3 things to do at your jobicle (to keep your eyes open) and other fun musings in the spirit of fun:

1. Make up names for your coworkers. Don't tell them the names you've made up for them...just think it in your head and maybe (MAYBE!) write it down in an obscure notebook with "SECRET" written on the cover beneath a picture of a skull and cross bones. This is only (ONLY!) if you have a bad memory.




EXTRA CREDIT: Assign catch phrases and theme songs for said coworkers. Hum respective theme songs each time coworker walks by.

2. Origamicise!! It's sortof like excercise, but with clever paper folding techniques. Make Origami out of paperwork on your desk. Paper cranes are the best because you can name them after your superiors or your superiors' kids. Not seasoned in paper foldery? No fear. Check out this handy guide!

3. Pick a coworker at random and pretend it's their birthday. Act as though you have no idea it's not their birthday. TIP: Check with Human Resources to be sure it isn't, in fact, the chosen coworker's birthday.
-Order a whale shaped ice cream cake (www.carvel.com) and have the kind ice cream experts write "Happy Birthday *insert name here*" in red letters.
-Sing, get the rest of the office involved in the celebration. Buy decorations if your spirit of fun budget will allow.
-While eating the whale shaped ice cream cake, exclaim enthusiastically "THIS TASTES JUST LIKE ICE CREAM!" Smile and focus on the cake at hand.
