How Neat Is That

So let's get this straight, nothing brings me joy more than winning bets against aggies and horns. When an aggie co-worker bet me that her team would beat Baylor this season in basketball, I couldn't resist. Granted at the time the bet was placed, the Baylor anticipation for the season was sky high with all the athleticism. We shook hands and the winner got to decorate the losers office any way they see fit. As the season progressed and Baylor managed to lose more and more games, I got real nervous.

At my place of business, I am known for pranks pulled on any and all people. Like the time we taped 250 styrofoam cups to the ceiling in my manager's office or toilet papered an office because a co-worker thought we wouldn't know he snuck out to watch the World Cup. Sure I would like to be known as the guy who solved any and all problems, but I will take what I can get this early in my career.

Back to the story at hand...Baylor swept the series and it was game on. I sent a simple text: Good game, your office is toast. I didn't get a response. On Sunday, I ran over to Michael's to clean out any and all green and gold decorations. Thank goodness Mardi Gras is going on because there was an insane amount of options.

The alarm buzzed at 5:45am this morning and my bags were packed with 8 bags of Easter grass, 230 yards of paper streamers, 1000 yards of ribbon and 3 rolls of tape.

On my way to work, I found out that she was moving from her current office to one on my floor as she was changing positions. A creepy evil laugh filled my car as I read that information on my phone.

Here is what the office looked like before:She hadn't had time to get her computer and personal items unpacked so it looks a little vacant.


And here is what it looked like after about an hour of intense Martha Stewart craft time:

It brings a tear to my eye every time I take a look at my work. That Easter grass is a real pain to clean up as my couch is still covered in it from separating the lumps the night before. I drove by the office this evening and with the light on, you can see the BAYLOR spelled out on the window...but it reads ROLYAB. Needless to say, her reaction was priceless. I could only shrug my shoulders and say: wow, I would hate to clean this up.

Funny video of the day:



Numerical Summary for the past few days/weeks/months:

4 - rounds of golf played last week. I actually had to pass on the driving range Friday after work which very rarely happens. There is no such thing as too much golf, but I stuffed myself and needed a nap.

9 - people in the movie theater when I watched Hall Pass Friday afternoon. I should have known then that the movie probably wasn't going to be all that great. Not a movie critic by any means, but that movie fell short of my expectations.

31 - songs downloaded in the last 5 days. I finally got fed up with my stagnant music library and downloaded some real dandies. Oh, but still holding strong of no country.
