Second year at the same job. Actually that was back at the end of February. But the point is things are fairly stable at my job. I finally feel comfortable pulling a mild practicle joke. It helps that I get along fairly well with my immediate coworkers.

I was trying to figure out what would make for a good joke. I thought about baking something with a fould taste. I just can’t do that. I like to cook and it would be a shame to make something on purpose that was awfull. Then it hit me. Just buy some doughnuts and ask for a second box.

Take the second box and fill it with cheap plastic doughnut rings from walmart. Leave the fake box out on the table. Sit back and wait for people to come up and go to take a doughnut.

Nice, simple, harmless, and you get to enjoy some doughnuts. And we already know, I loves me some doughnuts.

 Now I admit it is not much of a joke. And I may do more little things as well throughout the day. Like a post-it not under the mouse, sticky side on the mouse. Works well for both laser and ball mice. You could always go with the prank email, but those can be tricky. You have to be carefull with the content and wording.

I am certain there are other “work place safe” pranks so lets hear them.
