    I put a leadership course (workbook and study guide) on my boss's desk about 3 years into the contract, I can promise he never read it.

    Shouldn’t be long. They arrive in 2 days. Then, I distribute them randomly to 4 or 5 hospitals we both work at, and wait to see what happens as he is made aware. Could be fun, or he could retaliate in a nuclear fashion. Actually, fun either way.

    eta: yeah, I realize this defines me as an asshole. So be it.

    Oh. That’s a whole different level. Kudos, my liege.

    I would have included H.R.'s extension. Saying if you like this pen, dial ext XXXX.

    But i'm also the one during dept meeting # 3 of the day. When the director mentioned productivity seemed to be lagging the last 2 weeks.
    Said.
    You know, if we didn't spend over 3 hours of the work day rehashing what we discussed the day before. I'm sure, and others while not saying publicly they agree. Productivity would not only increase, but exceed the monthly schedule.
    However since i'm not a dept supervisor, what do i know.

    Not sure if those where chairs squeaking, or others in attendance trying to suppress a laugh.

    I was under the impression you were friends and this was a friendly prank. Funny either way. I've had many office pranks that I never executed but wished I had.

    Yeah, we’re friends. But friends who prank, and retaliate viciously. Could get out of hand. Oops.

    That just makes the work day that much more pleasant when you can joke around.

    Some of the most entertaining pranks I've seen, or been involved in, were among close friends that work together...
