Awe yes, today is April fools day! The one day a year where destroying a fellow works cube or putting color paint on the windshield wipers of their car to make it spread a rainbow is considered “good fun”. Who came up with this anyway? What schmuck decided that the first day of April will be set aside to prank people and worse keep perpetuating it by doing something bigger than last year. So far today the local football team has a new terrible quarterback, my company has opened a branch office in Hawaii, and Google has gotten people fired by putting a minion character on sent emails.
First of all, if you got fired over a minion on your email your employment was already in jeopardy. If it wasn’t, your boss really needs the help of some anti-anxiety meds. Secondly, is this really your first time around the block? Every year someone goes too far and we all see it on the internet or on the local news. Some brother somewhere is filling their siblings pool with jello or yard with manure in the annual “go too far” prank which will be our cautionary tale for the year. The only thing to be thankful for is that it is only once a year and none of yours or my siblings have that kind of money to pull off an over the top clean up nightmare!
