Feeling bored in the office.....

[Julia]

(Quite long email but worth it!)

Feeling bored in the office? Surely not
Want to try something new and exciting to do? Why not initiate an office dare system - however to do it properly only you are allowed to know the dare. Sound confusing?
Well read on...

ONE-POINT OFFICE DARES
· Run one lap around the office at top speed.
· Groan out loud in the toilet cubicle (at least one other 'non-player' must be in the toilet at the time).
· Ignore the first five people who say 'good morning' to you.
· Phone someone in the office you barely know, leave your name and say, "Just called to say I can't talk right now. Bye."
· To signal the end of a conversation, clamp your hands over your head.
· When someone hands you a piece of paper, finger it, and whisper huskily, "Hmmm, that feels soooooo good!"
· Leave your zipper open for one hour. If anyone points it out, say, "Sorry, I really prefer it this way".
· Walk sideways to the photocopier.
· While riding in a lift, gasp dramatically every time the doors open

THREE-POINTS DARES

· Say to your boss, "I like your style" and shoot him with double-barreled fingers.
· Babble incoherently at a fellow employee then ask, "Did you get all that, I don't want to have to repeat it".
· Page yourself over the intercom (do not disguise your voice).
· Kneel in front of the water cooler and drink directly from the nozzle (there must be a 'non-player' within sight).
· Shout random numbers while someone is counting.


FIVE POINT DARES

· 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 launch into it yourself).
· Walk into a very busy person's office and while they watch you with
growing irritation, turn the light switch on/off 10 times.
· For an hour, refer to everyone you speak to as "Bob".
· Announce to everyone in a meeting that you "really have to go do a number two".
· After every sentence, say 'Mon.' in a really bad Jamaican accent - As in "the report's on your desk, Mon.". Keep this up for one hour.
· While an office mate is out, move their chair into the lift.
· In a meeting or crowded situation, slap your forehead repeatedly and mutter, "Shut up, damn it, all of you just shut up!".
· At lunchtime, get down on your knees and announce, "As God is my
witness, I'll never go hungry again."
· In a colleague's diary, write in 10am: "See how I look in tights".
· Carry your keyboard over to your colleague and ask, "You wanna trade?â€

Amazing how you pass the time in a boring office!

God, the one-point dares were the funniest....although paging myself over the intercom made me cry laughing.

Just wish I'd read that earlier on a boring Friday afternoon. Ah well, the rest will have to wait til next week!

When leaving the zoo, start running towards the parking lot yelling,
"Run for your lives, they're loose!"

I shall try this when leaving my local Peugeot dealer at the earliest opportunity

Oh God Julia - you do make me smile...i was actually laughing out loud reading this. You know where i work and a lot of this isn't relevant...HOWEVER....

ONE-POINT OFFICE DARES
· Run one lap around the office at top speed.

I get my lads to run around the hanger regularly when they fuck up...

· Ignore the first five people who say 'good morning' to you.

Usually Officers, and i usually ignore 10 or more of them...

· Leave your zipper open for one hour. If anyone points it out, say, "Sorry, I really prefer it this way".

You have met my mate Bonner and seen how easy it is for us to get naked!

· Babble incoherently at a fellow employee then ask, "Did you get all that, I don't want to have to repeat it".

Yep...thats me briefing my team!

FIVE POINT DARES

· 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 launch into it yourself).

Being in the military, we do this anyway...altogether now....


· For an hour, refer to everyone you speak to as "Bob".

We prefer to use "Dave"

· Announce to everyone in a meeting that you "really have to go do a number two".

This is standard operating procedure.

· Come to work in army fatigues and when asked why, say, "I can't talk about it".

I do this every day...nothing unusual...I don't get the joke here!!???!!

· Speak with an accent (French, German, Porky Pig, etc) during a very important conference call.

I do this every day, I fooled Theresa yesterday pretending to be US Air Force Major Joe King and also fooled my mate Shakey by pretending to be Portuguese (I speak Portuguese. Julia doesn't. Long story!)

· Ask people what sex they are. Laugh hysterically after they answer.

Julia didn't get to meet Elmo the other night. ladyboy.

· Put mosquito netting around your work area. Play a tape of jungle sounds all day.

Or just go to work in Africa and do it for real...
