I'm with Shadoe; don't do practical jokes; don't think they are particularly nice.

After reading some stories, I thought of a few things. Whenever I am in the office of the restaurant I work at, doing my cashout, I change the screensaver of one of my "metrosexual" restaurant managers. I always write something like "Steve is gay" or "I like hairy men". Anyway, one night the jazz singer who was singing at our restaurant that night was in the office when the screensaver started, and she pauses and goes, "Steve, I never knew you were gay." And she was serious!! I didn't work that night, but apparently it had everyone in the office laughing for a good 15 minutes. Steve vowed to fire me the next time I came in. LOL * * * At my other job, I didn't know my start time when I first started, so I had come in a half-hour late, two weeks in a row. When I realized my mistake, I wrote an email to my boss apologizing and admitting it. Anyway, this guy I work with took over one of my shifts a couple weeks later, and had one of the librarians call me at HOME and ask why I wasn't at work yet. It didn't get the response he had wanted, as all I did was gave her his phone number and said to call the guy who was supposed to work the shift. The next time the librarian saw me, she said we needed to get him back. So we currently have him believing that she is facing disciplinary action with the university, and may lose her job, pending a hearing later this month. LOL

Good morning everyone! Did those of you who are part of daylight savings time remember to change your clocks? Hope you have a happy Sunday. Well I may have a warped sense of humor...well, not may have...I do. But anyway, I thought a lot of your practical jokes were pretty darn funny. Maybe growing up with 4 siblings and a really funny dad just had all of us joking around a lot. But then again...like mom always said... it's always funny until somebody gets hurt! lol Today's question is: Do you normally arrive at places you need to be early, right on time, or late? I normally arrive early.

I make every effort to be early, but then I wait outside so that I can 'arrive' on time. I hate being late, but don't really get upset when others are.

Most of the time early and you can bet on the rare occassions I'm late its cuz something came up. The rest of my family is always (and yes I mean always) late. After years of having to lie on invitations (putting the time on invitations for them an hour or two before the actual event starts) and still having them be late it's something that drives me nutty.

I almost always arrive on time. How I do that is I arrive a bit early and then wait before going in. Of course, if it is a friend, then I just go in.

I'll admit it, now in my retirement years, late. I'm afraid I get distracted easily and get off on an unrelated tangent while getting ready--no matter my good intentions and how early I rise. When I worked, however, I was always early to work and late to leave. Always been commended on my work ethic.

i'm usually the first one there. i'm in the "i'd rather be 2 hours early, than 2 minutes late" category. but i have a terminally late husband and child, and my mother was one of those people you'd tell to be someplace at 6:30 if you wanted them there at 7:00.
