do what you love...


Today is one of those days that remind me of why I love my job.  I woke up this morning not feeling 100%, but I refuse to give in.  I honestly think I could crawl right back into bed and sleep for about 12 hours and I'd be a-ok with that.

So we have this training at work this week over at our DO.  A few of the guys went yesterday, and a few more today.  Our little Evan is out of the office today, so we decided that it would only be appropriate to mess with his personal effects and items on and around his desk.  God love him, he is the sweetest kid ever...

Those of us who were left behind in the office gathered around his desk for a JCM (job coordination meeting - for those of you who do not work here at lovely OIA).  We called the meeting to order and started throwing ideas around.  "Let's remove some of his keys on his keyboard and switch them around."  Sounds good.  I said, "Can we liquid nail something to his desk?  How hilarious would that be next time he tries to staple something and it won't budge?"  We agreed to screw the stapler into the desk instead.  Check.  "Tape his mouse to his computer screen?"  Check.  "Take a wheel off of his chair so it will be an issue when he sits down?"  Check.  "Staple the arms of his jacket closed?"  Check.  "Blue tape his files all together?"  Check. "Fill his gloves with expanding foam?" Check. "Take a picture of his gloves and send it to  his phone while he is in training?"  Check check.

I received a text message shortly later which simply said, "Wtf?"

I replied, "What?"

He replied, "My gloves."

I said, "I know nothing."

He said, "BS."

I said, "Code of conduct.  You shouldn't be texting during training, Evan."

He said, "Not coming back to work."

Evan will be returning to work at approximately 1500 hours.
To be continued...
