Man, that cardboard office prank was great. But it makes you wonder how long that took. I loved how much attention they paid to detail, though. You gotta just love the happy bunny, the signs on the wall ("My Crappy Award For Something"), and my favorite, the cardboard refridgerator with Sprite still in it!

The cardboard office is pretty cool.
But you've gotta think these boys (and/or girls) had way too much time on their hands.
Doesn't their boss want them to do any work?
Or are they employees of the Rural Payments Agency?

The cardboard office is fantastic! Quite frankly, I can't think of a better way to spend your time than making that, and putting in all the details. I wish I could get away with doing things like that at my work.

damn, I want a cardboard office. My workplace is like, cubicle-less, and it totally sucks because a nosy workmate could look at what I'm looking at, fabricate stories around it, and get me in trouble with my superiors (happened once already. I was having a bout of fatigue, so I decided to unwind by playing a game of Freecell. A nosy workmate saw what I was doing and reported it to my superior and I got an earfull from it! Needless to say by the time I reached home I actually threw up due to that).

"I was having a bout of fatigue, so I decided to unwind by playing a game of Freecell"

A former co-worker of mine (retired early) also passed the time with Freecell 'on occasion'. He played the games in order, and when i last saw he was on game 2000 something.

Using the term "worker" rather loosely there, aren't we?

Well, he had been here for over 20 years. So i guess he had some 'pull'. But yeah, when I first started working here a couple years back, I was like "WTF??".

I especially liked the cardboard UPS.

However, as proprietor of nitpicking.com I must point out that you can't dislocate "bones", only joints.
