I’m gonna make this catch on with ya’ll. Come on–who did some Epicor April Fools shenanigans?
Here’s mine for this year. I actually changed it, so that the text of the button changed to say “April Fools” while jumping around, then changed back to the original at the end.
*Edit - I’d like to point out that I try to make these silly, but not completely interfere with their work (it’s a challenging line to find). In this instance, they can completely bypass this issue by using the binoculars instead of the search button. Also, during testing, 5 jumps seemed like the appropriate amount where it was a decent prank, but didn’t drag on.
I feel like I’d get booted out the door for this ! lmao. The only thing I’d do is make a custom exception box so that when a user gets an error, Dennis Nedry’s “Na Na Na” animation pops up!
You never know until you ask!
All of my “pranks” get vetted by my boss first to make sure that it’s not going to be detrimental to the business. They’re usually well received. We have a pretty fun culture here, though, so maybe that’s part of it.
I used to sit next to a guy who was infamous for the jokes he played.
One of the more memorable schemes was the “loose nut in the copy/printer”.
He started by making a series of copies, each time re-positioning a nut on the scanning bed.
Then he put those copies back in the paper tray and waited.
The next persons print job included the moving nut on it’s pages & of course they called the office’s PFY for support.
The PFY had just arrived when our dept was called into a meeting.
By the time we all returned, the PFY was still there and the printer/copier was in a state of advanced disassembly. To my co-workers credit, he revealed the details to PFY, the investigation ceased and re-assembly didn’t take too long.
No vetting as his motto was “better to beg for forgiveness”.
