You've got to be kidding me

Hi All,
Looks like I missed April Fool's Day. Bean's parents came down so we spent the day with them. I did give it a thought, though. There were some really cute ones online and here at work. We have a homepage here that is updated with company news, etc. They wrote a fake article about food theft from the common refrigerators, complete with quotes from Loss Prevention and pictures of new electronic devices that track who took your food. Very cute! On one of the Star Wars collecting sites I frequent, they had a version of the classic game 'Operation' with Darth Vader as the patient. He was on an operating table in the last movie, for those who missed it. They also had an article stating that Madonna would play a Sith witch in the Star Wars TV series that films in 2008. The picture of her holding a light saber was priceless. There are some clever people out there, is all I'll say.
My favorite one to tell people is that I'm pregnant. Since it's quite a physical impossibility, I like to say it just to freak people out. But I let the day pass this year without prank one. But let me tell you, the daylight savings time change was enough of a harassment for me! Gaining an hour of sleep is one thing, but LOSING sleep is just unfair. haha Daylight will be nice though I suppose. Nothing like getting off in the dark and hoping you're not mugged every night as you hike the ten miles to your car. Parking at these buildings isn't great when you come in at 10:00 am. But at least I get a nice walk in every day!
Here's hoping you all had a nice weekend. I hope no one got you TOO bad on the April Fool's.

Things I like to do to 'get' people on April Fool's Day
1) Do a temporary dye on my hair, making it crimson red. Tell people, "This is my TRUE hair color."
2) Tell my parents, "I'm sorry. I've become a Republican."
3) Tell Bean, "I really think I'm 'over' the whole Madonna fandom."
4) Tell Oprah I wrote a great new novel for her to promote, and I'm sure she'll love it, since I wrote about our African-American roots.
5) Tell my supervisor, "I really have no need for this job, being independently wealthy. I quit."

haha
(In case there are readers who don't know me...I look horrible in red hair, I am a Liberal Democrat, a HUGE Madonna fan, as white as a cracker (hey! Is that where that comes from?), and always in need of a job.)

Have a great day, folks!
