Played a great April Fool’s joke on the boss.

He’s been in Europe for the past 2 weeks on business. Having a lot of fun, too. The company is downsizing and laying off people like crazy, so it occured to me to play on any insecurities he might have about his own position with the company.

I had a little brown door sign made that says “Closet.” The guys at the trophy shop made one for me at lunch yesterday. Cost $3 and it matches the name plates they use in the building.

Took a bunch of large cardboard boxes, assorted sizes and condition, and stacked them floor to ceiling in the boss’s office in front of his desk and around the door, so that when you open the door all you see is boxes in every direction.

Slide out the boss’s nameplate on his office door and slid in the “Closet” sign.

He got back from his trip and came in to work this morning. Freaked out. Loved it.
