i love practical jokes, especially at work

for the record, i'm alive and well and back at work!

i have to blog about the highlight of my work day so far (in case i don't get internet tonight or i forget).

different divisions at my work are constantly fundraising to raise funds for the upcoming christmas dinner. (for you private workers, we fundraise becuase we can't use public funds for social events). so planning division hosted a breakfast cart fundraising event, selling donuts, bagels, fruit and english muffins. the breakfast cart didn't stop by our section, so all my coworkers, except 1, art, and myself grouped up to locate the breakfast cart. we thought it was odd that art, one who is known in my section for having an insatiable appetite, wasn't gonna grab some breakfast goodies with us. (i say he's known to have an insatiable appetite because coworkers have commented, 'yeah, that pie is still there because art isn't here to eat it. haha.' and he usually visits other divisions and sections and reports back to us what kind of goodies other divisions and sections have.) so we asked him, 'what? you're not getting food with us?! are you sick, art?!?' he replies, 'i'm on a diet.' his boss responds, 'since when?' art replies, 'since i just finished this bagel.' (hahaha).

so we get to the breakfast cart and i get myself a bagel. i see a really pretty frosted and sprinkled donut and conspire with my other coworker to get it for art and taunt him despite his 'diet'. i got the pretty spinkled donut and placed it next to his keyboard while he was on the phone with his head turned and quietly walked back to my cubicle. about 5 mins later, i hear from art's cube, 'is this some kind of joke?! where did this come from?!' my coworker and i are laughing so hard. i said, 'it's for you!' after some contemplation, art says, 'if no one claims this donut in 30 mins, it's gone.' about 30 mins pass, art yells from his cube, 'thanks for the donut!' i reply, 'you're welcome!' art: 'a-ha! it was you!' LOLOL.

practical jokes are so much fun. so much for his 'diet'. hahaha.
