Alright, I am stuck here in the office by myself for 6 more hours, but its Christmas, I had a good night sleep, and I just polished off an entire 2 liter bottle of Pepsi... I am Hyper! So I have been looking for things to do around the studio while I'm here:

List of things I have already done:
Air Guitar on Bosses Desk
Tried to figure out which office belongs to the new hot chick in advertising.
Emulated the underwear scene from risky business, Old Time Rock N' Roll Included.

What else can I do for amusement here at work???

Rearrange the entire office to provide confusion for your coworkers and amusement for yourself.

Post-it note everything.

Update to the list I just changed all the screensavers on the computers to read: Do vegetarians eat animal crackers?

Tose other things sound fun...

Ran out of Post it Notes, and the copy machine (beleive it or not) was bilted to the floor... what now?

Change the sound scheme on all the computers of people called Dave so that everytime they try and do anything it plays clips from 2001 a space odyssey such as
"Just what do you think you are doing Dave?"
Best practical joke I ever did.

SOunds fun, sadly there are no Dave's :(

Just wander around naked.

Get really, really drunk.

Get really, really drunk.

No booze, I'm at work.

Get about 20 paper/plastic cups and line them up on someones desk. Staple them together at the top and then fill them with water.

Hilarity will ensue when they try to remove them without soaking their desk.

Always worth a suggestion, though.

Try spinning around on your chair (presuming it is one of the ones that can spin). I often do that when I'm bored.

Of course, it looks a bit stupid when someone walks past or if you fall off your chair.

If it is at all possible to leave a room or office via an unconventional route, try zip-tying/zap-strapping the doors from the inside (if the doors open-outwards). It works especially well if two offices (with people inside of course) are across the hall from each other and the doors open inwards. Then just tie the two doors to each other.

Or if you don't want to do the door thing (it can be a fire hazard to those trapped in the offices) try lowering all the office chairs to the lowest possible level and zip-tying them to the lowest level (one or two big ones should be enough). Endless frustration will ensue as co-workers try to raise their chairs to a useable level.

Sarand wrap the toilet!

Tub girl.

It doesn't make any sounds.

Wait...here's a question everyone overlooked. Does this building have security cameras? If it does, then how will you pull off the pranks and still keep your job?

True, but it's very offensive to the eyes.

You could always add some bizarre noises.

Dig up something of off the interwebs.

buy security gurads a bottle of cognac to either turn off the cameras or let you delete the tapes.

No porn, that WILL make me lose my job. I'm sticking with the more mild and harmless (to my job) things.

Masses of skag.

I always liked how they change the traffic lights to red, green, and yellow for Christmas.

okay here is one.
have the computer on start up say


*their name* you do a good job of turning me on.
I am now fully turned on.

That might work.

use windows task scheduler to set everyone's computers to shut off after, say, three hours of being on...

I have just deleted a slew of posts with suggestions for going to forbidden-link sites.

Okay, they weren't live links, and it's Christmas, and it was all a humanitarian gesture, etc, etc ... anyway, I'm not sending the Dementors after any of you, but remember that even the innocents who use NS for school are clever enough to do a search, and some of them even come here when school's out.

Go in to microsoft word and play with the autocorrect spelling thing...make it change your bosses name to "Jackass" or the company name to "hell".

Saranwrap over the door really tight so you can't see it.

Fill a closet with packing peanuts or tin foil or something similar.

Password protect everyones screen savers.

Set everyones mice to be set up for left handed people...it's reverse the left and right mouse buttons.

lol the ones in school are the most likely to know all those types of events.

:eek: Oh, no, say it isn't so! :eek:

On-topic: Office slalom passes the time, though it's better with more than one competitor. Just set up a course with suitable obstacles (wpbs, printers) and propel your chair with your feet.

There's also paperclip slingshot (with rubber band). Print out an actual target, or just aim for something you know and hate.

More boisterous friends used to play Overhead Fan Roulette. Note the past tense.

Speaking of time, SaintB must surely be finished his shift by now. Why are we still hanging round his office?

I'm wondering if SaintB still is employed...

Probably, since the efforts of GnD and myself were so effortlessly nipped in the bud. :p

Still got it, at it right now.

Foiled again!

There's always next Christmas, Tagmatium.
