last day of work

[missioncontrol]

o.k. so if you've kept up with my interview thread you know I will be leaving my current place of employment  ........

what are some things you might consider doing on your last day or well maybe last week even......

[Stingray]

There's this switch in the main office here. Nobody knows what it does, yet no one is supposed to touch it. On my last day I'm flippin' that suckah.

is that the Panic Nuke Button ? 

[ChadTower]

On my last day of work I'm probably going to escort a pair of security guards to the front door.

[sirwoogie]

Is it big and Red and say "Only use in case of emergency" If it's an IT shop, then it may be main power cutoff

[billf]

Walk around with a _hit eatin' grin on my face!

It's a high school. The switch in question looks like an antique, and probably was part of the building's original fire alarm system, but a new electronic fire alarm control was installed in another part of the building years ago. Everyone is still scared of the mystery switch though.

[ChadTower]

It's the atomic bunker lockdown switch.  Flip it and 20 foot steel walls come down around the building.

[Stingray]

Just the possibility that what you say might be true makes me want to run out there and throw that switch!

-S

[billf]

Do it! Do it! Do it!

[Sephroth57]

press the button!

[Stingray]

Do it! Do it! Do it!  (on your way out for the weekend  )

Living up to my slacker image, I'm almost always the first one out the door on any given day. The main office is usually pretty crowded at that time, besides, if Chad's right, I'll be locked in for the weekend.

-S

[billf]

Then you better run fast after you pull it. 

[Stingray]

Curiosity is a terrible thing. I went out there and flipped the switch. Nothing.

-S

[Sephroth57]

dude you can make it, itll be like indiana jones

[missioncontrol]

sure Indiana Jones you know, but you don't know Mad Max???

another vote saying flip it.......

[ChadTower]

I've never seen Mad Max.

[Harry Potter]

And you probably activated the Nuclear Defence System in Russia. Nice move. 

[missioncontrol]

I've never seen Mad Max.

well that explains it all 

[MaximRecoil]

When I worked at the PCB factory, one of my co-worker's was on his last night there before relocating to Maryland for a Forest Ranger position of some sort. There was a woman that worked there that got on most everyone's nerves, but especially his. She was "snooty" as my mother would say. Now this guy was always a riot; a natural comedian; but that particular night would have to be the most entertaining night I have ever had at any job, ever.

His plan was to superglue her locker shut. This would have been funny I guess, but not nearly as funny as the antics that unfolded for the entire shift while he tried to accomplish his goal. It was definitely a "you had to be there" type event but it involved a large group effort across the different departments in the factory; suggesting and providing different types of glues and cements from their departments; with even some of the supervisors trying to come up with suggestions. Nothing worked to the point that it wouldn't open with a hard pull and he finally gave up at the end of the night.

-S

Stop it.  I need that light on, and it's too far to travel to keep flipping it back on.

Just STOP it.

[Stingray]

Sorry Drew. **turns lights back on**

-S

[ChadTower]

Maybe that is the "our country runs efficently" switch.  Flip it again, see if we pull out of Iraq.

[Stingray]

Hey now that you mention it, Rita was headed right for Houston before I flipped it.

[billf]

Wow, the power to change mother nature.

[MajorHavoc]

Hide an onion or potato in an inconspicuous location.  Preferably near  or in the office of an adversary or pita supervisor.  Time and decomposition do the rest.  If you have never  been downwind of a rotting potato or onion you can't appreciate the  power  of one of these little gems.  Alternatively, an unopened can of tuna with a few nail holes punched in the lid is also an awesome parting gift.  Duct tape it to the underside of a desk top or stick it above a drop ceiling tile.  Just don't get caught.             

[ChadTower]

Oh man yeah... when I was little, my mother and I went to NS to stay for a while.  We had an apartment in Mass at the time.  There was a bag of potatoes in the apartment.  When no one saw us for a month, and the bag of potatoes rotted, it smelled so bad that people called the cops thinking we were in there dead.

Now we know the where your username came from. 

[ChadTower]

I usually just let the dead bodies from my last day rampage send my parting message.

[missioncontrol]

It's kind of hard to make something out smell the smell at the plant. so that's out

[ChadTower]

Take a little electronic device that squeals and tape it behind a locker or something.  Give everyone a headache.

[missioncontrol]

ah ha I think I've got an idea one of the superviseor's names is Linda....

I need to find a wav file from the movie The Wedding Singer of that kid when he says "Hey Linda, your a ---smurfette---" and install that as every sound of her office computer.......

off to google I go...

One question what's a good software to edit a wav file???

I found it but it also includes Adam Sander's next line and I need to cut that out....


incidentally I also found a wave file from the same movie to go onto my other supervisors PC It's when Adam Sandler yells "I am an ---uvula---"

[shmokes]

Here are a couple of suggestions.  Get a regular can of cheap shaving cream....like the Colgate stuff, for example.  Put it in your freezer and the contents will expand and bust out of it's can.  Peel off the metal and you will have a solid cylinder of shaving cream.  Now, at quitting time, go hide it in one of the drawers in Linda's desk or filing cabinet.  As it thaws it will begin expanding, and you would not believe how much this stuff expands.  It will fill every drawer in the cabinet and spill out of every seam.  Use a few if you really want an enormous pile of shaving cream everywhere.

Another thing you could do, depending on what type of desk she has is go in and take the drawers completely out of the desk.  Now roll the desk completely upside down and put the drawers back in her desk.  With the drawer's in the desk roll it back right side up, being careful not to let any of the drawers slide open at all in the process.  When Linda pulls one of her drawers upen the entire contents will crash to the floor.  Not only will it surprise the hell out of her -- she'll probably scream -- she simply will not even understand how what just happened could possibly have happened.  She'll think, "How did someone turn my drawer upside down without everything falling out?  How did they get it back in the desk?"  And since it won't occur to her to have someone tip the desk upside down, she will proceed to just bite the bullet and pull out ever drawer and watch its contents spill all over her office floor.

[Stingray]

I wish I disliked someone enough to try the shaving cream thing, that one is truely genius.

should already be on your windows machine, you can delete from a point onward or before in the wav

[missioncontrol]

What are you trying to do take away the tile Stingray gave me???

[Stingray]

Imagine if you got stuck in traffic as your car fills with shaving cream. Now that would be some good comedy.
