A furniture spam update

I love it when a plan comes together...

Moving came at lunchtime and picked up all the stuff from the hall. I had a meeting as they were leaving, on coming back from the meeting, I had the following email waiting for me:


John,

A filing cabinet with the initials jjp in red tape on top, was delivered to 158 TMCB this morning. Is this yours? If so what would you like done with it. Either way, let us know, k?

Hey Elaine,

We just got a filing cabinet delivered to us. It seems to be used, I don’t really know what it is for. Dee didn’t know anything about it either. The girl that delivered it said it was from B77 and there is note on it that says move to 158 TMCB. Do you know anything about this?

How do you keep from getting fired doing stuff like this? Personally, I think it's hilarious.... but then some people don't find these things funny....

No, it's just hilarious. This morning I was in a meeting with Elaine, who is the head of Operations. I waited for the appropriate time in the meeting, then said something like "you never know what's going to happen. You might end up with someone sending random pieces of furniture sent all over campus..." A good laugh was had by those in the know, Elaine says they will find a way to get me back, one of those students spent several hours pondering over the little rolling filing cabinet yesterday...

Hilarious. Everything else was sent anonymously.
