I have to admit, this is one of my favorite days. Over the past few years I haven't participated in this annual day of silliness as I didn't have much silly in my bones. Sick family members and deaths kind of dumps a big pile of poo on any silly you might have inside. But this year was different. I could embrace the silly within and actually take a few moments out of my day to play a prank. It made me giggle all day. It sure beats feeling like the Grim Reaper shat on your head!
I sent an email to my employer using a new email address I made just for today's prank. The email was from the President of The United States and in it he suggested that one of the employees (me) should be recognized for a job well done. Some of the ideas the president had to recognize the outstanding employee included:
A raise
Business cards with a flattering title
A gold metalFree lunchesDaily back massagesHappy hour celebrationsA paradeA new car
The whole thing made me laugh. Hopefully the recipients thought it was just as funny. Today was my day off so I don't really know how the message was perceived but I guess I'll find out when I go in on Monday.
Rediscovering the old prankster in me was a delightful experience for me today. I needed that mental health break to escape the worries I've been carrying about my sick kid and the doldrums of preparing my tax returns. hmmm, Funny how I chose April Fools Day to do my taxes.
Anyway, it's an earlier than usual post tonight because I have a plane to catch. I'm flying on the red eye to catch a hardy brunch of eggs, salmon, and moose sausage with the Palins in Wasilla.....................................................................................................................
