Name something silly you have done at work due to boredom

Someone called out office on Friday Night (I hate shift work). Due to sheer boredom and the need to give myself a laugh I did the following... Instead of answering the phone with the standard "0371, Network Support" I decided to be silly and answer...

"300, THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!"

They hung up and never called back.

Damn my job sucks...

Hmm.. let's see...

I've hidden candies throughout the station - tell the next shift that the Easter Bunny showed up.

I've ran upstairs to our gym and brought down an exercise mat so that I could do some stretching.

Go on the intercom and whisper "Save the cheerleader!"

years ago, one of my bosses had a boil on the back of his neck neutral so I convinced a co-worker to get him to let us write a "W" on either side of it so it said WOW.

Very prudent of you.

Your boss and his neck boil might well have been the inspiration for the film "How to Get Ahead in Advertising".
