Foolin' around

Today is April Fool's Day. Since I have a penchant for fooling around 364 days of the year, I tend to leave today alone. If nothing else, it is the one single day people can accuse me of something and the reply can be a very honest "nope, not me!" And today was definitely a "nope, not me" kind of day! Here for your enjoyment are the April 1, 2009 office shenanigans.

Arrivals were greeted by friendly crime scene tape and a notice from the "police" (did Sting put the band back together?):

Getting past the crime scene tape and venturing down the hall and you'll see that KDW's office was stripped:

No chairs, no pictures, no work, no nothing. (K - you should have left when you had the chance!) And what culprit would even THINK of leaving behind the stunningly gorgeous (cough!) faux wood-with-metal-and-plastic turned stylish-but-eerily-80's office furniture? A serious head scratching moment.

But lest you get comfortable and think the April foolin' was done, peek in to the next office. Yes, blog fans, it is the inevitable body outline:

This is what happens when you displease the boss. We don't know if the victim had the audacity to ask for a raise or if she mentioned the kids were looking like they needed a shave and their teeth filed, but word has it the poor soul trekked to the cafeteria to get coffee after being offed. Um. Wait. Was there something about kids needing a shave and teeth filed?

Yep. Kid pics were replaced with zoo animals. Pen caddies were replaced with dog food cans.

Again, let me reiterate that this was definitely a "nope, not me" kind of day. I proudly proclaim my innocence in the foolin'. Although employed last-minute as the photographer, I had no knowledge the shenanigans were goin' down, nor did I have a hand in staging any of the pranks. Like all good modern day pranksters, however, the actual culprits posed for a photo in front of their handiwork:

BUSTED! (But how nice of ya'll to be so color coordinated for your mug shots. That was uber thoughtful.)
