punk'd, legal nerd style

well i just got pranked.. big time. it was so well orchestrated that i'm still dazzled.

one of my colleagues at work is notorious for pulling pranks.. usually i'm all over it it - but not today! i was so distracted with work (fancy that) that i didn't have any guards up.

so there i am typing away when i get an email from one of the administrative staff. the email said:

Tash, Please call:

Theresa Green re: your practising certificate card
Tel: 02 4987 16xx

Ta,
D


i didn't think anything of it, happens all the time.

so i get on the phone and dial the number:

*ring ring*

female: hello, royal botanical gardens
tash: hi, is this theresa?
female: no this is kate
tash: can i please talk to theresa green?
female: is this a trick question?
tash: no. i'm after theresa. theresa green.
female: [starts giggling]
tash: theresa green?
female: [still giggling]
tash: [penny drops] oooooooooh trees are green!! sorry!!

i don't know why it didn't click when she said royal botanical gardens.

at least the entire office had an amazing laugh.. at my expense.

it was a dumb prank anyway.

but 10 points for having the guts to follow through.

IM TOTALLY USING THAT!!

My best prank to date has consisted of me setting my collegues stationary in jelly. he was away interstate for a few days and I had permission from my boss to spend a day at work, making the jelly and setting the objects in them.

When he came back...there were lots of different colored jellies with lots of fun things in them!!

and the joke didn't stop there, everyone else jumped on the bandwagon.

i love my job :)
