File this one in ‘What were they thinking?!’
There are a lot of people taking this coming Monday off from work.
List of important people out of the office:
President
Financial Controller
VP of Customer Service
Head of Operations
Head of Domestic Purchasing
Head of International Purchasing
Head of Engineering
what does this mean? Brace yourselves now… on Monday December 31st I, Mike D, will be in charge.
The employees are thoroughly confused as to why management would ever let this happen. This morning as people read the e-mail I heard comments coming from corners of the office:
“Mike DiDonato? what?”
“Mike DiDonato’s in charge??!”
“look out. Mike D’s in charge.”
I think they recognize that this may be the most rocking (or disastrous) day in our company’s history.
First, I am going to throw a pizza party. Also, I’m going to try and make everyone wicked awesome t-shirts. I was even thinking of breaking out the Christmas lights and making a giant christmas lights mural on the wall.
I need even more ideas, send ‘em in. This could be a day of reckoning folks.
Woooooo!
I think you should declare monday Opposite Day in the Thermatool office! For once in his life, sander would be called Skinny!
Why are you going to be at work and is anyone else going to be there?
There will be about 30 of us there. I just didn’t take the day off… no reason why really.
I do believe that’s enough for two fully stocked soccer teams
AC/DC over the intercom
Requisition a bunch of trampolines
Live mariachi band in the lobby
buy a ton of small, children’s bikes, and ride them up and down the halls
Or down the stairs
Skateboards!!!
INDOOR BARBECUE
Cancel work!!!
Replace all the carpet with shag carpet
Sell all the equipment in the machine shop, take the money, and disappear off the face of the earth.

-Make everybody talk in Pig Latin. Even the receptionist when she answers the phones (Ello-hay, ank-thay ou-yay or-fay alling-cay)
-Get together all the supplies from the paint booth and have every employee help color the outside of the building like the plane from Austin Powers (http://dollyandhammer.com/bikephotos/austin_powers_jumbo_jet_2.jpg)
-Have everyone park their cars on the runway of Tweed airport next door, then paint a runway onto our parking lot
-Selectively demolish parts of the building so that the remainder resembles a slightly scaled up portrait of Kurt’s head and maybe astronauts will see it from space
-Combine all the magnetic power in the machines on the floor, and construct a massive rail gun with which to attack Rhode Island
-We could probably pull in an extra few bucks by renting out unused cubicles to college students
-Indoor paintball tournament!
-Use all the steel we’ve got lying around to make battlements on top of the building so the building looks like a castle
-Turn Mick’s office into a shelter for stray neighborhood cats
-Eliminate our network file storage, and rent out terabytes of space to bit torrent servers
-Ala Schenkster’s suggestion, fill the shop floor with skateboard ramps in hopes that they’ll make us a level in the next Tony Hawk game - we’ll be rich off the royalties, not to mention hundreds of fly skater honeys
-Move all our production to Mexico in exchange for a lifetime supply of chimichangas
Chalupas, sander. Mike loves Chalupas!
I hate Chalupas.
are you really going to make T-shirts?!?! That’s awesome. Seriously. It’s fantastic.
Make everyone in the company sing Feliz Navidad, with a 4-part harmony and feeling.
