Nico’s

Today is April 1st, and as you all know, it’s also known as April Fools’ Day.
I won’t bore you with a personal back-history on April Fools’ Day, or a recollection of all the pranks on the internet, because that’s been done.

I will instead tell you a personal story, about today, at work.
Basically, I changed everyone’s wallpaper at work. I changed it to something obnoxious, mildly annoying and confusing. It’s something I figured would be noticeable, but would not affect anyone’s work, so it’d go by as a little joke, and that’d be all.
See for yourself, and then read on (click to see the image in full size):

So this morning, people logged into their computers to find this. The first email came at 4am, asking what had happened to the desktop. The next one was at 7am.
By 9am, a few people had figured out what was going on, and everything was alright… except for one person, who shall remain nameless.
This person said, and I quote, ” I consider it a vicious act of aggression.”
Give me a break. Vicious? Aggressive? Ok!

At any rate, I’m cutting the story short here: I am packing my stuff and clearing my desk right now, so like they say in the streets, fuck them if they can’t take a joke. I will go get me a job at Taco Bell or something, while I look for a more serious one. Wish me luck!
