Rally Week & Prank Wars
April 7th, 2009 . by Erin The GreatI am happy to announce that I am officially 7 days past April Fool’s Day and my friends from last year have yet to seek retribution for what is more formally known as ‘my finest hour’. As some of you might remember, I used April’s wonderful first day (2008) to put two of my friends’ cars up for sale on the Internet as well as signing another one up for an online dating service. After a few ill fated attempts to silence my antics, I remained victorious.
I’m not going to lie. I was a little worried what last week was going to bring me, especially since it was rally week. Rally week in my place of employment is when the departments put together a rally for the workers in order to recognize hard work and boost morale. It’s a really good idea and gets the troops off their phones for at least an hour and a half and they are really fun and full of energy… minus the executive assistants who are huddled in a corner maintaining what little energy we have left after running around like chickens with our heads cut off (and we do this in heels). It’s crazy but I love it. I love my job… minus rally week. And unfortunately for me, rally week coincided with April Fool’s Day. The wonderful thing about pulling pranks on this blessed day is you never think ‘hmmm, there is a good possibility I’m going to be crazy out of my mind busy about a year from now, and should probably refrain from pulling such silly shenanigans’… I like to think I’m this smart and prepared but I’m not. Luckily for me my prey from the year before were hoping beyond hope that I wouldn’t strike again… I received a text message later that day saying ‘thank you for not putting my car up for sale again this year’. You’re welcome good buddy! Since you guys never retaliated, I had no reason to continue with my one sided prank war.
One day I will find someone who can properly battle my crazy pranking prowess. For now I will remain in bed nursing a stomach virus I received from Mr. History Channel. Our first communal sickness…How cute! At least I survived Rally Week!
That car ad was a genius! Sorry you didn’t get punked this year.
Aghh I would have died if a friend signed me up for a dating service without permission! You ARE good!!
revenge is a dish best served cold.
i’d still watch my back, if i were you.
sorry about the bug. i hope mr. history channel redeems himself.
Communal sicknesses ARE cute!
Also, another good prank idea is to put someone’s name up on the ride board at BYU. They get tons of calls from weirdos.
Dude, you DO have pranking prowess!! And communal sickness are strangely cute, although the stomach flu is never cute. I feel a bit sick just talking about it.
