Claire in a Box

I'm fortunate to work for a company that encourages creativity. Perhaps this is why, when walking into my office last week, I saw more than just an enormous cardboard box.

I saw possiblities.

A couple months ago, I went on a business trip with coworkers in my department. When we returned to the office, this is what we found:

We got TPd!
Tracking down the responsible parties was easy. What wasn't easy, however, was figuring out how to reciprocate...until I saw the box.

I knew what I had to do. After all, it's not every day I come across a box large enough to fit inside! I shared my vision with my coworkers and climbed into the box, nestling between pieces of white styrofoam. They closed the panels and I waited patiently. I heard them calling out for an unsuspecting colleague to assist them with relocating the box. I saw the shadow of his hand nearing the top and exploded out of the box, yelling something that sounded like this:

"AIRGRGAIRGJIRUYP!"

He was terrified. It was so good, we did it again with someone else.

I'd call the day a success.
