Ghost
At work a co-worker got upgraded to a window office across the hall from me, so we naturally had to rig up an office-warming surprise for him.
The shut door looks innocent enough..
.. until you open it and a ghost pops up to scare you!
The idea was that opening the door quickly would cause the Angel of Death to pop up from the shadows and startle the victim. The bright yellow network cable probably looked suspicious as the door was opening up, but we had to make do with the supplies in the office.
Unfortunately, the prank was not a huge success and didn't really scare anybody, as you can see in the YouTube video below. We tried it out on various other co-workers and got similarly underwhelming reactions.

Well, you got a genuine smile when nobody else was around, which is a pretty great thing. 🙂

I like it! And it would have scared me (I scare easily)and because of this, my reflex reaction would have been to grab it and kill it. For which I would have owed you a major apology, and also a trip somewhere to replace your now destroyed Angel of Death. But then I would have thought it was cool that someone took the time two welcome me so uniquely.
So…just what does someone have to do there to be upgraded to a window office? (she wonders as she gazes out of the window in her office.)

As far as I can tell, the condition for a window office is something like “work at the company for 7 or more years”

Really? That’s all it takes? There are folks who have been here 20 years who still don’t have a window!
So…how long have you been there?
January 21st, 2008 - 11:40
I’ve been there about 3 years, so I still have a while left :).
Out of curiosity, what does it take at your company? It sounds like it’s not based on time?

Well, in my case, it was based on incredible wit and beauty. 🙂
But for most, it seems to have to do with being an officer or executive. Curious because I am not an officer or an executive. And there is no chance of this happening in the future. So…it’s just one of those things that seriously, some (who are much higher up the ladder than I am)have wandered into my cube and said, “Whoa…nice view…” Sometimes it makes me feel a little guilty.

And, yes, I do see my typo (two instead of to) in my earlier comment. Duh!
January 21st, 2008 - 21:10
Hmm I didn’t even notice the typo. Sounds like you got lucky with the window office! Unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to use my incredible beauty to get a window office where I work. 🙂

See, my incredible wit and beauty even worked on masking my typo…
