falling into an office rut?

play the office game! gather together a few co-workers and beat the boredom!
here's how it goes:

1 point
  • run 1 lap around the office at top speed
  • walk sideways to the photocopier
  • find the vacuum and start vacuuming around your desk
  • when they're not looking, pour out most of someone's coffee leaving them with an inch or less of java
  • ignore the first 5 people who say "good morning" to you
  • to signal the end of a conversation, clamp your hands over your ears and grimace
  • phone someone in the office you barely know, leave your name and number and say "just called to say i can't talk right now. bye!"
  • while riding an elevator, gasp dramatically everytime the doors open

3 points

  • babble incoherently at a fellow employee then ask "did you get all that? i like repeating myself!" - double points if you do this to a manager
  • kneel in front of the water cooler and drink directly from the nozzle
  • put your shoes in a bag in the fridge with a sign that says "property of (your name here). hands off!"
  • shout random numbers while someone is counting
  • tape off the area around your desk with masking tape and tell people to stay outside the "hot zone"

5 points

  • at the end of a meeting, suggest that, for once, it would be nice to conclude with the singing of the national anthem - extra points if you actually start singing)
  • for an hour, refer to everyone you speak to as "bob"
  • flick the light switch in your office on/off frantically telling everybody it's time to "party down!!"
  • after every sentence, say "mon" in a really bad jamacian accent... as in, "the report's on your desk, mon." keep this up for an hour
  • in a meeting or crowded situation, slap your forehead repeatedly and mutter, "shut up! all of you just sht up!"
  • repeat the following conversation 10 times with yourself: "do you hear that?" "what?" "never mind, it's gone now." - bonus point for a nervous tic
  • tuck one pant leg into your sock and when queried, answer, "not now" and walk away

what's your score???
