The Boring Day at Work

Are you having a boring day at work today? Well don't worry, I have a couple of ideas that might just help spice up your boring Wednesday.

• Throw a birthday party! Simply stop by the HR department and find out if someone is celebrating a birthday today. Then, buy a cake at the local bakery and celebrate the birthday boy's/girl's big day. And if nobody is celebrating a birthday today... Well... don't let that stop you. Let's be honest here - it's Wednesday, everyone is pretty much dying for an excuse to not work. So stop by the bakery, buy a cake, and have them write “Happy Birthday Ted!” on the top. And if anyone asks, “Who is Ted?” simply point to the crowd and say, “You know... Ted...”
  
  
• Go into the storage closet and weave all the paperclips together. Then, sit back and watch as all your coworkers wrestle with the giant strand of paperclips. It's a simple prank that can really provide for hours of entertainment.
  
  
• Instigate an impromptu dance party. Not only will everyone be up and getting exercise, but it's also an opportunity to get close to Cheryl in Accounting. (Or Gary in Receiving should that be your preference...)
  
  
• Redecorate your cubicle. You would be surprised how much a strand of Christmas lights and a mini chocolate fountain will brighten your day.
  
  
• And if all else fails, sit down at your computer and Google random words and phrases until the end of the day. (Some of my favorite search words/phrases are: Donald Trump's hair, why doesn't Donald Duck wear pants, why is my computer so slow, and bacon.)

I hope that helps. And have a great day!
