Hazing, I say! My office was foiled!

Clearly some explanation is in order here. While you may think this was an attempt by me to harness and refocus the awesome brain waves that take place in my noggin while at work, it was not. No, this was an act of hazing by my colleagues. I go away to Germany on a trip, and come back to the office to find that I had been foiled! Foiled, literally with foil. They wrapped so many things in my office. Had I been gone any longer, I am fearful that the walls and floor would have been wrapped in aluminum foil as well. While these pictures show some of the extent of this attack on my persona, it is hard to really appreciate the extent of the foilage. Some things were wrapped to very fine detail. For example, the push pins on my cork board were foiled, as were a few coins I had left laying on my desk.

This whole event took place in November of 2006; about 2.5 years ago. To this day I still have some foil wrapped items. Take a look at the individually wrapped books on my book shelf, along with the triple beam balance, and other items.

This horrible attempt to bully me was really a reprisal by some of my colleagues for similar, albeit much smaller scale, pranks which they assumed had been perpetrated by me. No evidence existed linking me to the alleged events, but this hanging jury did not care!

When I arrived home from Europe, I stopped by the office (late at night) to drop off something. When I rounded the corner to my office, all I could do was stand and laugh for several minutes. Way to funny!
