Well?

I'll start...

I had all the service advisors call in sick and then show up 3-5 mins late just to screw with the new Service Manager. After the 2nd one called in, they knew what was up. LOL

May call my mom and tell her we're preggo... Dunno.

What are you doing?

Informed my FB friends I won a Renault LeCar on ebay (and posted an auction that just ended).

Fooled some, but most know of my complete disdain for French cars.

I had some leftover egg bake from yesterday. I pretended to choke on it to scare my kids but it backfired on me and I actually inhaled some and really choked on it until I hacked it back out on the counter.

I like to close all the programs on a pc, create a folder right in the middle of the desktop named "Horse Porn" or something similar and then hit print screen and delete the folder. Paste that to paint and save it and set that image as the wallpaper.

People go nuts trying to select and delete that new folder.....if they notice it at all.

I put googly eyes on everything in the fridge. I froze water in the kids cereal bowls and the poured a thin layer of milk and cereal on top of that. Put a couple drops of food coloring on the kids toothbrushes. Put clear gelatin in their glasses of water. Stuffed tissues in the toes of their shoes so they are just a bit too small. And I put salted cream cheese in an old toothpaste tube, but I haven't put that one out yet. And they haven't figured out that there is a wireless mouse yet.

Am I a bad parent/person?

I walked in to my office and said this was going to be an awesome day and we have the best job in the world.

The joke being that my office's morale is painfully low.

I've already done my usual mild office pranks: -zip tie the height adjustment lever up on two office mate's chairs. Causes the seat to go down to the lowest position everytime they sit down. -post it notes on the underside of the mouse with some fun comments written on it. -informed one sales guy that there was a goose roosting on his car. He went running out to scare it off. This one was very effective given that there was a goose right beside his car.

Sometimes I do the inverted monitor screenshot trick, but haven't had the opportunity yet.

My company uses a feature in Outlok email that makes your company ID photo show next to your name on every email you send. There is an option to change the picture if you don't like your ID photo. My team changed our photos to cartoon charactors for today.

I went the opposite route...

The only "real" April-Fools prank I tried today was pouring a bunch of marbles into the cat-food dish as my cat was going nuts wanting his Meow-Mix topped-up...

This did not end well for me.
