OFFICE GAMES
The idea is to score the most points. Your attempts need to be
verified by either a player or non-player. I DARE YOU - in fact, I
DOUBLE DARE YOU
ONE POINT GAGS:
Run one lap around the office at top speed.
Ignore the first five people who say "Good Morning" to you.
Phone someone in the office you barely know, leave your name and say,
"I just called to say I can't talk right now. Bye".
To signal the end of a conversation, clamp your hands over your ears
and grimace.
When someone hands you a piece of paper, finger it, and whisper
huskily, mmmmmm, that feels soooo good""
Leave your zipper open for one hour. If anyone points it out, say,
"Sorry I really prefer it this way".
In the middle of a meeting, suddenly shout out "YAHTZEE".
Walk sideways to the photocopier.
While riding in an elevator, gasp dramatically every time the doors
open.
THREE POINT GAGS:
Say to your boss, "I like your style" and shoot him with
double-barreled fingers.
Babble incoherently at a fellow employee then ask, "Did you get all
that,cause I don't want to repeat it".
Page yourself over the intercom (do not disguise your voice).
Kneel in front of the water cooler and drink directly from the
nozzle.(There must be a non-player in sight).
Shout random numbers while someone is counting.
FIVE POINT GAGS:
At the end of a meeting, suggest that for once, it would be nice to
conclude with the singing of the National Anthem (extra points if you
actually launch into it yourself).
Walk into a very busy person's office and while they watch you with
growing irritation, turn the light switch off & on 10 times.
For an hour, refer to everyone you speak with as "Bob".
Announce to everyone in a meeting that you really got to go #2.
After every sentence, say 'Mon' in a really bad Jamaican accent. As
in,"the report's on your desk, mon". Keep this up for 1 hour.
While an office mate is out, move their chair into the elevator.
In a meeting or crowded situation, slap your forehead repeatedly and
mutter, "Shut up dammit, all of you just shut up".
At lunchtime, get down on your knees and announce, "As God as my
witness, I will never go hungry again".
In a colleague's diary, write in 10:00 am; "see how I look in tights".
Carry your keyboard over to your colleague, and ask, "do you want to
trade?"
Repeat the following conversation 10 times to the same person, "Do you
hear that?" "What?" "Never mind, it's gone now".
While talking to a colleague, pick your nose.
Come to work in army fatigues and when asked why, say, "I can't talk
about it".
Find the vacuum and start vacuuming your desk.
Hang a 2 foot long piece of toilet paper from the back of your pants,
and act genuinely surprised when someone points it out.
Tuck one pant leg into your sock and when asked about it, answer,"not
now" and walk away.

the coffee black drip of night

late
sitting in my room
alone
4b
above me
settles in for dinner
2c gives
her daily
piano lessons
2b
stereo comes on
soft instrumental
another hard day
off in the distance
sirens wail
a baby laughs
in 4c
sleet
a murmer as if
many voices whisper
oustide the window
keys jingle
hit the carpet
big sigh
no one helps
arms full, paper bags rustle
exausted frustration
long, long day
another try
door opens
3a
love sounds
the rhythm of the ocean
the surf of
2 becoming one
cat purrs in my lap
no TV for my eyes
sightless
I settle back
and listen to
the coffee black drip
of night.

This time of the year I fondly remember canoeing at Bond.
