I sent them an email detailing that we had sold our company (we're an MSP supporting mostly small and medium businesses as an outsourced IT department) to a large consultancy group from India. I ran joke of the decade one April Fools day on a customer (they are one of our first customers, they've been with us for years we take each other to football games, invite each other to family events, etc). That is until about 3 weeks later, my buddy apparently couldn't figure out why he was sleeping like shit and his back hurt so bad, there was tyrone, still under the mattress. We did have a habit of getting well beyond sloshed at bars and picking up "gifts" for neighbors walking home, some items included wheel chairs, shopping carts, ceiling fans, road cones, pumpkins, etc. We assumed he was stolen, or we got drunk and gifted him to a neighbor. Many more alcohols that night have robbed me of my memory as to what happened later, but the next morning tyrone was not discovered. Between the box spring and mattress? Yes, this will be hilarious if they get to boinking and wonder what the giant lump under the mattress is. One night of hanging out my buddy goes to pick up a girl he had just met, perfect opportunity for me to get tyrone in position somewhere. Around doorways in attempts to make people run into him, fridge doors, windows, toilets, anything that was funny when you're 23 and piss drunk on the weekends. Tyrone for the next few weeks proceeded to be suction-cupped to everything in the apartment. There we found tyrone, a 4" wide 24" long suction cup big black dildo. My place of business is literally right next door to the only porn shop in town. After some dilemma and a decent amount of alcohol in our systems we have the idea to go to the porn shop. A good buddy of mine years ago moved into a new apartment, after work one day me and another friend were crushing some beers friday night after I got off work and decided we should get the other guy a house warming present. Haha, this reminds me of my friend tyrone. Every song on the album was Strongbad's Lightswitch Rave. I called the album "Transplosion" with a bunch of random names. Months later I inserted a fake album by Paul Oakenfold into his WinAmp playlist (he listened to a lot of techno. It took us a while to fully convince him that it was a joke. We all died laughing when we saw that he had disappeared. He literally got under his desk and hid, which is saying something since he was easily the tallest person in the department. It didn't last more than 30 seconds or so but ended up with one of them rolling an ancient POTS telephone down the hallway very loudly as if he threw it (our department was in the basement so no other hospital employees around). The two staff happened to be two of the nicest, easiest-going guys on staff so it was not only out of character for the group but even more so for these two individuals. On his first day we staged an argument between two staff members in techserv. We knew him and liked his work so we offered him a position. By happenstance, we had an open position locally and one of the guys who worked at that company was moving to my city. We had fun.įor a while we outsourced our level one Help Desk to a contracting company. The technical services staff (which included network, sysadmins, telephony, and help desk) were all pretty tight-knit, made lots of jokes at each others' expense, etc. My first Healthcare job was for a local hospital system. I work in Healthcare IT and have for a large portion of my career.
