Magistr8 0 #1 August 8, 2002 Tommorow is my last day at my awful job here so i'm taking it pretty lax today. I was wondering what sorta things you would do on your last day in a tech enviornment. I'm hoping this thread will recieve both creative and inspirational ideas "Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools."

nws01 0 #2 August 8, 2002 In the movie Office Space they took the copy or fax machine that always gave them trouble into a field and beat the shit out of it. I always thought that was a great idea! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottbre 0 #3 August 8, 2002 Well you don't want to do something so bad that they would actually have to call you after you have left to fix what you did, so as far as fiddling with the network it should be something that is easily fixable. Like just do some little things and then leave early. You should also make it your mission to use at least a whole box of rubber bands and paper clips as projectiles before you leave, and make sure to use at least 2 pads of post-its by leaving rediculous non-useful notes all over the office. Record a very bizarre voice mail message that will greet anyone who calls after you have left, until they deactivate your voice mail. Fill up someones office or cubicle with foam peanuts. Well, those are just off the top of my head, I'm sure you can come up with more stuff the longer you think about it. Have fun, hehe... Oh yea, steal a golf cart and drive around on it with your boss, while playing bongos on his head. "Your mother's full of stupidjuice!"

ScottishJohn 25 #4 August 8, 2002 Set the default paper size on the printers to somethig other than the proper size. Anyone printing anything off will have to go to the printer and press form feed (or whatever) for each page of there printout. Set a forwarding address of all your emails to your boss. Go to the pub at lunch time and don't come back until leaving time - what are they gonna do , sack you .---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you think my attitude stinks you should smell my fingers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magistr8 0 #5 August 8, 2002 I have an IP address powerbar here today and think it would be pretty funny to check the redundancy of the UPS. I think when the DB admin comes in I will keep cycling the power on and off till he goes crazy. PS I like the voice mail idea "Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools."

narcimund 0 #6 August 8, 2002 I once asked the company president if I could use a company credit card for my "going away lunch". He said that was fine. I then spent the next hour inviting EVERYONE in the company to lunch. That was about 50 people. We took over an entire restaurant and spent around $500!

skreamer 1 #7 August 8, 2002 Go to the patch panel in your comms room and start unplugging and plugging in cables at random, then remove all the stickers from the panel with the numbers on them. Patch the company's fax through to the MD's phone. Replace the muzak CD that people listen to when put on hold on your phone system with Eminem and then turn the volume waaaay up.

Magistr8 0 #12 August 8, 2002 I just found out that these 2 guys here at work we'll call them "Larry' and "Moe" just got 2 weeks off with pay because they got into a fist fight at work and are pending diciplinary action. They are quitting at the end of the 2 weeks! I wish I had thought of that 2 weeks ago. P.S. Where to I get foam Penuts to fill a cubicle?
