April Fools Joke’s Abound
April 1st, 2008 | Published in Austin, Work
I arrived into work today to find the first of many April Fool’s jokes in the office and around the net. However, little did I realize that it was in fact April Fools. The company dress code at work is pretty relaxed. We can wear shorts, t-shirts, flip-flops, etc. As I sat down to read my e-mail, the president of our company had sent out a company wide e-mail addressing some of the dress code issues and a few changes that he wanted make. It was even attached to the official company letterhead through our e-mail program. Basically it took me about an hour to realize that we infact did not need to wear suits and ties along with dress shoes and the entire getup. Hoover’s is a pretty relaxed place to work for the most part so the entire thing caught me off guard to say the least. I was thinking about where I was going to be able to find a few suites without breaking the bank.
Google and a few other companies also had their share of pranks for the day. I got pranked for sure.
