Here's my plan:  Wilma works nights and usually takes a nap before work.  I plan on sneaking into the bedroom 10 minutes before she usually gets up and move the clock ahead 30 minutes.  Then wake her up and ask if she's going to work.

I saw a tv infomercial today claiming the traeger was the best thing since sliced bread....sadly i don't think it was their intent for it to be an April Fools joke

My sous chef came in this morning and I told him we are short a dishwasher and a cook today and he will have to close. He asked if I tried to call other staff in and while he was watching I faked calls to other staff. He is running around all panicked trying to get things lined up for the day. Im going to let this ride for a few more hours until about 1030am local time, its 836 am here now. At 1030 or so the staff start coming in for the day.

I installed a pull out kitchen spray faucet last week. Going to do the old tape around the handle prank when she turns on the main kitchen faucet

As someone who has spent many years around restaurants.....that is cruel....good....but cruel.

If you work in an office where there is a copier shared by many, put a sign on it that says. "Voice Activated Feature Recently Installed.  Place item on copier, close lid and say "3 copies please".   If this new feature doesn't work after 3 attempts, please notify (support person name)."

I was listening to the New Music Friday playlist on Spotify and got Rick Rolled.

Last year I got up super early and went to the office and put small sticky notes on the bottom of everyone's mouse so the laser pointer won't read the movement. Did this to the entire staff of our engineering firm (about 120 people) Man was it awesome! So many people crawled under their desks checking connections, force restarting their computers and emailing IT from their phone. I played the trick on myself also to not stand out. Once they figured it out it was back to work as usual, however in the afternoon the president sent a message saying how genius the joke was and also how much I cost the company money. 

They never found out who did it

Last night we put a sign on the door and read you have been evicted from your office and have the weekend to move out. HR lady was not happy to say the least.

Funny how you guys are more worried about the wife than the cook with knives.  Hmmm ... @Fred19Flintstone you might think about hiding the knives ... Mrs Bobbitt and all!

Wilma knows it would be "cutting her nose to spite her face" to shorten the wizard's wand.  Dating Mr. Michigan would get old, you know.

Yup, Yeti got me today. Kind of embarrasing

I thought last years AFD joke was pretty cool.

That Yeti video is brilliant.

Thanks for the idea.  I pulled this on my colleagues today who were out in the field.  Big laughs!  Thanks again!
