A Good Practical Joke

If you were to ask me, there is nothing better than a good practical joke. Pulling them off at work is the best. Mainly because you have more tools to set it up and also the challenge of not getting caught.

While a co-worker went to have his lunch break, we set up an IV with the tubing hidden and eventually taped under the desk right where it would drip right onto his lap. Once he comes back, we are talking and laughing and what not. When he slides in front of his computer to do something, I sneak around the corner and opened up the fluids. Just as planned, he sat there for a couple of seconds until he realized his pants were wet. Unfortunately it wasn't a direct hit and just got on his pant leg. Next victim was this girl who was sitting at another desk; when we were cracking up laughing she hadn't a clue as to what happened, even though she was no more than 15 feet away. Anyways, we asked her if she could come over and show us her myspace page. Just for a side note, myspace is super retarded. Anyways, she is addicted to it so she quickly slid over to show us. Just as she is pointing out pictures, I again, sneak around and opened it up. This was a direct hit. And not only did we get her once, she is so obsessed with it, she moved back over to continue on with the pictures. Got her again. Than we pulled the respiratory therapists into it. I had them sit in front of the computer and watch the security camera because I was going to pull a prank on the front desk person. As she sat there all focused and excited, I again went around and opened up the fluids. Another direct hit. Of course than we had to get the new respiratory therapist, another direct hit. It was an extremely slow night and we did this for probably 4 hours. As far as I know, we never got caught....

Other pranks at work include hiding under a bed sheet as a dead body and start moving when an unsuspected victim gets near the body. Another one is taking all the toys that we use for real life education. Things such as bloody wounds you put on your arm, etc, etc. While I was lying in the bed being decorated by my co-workers, the story would be that I slipped and fell in the bathroom and had to have surgery done. We even got the doctor to play along with this one. When the lab guy came to draw my blood, he saw me and looked like he was going to cry. The respiratory therapist wasn't too impressed with the situation and didn't find it the least bit funny. Too bad for him. And with this one, we even decided to try and get the nursing supervisor. When she saw me she was ready to try and find a replacement for me.

Best part with all of these are, I have never got caught. However, these may have something to do with my label, "A bored Sarah is a bad Sarah".
