries with that.
  5. Encourage your colleagues to join you in a little synchronised chair dancing.
  6. Put your waste bin on your desk and label it 'IN.'
  7. Develop an unnatural fear of staplers.
  8. Put decaf in the coffee maker for three weeks. Once everyone has gotten over their caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.
  9. Reply to everything someone says with, "That's what you think."
  10. Finish all your sentences with, "In accordance with the prophecy."
  11. Adjust the tint on your monitor so that the brightness level lights up the entire working area. Insist to others that you like it that way.
  12. Dont use any punctuation
  13. As often as possible, skip rather than walk.
  14. Ask people what sex they are.
  15. Find out where your boss shops and buy exactly the same outfits. Wear them one day after your boss does. (This is especially effective if your boss is the opposite gender.)
  16. Send e-mail to the rest of the company to tell them what you're doing. For example: "If anyone needs me, I'll be in the bathroom."
  17. Put mosquito netting around your cubicle.

Thanks to Nina for the list, and to the person who actually came up with it, wherever you are!
