April Fools!!!

Anyone pranking or being pranked today? Not me (yet) but two different moms have told me what they did to their kids...

Mom #1 put a fork in son's breakfast cereal (I think he's about 2)

Mom #2 told her son last month that if he didn't get any bad behaviour marks at school (he's 6) that she'd buy him a video. Alvin and The Chipmunks comes out today, and yesterday he came home and showed her his completely clean behaviour mark score card. This a.m. when he reminded her that a) he'd had no behaviour marks and b) Alvin and The Chipmunks is out today, she told him she was kidding...then APRIL FOOL! (I told her she should have bought My Pretty Pony or something equally as girly and tell him that was his reward, she still might do that)

Re April Fools!!!

I got permission from my boss to mildly sabotage the CRM software that sales, support and management uses. The only deal was I had to do it while I was here and could reverse it. Unfortunately, the minor change I wanted to make really made a mess of the display so I didn't do it.

Re April Fools!!!

Every single damn class of mine pulled a prank. I am so tired and exhausted from them. They were creative and I have to admit, funny, but geez all 6 classes?

Re April Fools!!!

I just noticed Blogger's AF:

Blogger Buzz: Announcing Google Weblogs (beta)

Quote:
Google Weblogs, or “GWeblogs,” or “Gblogs,” which will launch later this year in a public beta, is the next revolution in personal publishing. Here’s what you can expect:
  • Don’t limit yourself to “reverse chronological” publishing. Our advanced Google algorithms put your best content at the top of your blog. Even if your later work goes downhill your previous posts will still shine.
  • No more template languages to mess with or sidebars to get right. Our advanced Google algorithms automatically populate your blog’s sidebar with the most relevant possible content.
  • Stop worrying about your PageRank or your search engine optimization. Post directly into Google search results for maximum visibility.
  • Save your readers time and effort. We’ll automatically extract the most relevant sentence from your post for the index page, along with any necessary ellipsis. We'll also put some words in bold!
  • Your blog’s header will stay fresh with new images from our team of artists, each and every anniversary of a scientific achievement.
  • Unsure of what to post about? Just click “I’m Feeling Lucky” and we’ll “take care” of the rest!

Re April Fools!!!

No one fooled me.

One woman I work with had her daughter call her.

Mom, I can't play lacross any more.
Why not?
Cause I got expelled.
You got expelled?! For what!?!?!
For April Fools!

Someone suggested I call mom and tell her I am pregnant
