How to survive a boring night at work
« on: July 04, 2007, 01:32:46 AM »
1. Abuse the customers, a lot of people will say that customers are the reason you're there. But last I checked my wage donkey wage stayed the same with or without them

2. Go out back and smoke a joint

3. Start adding random items to what you're wearing and see how strange you look by the end of your shift

4. Talk to co-workers and try to start a mutiny

5. See that grapefruit... see those 1L pepsi bottles... that aisle looks alot like a bowling lane, huh...

6. Start talking in a funny accent

7. Get your friend a job at the same place

8. When in doubt, avoid work for play

(I work at pizza hut so...)
- Spell REDRUM or make pentagrams in people's toppings (some enjoy this, others freak out.  either way entertaining.)
- try to make your coworkers as uncomfortable as possible.
- sing fairly popular songs and see who joins in.
- have water fights.  just avoid whoever is doing dishes as they will win.
- If it's really slow and you can find something to do it with,  have sword fights.
- Every restaurant should have a deck of cards and a person old enough to buy alcohol.

If you work in an office:

15.) Use office supplies to "decorate" your work space.  Paper clips make especially excellent sculpture material, for the record, and remember: you have six different color highlighters for a reason.

16.) Desk chair races.

17.) Water coolers are endless sources of amusement; never underestimate the power an upside-down tank of water with hot and cold spouts has to create interesting situations.

18.) Make a desk fort.  ("Don't let Accounting in, they have cooties!")

19.) If you work in a cubicle farm, dance down the aisles and keep track of how many people actually notice.

20.) You have high-speed internet, don't you?  Well, you have enough imagination to know what that's good for.

from when i worked graveyard at Denny's:

1) kung fu fights in the middle of the resturant, winner takes the tips!

2) ask everyone if they would like a complimentary glass of water, then just give them a cup of ice.

3) give free desert for girls who are willing to flash you.

4) when police officers come in put you hands in the air and shout "HE'S IN THE KITCHEN!"

5) start speaking mock swedish to the customers (like the swedish chef)

6) toss on some showtunes and give all the employees a bit of choreography.

Du är inte riktigt klok du PUR... <- actual Swedish

If you work in a sewage or water treatment plant...

1) Randomly shout OUPS! whenever you pass a pool...

2) (this is something that really shouldn't be done) pour a litre or so of caramel-dye in the main drinking water reservoir...

3) go online and find more amusing things to look at than running water

7) remember the hose isn't just for dishes, squirting those pasky cooks can be plenty of fun too!

There's always the classic, but it only works if you have an office job:

Sharpen a box of new pencils, throw them pointing upwards and try to make them stick in the perforated ceiling panels.

I remember in one restaurant I worked in the owner had an old junker car they left to rot out back. So we used to go and throw the old baked potatoes at it. Did you know a baked potato can take out the side view mirror?

Printer, Scissors, Tape = Office Fun:
  • Decorative hats - Your boss should applaud your creativity and pleasant attitude.
  • Paper chains - Enhances workplace atmosphere
  • Wall coverings - Cheaper than repainting
  • Scale replicas of entire cities, spread out over the lobby floor - Um... marketing?  >:D
