Office Pranks

There have been a number of office pranks of late in the office. Most of them have had nothing to do with me (who is the usual culprit), but I have been blamed for all of them! The other day somebody removed the wheels from somebodys computer chair. A few days later, somebody else switched all the computer keys around on Scott's keyboard. However, I thought this did not compare to what I did today. You can use the 'print screen' command, which copies whatever is on the screen at any time. I did this for a neighbors desktop background (after hiding the toolbar). I then put the 'print screen' as the background on the computer. I then moved all of the desktop items in one folder that wasn't on the desktop. The result is a wallpaper that looks exactly like the old one, but you can't click on any of the icons because they are just included in the background picture and are not real. I did it to this poor guy who has had a number of IT issues lately, he was getting very frustrated. I just did it my my home computer, we will see how Shannon reacts tomorrow morning (I predict a call to my work first thing in the morning complaining how the computer won't work).
