The Unknown Practical Joker

It seems we have a unknown practical joker in the place.

You see, we have an in/out board at reception, so that our poor, long-suffering receptionist actually has a clue as to who is and is not around when people ring for them.

We also have a Business Manager-cum-HR Manager who spends more time out of the office than in. This, as you can imagine, is not a terribly welcome trait in an HR Manager and has led to some mostly unspoken negativity about the lady in question. (She has recently taken on a new person who is being groomed to take over the role of HR Manager, a step which I personally regard as being terribly positive and foresighted of the aforementioned Business/HR Manager. The new assistant is incredibly young, but as she has "human resources" written in large letters across her personality, I think she'll become what she needs to become.)

The Practical Joker went to the aforementioned in/out board, and superglued the magnetic tag for our absentee Business Manager into the "out" position.

/falls about howling with laughter/

The Business Manager is, naturally enough, on the rampage about this. Meaning that I have to keep a straight face at work if the subject comes up.

No, I'm not responsible, although I can think of any number of people in the company who might be.

ROFLMAO!!!!!!
