Other departments have much more fun than mine does. The composing gals, (one male, pictured) hid a cellphone in the ceiling and kept ringing it all morning. It was hilarious. Particularly since it was driving one of the guys in the newsroom bonkers. Where was the sound coming from?
The jig was up about 11 a.m. when the culprits came clean to Roxy (picture here) who was the only one in her department not in on the joke. It was Vaughn’s mobile phone. Just before this, they played a trick on her computer, where she thought it was frozen up. Great gag, guys!
For my part, I re-arranged Nick’s desk while he was out. Nothing too major. I headed out to Sexsmith for a story. I expected to return to my desk in tatters. Nick wasn’t too bad on me. He packed everything on my desk (laptop, phone, books etc) in neatly on a box on my desk. (Was he trying to tell me something?)
Contrary to what was expected, I did not freak out. I just laughed.
Last year, Nick I used to decorate my desk at least once a week. It drove me nuts. One time, I did flip out because it was 8 in the morning and I couldn’t find my computer because of all the Christmas decorations!
