Inspired lunacy on a crappy morning

kybearfuzzI am beat. I am acting boss. I don't want to be anywhere but bed.
Still, I am here. Whenever I am in this mood, I try to keep myself occupied as nothing makes the day go faster than not looking at the clock. In the early morning, after getting my first dose of caffeine (my... precious...), I looked for a prank victim. I've been trying to do this often as office morale has been fluctuating of late. Co-worker Roy is a favorite target because of his good nature.
Roy did a presentation not long ago. In the beginning, he had a spur-of-the-moment idea to have us write on a piece of paper "Roy is Great" so that when he got boring and everyone was looking down at the paper, we would be reminded how great our speaker was. It has stuck with us as we will walk by his desk and yell "Roy is Great!" for no reason. We have even thought of starting a cult, the RIGgies, and banging tamborines at the Cincinnati airport in his honor. Because of his jovial nature and good humor, we also believe he is the most evil in our office in disguise (you would never suspect him). Using his "instant office chaos machine," cleverly concealed as a radio/CD player, he causes our computer systems to get slow, our fire alarms to go off, the phone system to crash, our printers to chew paper, and the clocks to stop. Is it coincidence that the play number on his CD player is exactly the same as the number of choatic incidents in the office? I think not.
So, before he got in, I rearranged the keys on his keyboard to spell out "ROYISGREAT" on the main row (after borrowing an extra "R" from a sick coworker's computer). Time for him to notice after getting to his desk... 78 seconds... ;)
Lame, true.. but who is next? :D (I'm feeling better already)
