I maintain a video-billboard in my office. We usually post Trivia, new product Announcements, Top performing Employees, etc.... Well, This past April 1st, I posted an ad for the new "Pool on the Roof". So many people fell for it because they had just completed actual repairs to the roof the last week of March. They were up there for weeks making noise (we're on the top floor). Even after I took the sign down, people were swearing they saw it after April 1st. They didn't! It came down at midnight!

This was a while back, but my mom very nearly let us stay home from school, thinking my doctored screenshot was real school-closing news. So close....

Conan the Librarian is another timeless gag. It listens to the microphone and tells you to "shut up!" whenever you make noise.

Tim is our gay friend who visited from Japan last weekend. Garrett is my straight coworker who Tim had a crush on this weekend. Kathleen is my evil friend who will probably take this April Fool's Day joke too far...Sorry Garrett! :)

I think I might be a teensy bit cruel for this one, but I played a mean trick on my mom. I spoke with her last night about an injury I had to go to the ER for on Sunday and she told me to take ibuprofen and ice it like a good mother would. I used whatever make-up I had and little turmeric powder along the edge for some yellowness...when I told my mom it was a joke she told me I should be beaten :(

You had me for a minute, but then I remembered how you put post-it notes in my family's sandwiches for our spring break picnic over ten years ago and how my poor grandpa ate his entire sandwich and didn't notice!

After months of research, we (YouTube) figured out that the way to get the very best video quality on the internets is to display it upside down.

I changed the name on my iTunes Library to one of my co-worker's who takes his music very seriously. Then I put the attached playlist on our shared network. We'll see how long it takes people to notice.

at lunch I noticed that tommyka was having a conversation with one of the bosses at nozebra, so I got up to his computer, changed his desktop-background with a printscreen of his desktop, hid all his icons and dragged the taskbar out of sight (I know, it's a classic).
when he got back he started frantically clicking and eventually (when nothing happened) started a reboot, by which time I couldn't help but burst out in laughter -- I am kind of sorry that I didn't try to keep it up until the point where his computer had finished rebooting and all his open windows were still there. oh well..
now I guess I'll have to watch my back for the rest of the day, in fear of retaliation..

My boss, Robert, and I made a little website called "emojitales." Since I'm a small fish and he is a medium-sized fish in the internet pond, he has been getting the credit. To give him a hard time I sent him this text message (1) and he followed up over IM (2). His initial response is a testament to his character. I wish I would have drug it out longer, but I'd like to think I took his attention away from whatever XBOX game he was playing long enough for him to get fragged a couple of times.
