Pranks to pull at work (ones that won't get you into too much trouble)

This is right up my alley I have another one.

We had a new person on the job and it was thursday, she was very sweet and very nervous. I said " have you run the critical thursday programs?" she said no I haven't, my boss was in on it. I said we need to go talk to the boss about this, this should have been run hours ago. The boss sets her down at the desk and tells her the program to go into, she says now go onto line 70 and key in " this is a joke we are messing with you", it still took her a few minutes! I am so mean but it was so funny. We were friends before all this otherwise I would have never done that....we remained friends thank goodness.

That would be a good one.

I have a couple of friends that call up and ask for me, and tell the receptionist that they are Judge so and so's bailiff, and why wasn't I present in the courtroom for some argument. Gets my heart racing every time.

I thought of another one:

I use to work on swing shift, there were 3 shifts and there always had to be coverage. The whole crew decided on april 1 to meet in a far away break room and we would all call in sick. The boss was a nervous nellie...he went out and yelled at dayshift that nobody was leaving because all of swingshift was sick, he finally found us and by then he was redfaced and worked up quite a bit.

We tried that one a few years later but by then we had voicemail, before each of our voices saying we were sick was the name of the persons office we were calling from, that boss came knocking on that door we were all busted...we forgot voicemail preceded your message with the person's name you are calling from.
