Here's
a way to spice up your office. Pick two or three colleagues
and agree to play the Office Game which awards points as
follows:
ONE POINT
Run one lap around the office at top speed. Walk sideways
to the photocopier.
Find the vacuum and start vacuuming around your desk.
When they're not looking, pour most of someone's fresh
cup of coffee into your mug leaving them with an inch of
brew.
Ignore the first five people who say 'good morning' to
you.
Phone someone in the office you barely know, leave your
name and say "Just called to say I can't talk right
now. Bye."
To signal the end of a conversation, clamp your hands over
your ears and grimace.
While riding an elevator, gasp dramatically every time
the doors open.
THREE-POINTS
Babble incoherently at a fellow employee then ask "Did
you get all that, I don't want to have to repeat it."
- Double points if you do this to a manager.
Kneel in front of the water cooler and drink directly from
the nozzle.
Shout random numbers while someone is counting.
FIVE POINTS
At the end of a meeting, suggest that, for once, it would
be nice to conclude with the singing of the national anthem
(extra points if you actually launch into it yourself).
Walk into a very busy person's office and while they watch
you with growing irritation, turn the light switch on/off
10 times.
For an hour, refer to everyone you speak to as 'Bob'.
Announce to everyone in a meeting that you "really
have to go do number two".
After every sentence, say 'mon' in a really bad Jamaican
accent. As in, "the report's on your desk, mon".
Keep this up for one hour.
While an office mate is out, move their chair into the
elevator.
In a meeting or crowded situation, slap your forehead repeatedly
and mutter, "Shut up, all of you just shut up!"
In a colleague's diary, write in 10 am: "See how I
look in tights".
Carry your laptop over to your colleague and ask "You
wanna trade?"
Repeat the following conversation 10 times to the same
person: "Do you hear that?" "What?"
"Never mind, it's gone now"
Come to work in army fatigues and when asked why, say,
"I can't talk about it"
Speak with an accent (French, German, Porky Pig, etc.)
during a very important conference call.
Tuck one pant leg into your sock and when queried, answer,
"not now" and walk away.
