Ways To Make Your Job More Interesting
Today, we will cover ordering office supplies and how to jazz it up.

Each week, buy an insane amount of a different office supply. For example, one week buy an entire pallet of kleenex and request that the delivery guy drop it off outside and slide the paperwork under the door. Underline "DO NOT COME IN."
Or order 800,000 paperclips and put a rush order on it. Call every couple of hours, rustling papers furiously in the background and sounding increasingly frantic. "The papers are really getting away from us here, how long until we can get those paperclips?!?"

Accidently only order pink glitter pens. Right before a board meeting.

When handing in requisition forms to be approved, change the description of 'legal size notepads' to 'ball dress with poufy sleeves' and 'staple removers' to 'a cat.' See if anyone notices.

Type in your home phone number as an item number and see what comes.

Tell all the employees that there has been a safety recall on all yellow highlighters and you need to collect them. Wear gloves and hold them gingerly.

Request gift wrapping on all whiteboard markers, then put them all in a pinata, hanging over the supply cabinet.

Special order the sign in sheets to ask for name, company, date, time and favorite movie.

Accidently attention the entire order to the employee that just started that week.

Requisition a new chair for the CEO. See if he notices.

Order 5 of those clear plastic chair mats. Explain that you're a very active typer, and you cover a lot of ground.

Instead of manila folders, order ones with kittens on them, the sort they make for girls in second grade.
