Hi Technetsters -
As a consultant in the electronics manufacturing field, I notice that often
the human aspect is overlooked in favor of the technical.  For example, what
are going to do over the Holiday break if your facility is closed down?  No
solder balls to get annoyed over, no intermetallics to fret about, no
wavesolder machines to squeeze through small doorways, etc., etc, ad nauseum.
 What is there to do (besides obviously check Technet 5 times an hour?)
Someone sent this to me and I am passing it on to you.  Give it a try!

 Fun things to do at Wal-Mart :

1. Get boxes of condoms and randomly put them in  people's carts when they are
not looking.
2. Set all the alarm clocks to go off at ten minute  intervals throughout the
day.
3. Make a trail of orange juice on the floor, leading to the restrooms.
4. Walk up to an employee and tell  him in an official tone, "I think we've
got
a Code 3 in  housewares," and see what happens.
5. Tune  all  the radios to a polka station; then turn them all off and turn
the volumes  to "10."
6. Challenge other  customers to duels with tubes of gift wrap.
7.  Put a bag of M&M's on layaway.
8. Move "Caution: Wet  Floor" signs to carpeted areas.
9. Set up a  tent in the camping department; tell others you'll only invite
them in if  they bring pillows from Bed and Bath.
10. When someone asks if you need help, begin to cry and  ask, "Why won't you
people  just leave me alone?"
11. Look  right into the security camera, and use it as  a mirror while you
pick your nose.
12. Take up  an entire aisle in Toys by setting up a full  scale battlefield
with  Pokemon vs. the X-Men.
13. Ask other  customers if they have any Grey  Poupon.
14. While  handling guns in the hunting  department, suddenly ask the clerk if
he knows where the  anti-depressants are.
15. Switch the men's and  women's signs on the doors of the restrooms.
16. Dart around suspiciously while humming the theme from "Mission
Impossible."
17.  Set  up a "Valet Parking" sign in front of the store.
18. In the auto department, practice your "Madonna" look  with various
funnels.
19.  Hide  in the clothing racks and when people browse through, say things
like "pick me! pick me!!"
20. When  an  announcement comes over the loudspeaker, assume "It's those
voices again!"
21. If the store has a food court, buy  a soft drink; explain that you don't
get out much, and ask if they can put a little umbrella  in it.
22. Go into the dressing room and yell real  loud..."Hey, we're out of toilet
paper in here!"


Have fun over the Holidays and a Happy New Year to all!
