Reinitializing Sequence...

[omg-teh-funnay.livejournal.com]

So, it turns out that this coming Sunday will be my last day working graveyard shift - then I start a Tuesday-Saturday 8-5 shift.

This is mostly a good thing, graveyard was killing my marriage, what with the never seeing my wife and all that. But I'm going to miss the graveyard shift - the dark, the pervestity, the lack of any and all etiquitte with my coworkers.

I'm frightened of having to reinstall my "Daytime Filters" - I KNOW I'm going to slip and let something fly that would be FINE with the night crew but ruffle some feathers on the day team.

So, I have a solution. In the vein of The Skippy List, I've started a whiteboard of "Things OMG is NOT ALLOWED to do on the Day Shift"

My entries so far are:
1) Sell countries he doesn't own
2) Yell movie quotes randomly whilst answering email
3) Do the (now infamous) "Barbie Girl" dance

OK, that last one is gleefully yoinked from Skippy, but DAMN it's funny.

The overnight team says that maybe they'll send me to work on Tuesday morning in a ball gag, with a note that says "Do Not Open Until 5PM" to be safe.

Any more ideas for my list?

Start the instructions to the customer over the phone with "On your knees, slave, and remove that power cord before I use it on you!"

Call the Documentary Channel "Volcano pr0n"

Bring in the electric frypan and cook an entire roast dinner during the third quarter of the shift. (I used to get all the other graveyarders and security trooping up with their plates)

Turn up for the shift in a dressing gown and fluffy bunny slippers (even if the normal work gear was on underneath)

Play excessive 1960s trippy music from Youtube all night. There's only so much Happiness Stan your co-workers can handle.

Put the queue on hold for 20 minutes while you duck down to the all-night munchie store. (No, that wasn't me).

Can no longer have bi-weekly clothing optional shifts
Can no longer have competitions to find the most offensive sites
2girls1cup is not daytime viewing
Can no longer refer to the Sales and Marketing Departments as "The Weasels"

Ah, sales weasels.

I'm also not sure about the viability of using my Nerf arsenal on my daywalking coworkers. Saedness

Hmm, from my last workplace graveyard shenanigans......

- Line cokecans up on ping pong table and fire at them repeatedly with nerf rifle
- Declare shenanigans in any way. shape or form
- Race chairs about the empty helpdesk
- Ride a bike about the empty help desk
- Go to sleep on my desk
- Call manager a wookie, no matter how much he looks like one.
- Put up a star wars xmas Special wookie family poster in a frame over managers desk
- Call head TL a cock gobbling ninja
- show up in tshirt that says "Fuck you, cunt" in welsh, as during the day I would NOT be the only welsh speaker on the floor
