Working Another Holiday

Holidays are great if you get the day off from work.  However, for many of us for different reasons we end up with our second family on holidays, our coworkers. Much like our family we don't get to choose them, we end up loving them, fighting with them and inevitably trying to survive another holiday.  The only thing that makes it different is you get paid to be with your work family. No matter  how many times you hear that fishing story or  have to pick up the slack for a sleep deprived  party animal...you can leave at the end of it relieved knowing they are not blood related and you were just paid money to deal with them.  Here is what I say if you have to work today or some other holiday jazz it up.  Treat your work family like you do your real family.  Play pranks on them! That is what I do with my real family.  Here are some examples of how I have taken pranks from home to the workplace.  On Easter, when I was in high school I told my 8 yr old cousin that the cake frosting smelled weird and I told her to smell it...to my surprise she did and to her surprise she ended up with cake on her face.  Pun intended.  I took this prank to work with me and at the time I worked scooping ice cream at a baseball park.  My goal that fourth of July was to see how many coworkers I could get "creamed." I ended up having a great holiday with a total of 9 victims.  Creaming the whiny  head chef made it feel like a million.  Happy Independence day no matter where you find yourself.
