Oh good lord one of my supervisors just snapped!
This is the same one who screamed at everyone a few weeks back "If you say you are having a problem with your computer, than you are out of a job. It is the company's computer":eyes: She is a joke to everyone and no one takes her seriously...well, just now, she issued a fatwa of sorts to everyone and screamed...

"I know there are rumors going around that I don't do any work, but just so you know, I do work! Those rumors are wrong! The reason I don't answer any of your questions is so you can figure out things on your own and so I do not have to be walking from cubicle to cubicle when things are happening."

This woman's daily activities when she is on the floor....internet shopping, reading catalogs and magazines, and endlessly talking on the phone. I don't think that anyone has ever seen her work. I had to work very hard not to laugh during her little breakdown and I think everyone else did too. I can see her desk from here...she is on her cell phone:P

It's gonna be a FUN day:crazy:

13. That was good.
The newspaper wrap was my favorite, although the keyboard thru the desk trick was pretty good too.

It's been a long time since I worked someplace where we could get away with practical jokes!

8. Crazy glue all her shit to her desk or glue the space bar on her computer
Inter-office terrorism is a required survival tool here. I'm lucky enough to work with a team who believes "if you can't take a joke, then get the hell out"!

LMAO it made me think of an old recording I had heard a long time ago by a group called the Ace trucking co. it was a group of improvisation comedians before second city was on the air waves.

:rofl:

11. Simple solution, sneak into her office, have someone lure
her out of her cave is necessary, then climb under her desk and every so slightly pull out her network cable, just enough so the light switches off - even better if it's just at the brink of connectivity so the network is off and on.

She'll fucking explode the second she realizes the internet is gone, but she'll be forced to either say "Is the network down for anyone else", or suck it up.

12. I love when that happens
A couple of weeks ago my manager sent everybody a nasty e-mail because she didn't get anything for boss' appreciation day. Can you imagine the nerve? Here's the best part-she had the day wrong. We pitched in to get her flowers, but were tempted not to give them to her.

14. A friend of mine swears by this as a way to mess with someone:
put some tape around one prong of an electric plug - like to a light or something and plug it back in. Apparently that prevents current flow, so the item won't work - but it usually takes the messee a long time to find the problem. Just saying.

16. Unplug anything with an electrical cord.
A standard size staple fits very nicely between the prongs, and can't be seen unless you look very closely. Leave the unplugged cord lying in plain sight. When she plugs it in -- one vaporized staple, or one tripped circuit breaker.

Next time, just unplug the cord and leave it. She'll have to check very carefully...

Repeat until snap becomes permanent.

17. She sounds almost like a cartoon character.
And she gets to call herself a boss. Amazing. I wonder how that happened.
