At my workplace hazards include strangulation by red tape, drowning in deep bureaucracy and the cafeteria coffee. Today however, it wasn't such a bad day to be an employee. I just came across the following postings on the Staff Noticeboard on the intranet...

Has anyone borrowed one of the Assignment Store's flat deck trolleys? If so, could you please return it? Thanks :)

I was just about to post the following announcement:
18 May 2006 4.00PM Vacancy: Project Team Members
Night time, project based work. Must be available immediately. Navy Seal, Green Beret or other Rescue and Extraction experience a must. Weapons, high explosives or fishing experience an advantage.
But the next message posted ruined it for me:
18 May 4:01PM Abandoned trolley
Would the owner of the illegally parked flat deck trolley kindly remove it from the stream, as it is blocking up the waterway and collecting chocolate fish
RD
Damn it! Hope he drinks the cafeteria coffee tomorrow ;)

ciao
Ahh...ciao bella
The most delicious thing of all was the way people from all across the organisation got involved and then made it topical by involving rumors of chocolate fish dressed in yellow and black jerseys seen in town etc. Best fun at work we'd had in ages!
I thought the most delicious thing was when Marketing got involved and submitted a piss take of the campaign posters with trolley course information.
Oh, and when some very talented person from the elearing office put together an online course on trolley safety and security. I know nothing about that......really. ahem.
