2 of my coworkers and I played a friendly little trick on another coworker today. He was swamped with work & while he's not awfully verbal, he gets pretty melodramatic with the loud sighing, and muttering & cursing under his breath. So he left his desk for a few & the three of us wrote up 3 fake assignments for him, all of them urgent & bizarre. We had another coworker slip them on his desk & then we all waited for him to find them. We three turned bright pink stifling our anticipatory laughter & when he finally saw his new 'assignments' we all laughed so hard we were crying & coughing & peeing. Good stuff, especially working in hospice--we need levity.
