April Fool

Oh man, did we get our IT guy good!

Yesterday a colleague suggested we get someone to phone him and say we're from some authority, coming immediately to check for any illegal software/files on the company computers. Now, there happens to be a bit here and there - nothing major, but individuals have a habit of downloading stuff, you know.

Well, this morning my brother was co-opted into the task, and put on a show that would have won him an Oscar. We had the IT guy in a total tizz! Until we let him know it was all in the spirit of the day (and got banned briefly from a local network chat in the name of revenge... ;) ).

The funniest thing was though that the guy who spoke to me to arrange it actually thought he was asking someone else to do so! So I guess we ended up with more fools than we'd intended.

Did you get suckered too? Do tell!
