I went with the David Bowie look for my googly eyes
I haven’t had this much fun with my second or third favorite holiday (New Year’s is number one with me) since we tricked people into thinking Somara was pregnant; medically impossible after early 2008.
This year at Apple we did two pranks. The first was a fake technical article on how to get the cat off your keyboard. The second was initiated by me to build a greater esprit de corps with co-workers in my location. The googly eyes bit was more accidental. I was at Teacher Heaven looking for apple stickers (a different project) and I stumbled upon a huge packet of these eyes. I suddenly remember a gag site another co-worker showed me, not sure which one, I’ll go with this page due to it having a good balance. Convincing others to glue eyes on their badges wasn’t too hard. The objective was to see if security would notice.
I hope to have a gallery put together. Mine came out poorly: too much glue, hence the cloudiness; my photo is smaller than most, the photographer who took it nine years ago knew I wanted my team’s logo to be visible.
Next year is going to take more effort. I’m up to the challenge.
