My job rocks, part V
Apr. 1st, 2005 04:39 pmAn insurance salesman came into our office today, wielding a folder and a toy duck that quacks the company name when you squeeze it.
Thus set the stage for our crime of opportunity this April 1.
After a quick, slightly invasive, toy duck soundmaker-ectomy, we had a small trigger and our chosen victim conveniently occupied with a meeting in the next room. His desk chair also had a tear in the vinyl conveniently located to position the soundmaker under the covering of the chair so that it would trigger when he sat down.
It turns out that when one's leg is obscuring the noisemaker, it also makes it very difficult to discern the direction of the sound, so this happened a number of times before it was discovered. I was accused of having a remote control device.
Much fun.
I also had another toner scam artist call me and try to get me to sign off on buying toner cartidges for our copier for a mere $350. I let him go on for a while before I let him know that I'm aware that our toner is included in our service contract, wished him a nice April fool's day, said I hoped no one else he called today got suckered, and hung up.
Also much fun.
