My favourite ever work prank OR Vengence I

At work, when we are not absolutely overcome with trying to save the world one report at a time, pranking has been known to happen...

After a few close calls with reports going to committees with the occasional 'I'm so stupid I don't deserve to live' sentences added in by workmates, or a few autocorrects 'the' to 'tit' you soon learn to lock your computer...

Unless you are the key perpetrator...so workmate who we SHall call Aryn, is always playing tricks on me...including the month long episode where I lost all my stationary and was so afraid that I was losing my mind that I didn't even tell anyone...I mean you can lose a pencil quite easily but pencils, rulers, cellotape holders, staplers, holepunchers...anyway...after some very discreet 'has anyone seen my stapler?' remarks Aryn confessed after a couple of months (serious stickability)...anyway so time for the actual blog...VENGENCE...

Aryn leaves her computer unlocked...I jump on...I am struck by inspiration just like Michaelangelo painting the Sistine Chapel...and I start to write...

"Dear (R) Od, I find you very attractive (he actually is quite lovely looking...but I didn't let on...). Love Sharyn" (oops I mean Aryn)...

but, and here is the genius part...I tell Od that I am doing it...and by our genius combined, he drafts a reply email..."Aryn, well this is really awkward, you know I'm engaged'....

Then we sit like lions in wait...and she returns to her desk.

send (click).

ding ding...you have mail...

silence, Aryn's face is RED...

Did she have some lapse in self control and send him a seductive email...did Sumo send the email to Od from her account in a terrible prank and he really thinks she is in love with him, did she mean to send a little remark to all the other ladies in the office who think he is hot...she says NOTHING.

I'm glad my back is facing her as Od and I are both about as red as her by this point but from holding in the laughter

she checks her sent items...

the jig is up...but she is too scared to call it...

I confess...and that was better than the holepunch stuck to the desk (and subsequent confetti explosion) and the missing stationary, and the stamp pad ink on Aryn's phone and the switching the superceded and amended stamps...all added together.

what can I say...it was inspired.
