OK a little background on this as only a few coworkers know what this is about.

My current assignment with Accudata Systems is in a Security Ops support role at Dr Pepper in Plano. David, the gentleman (term used very loosely I may add) in the pics shared a cubicle with me. Well really a half a cube. I mean he was practically sitting in my lap!

But back on topic.

There is also a bunch of other IT guys in the cubes surrounding the 1/4 cube I have the privilege of occupying. Unlike David and I they are DP employees not “hired guns” and if you are wondering, yes they all have full size cubes, all to themselves. Us non Dr Pepper employees get the scraps left over from the “DP guys”. It is almost like an employer induced class warfare!…There I go again. Back on topic…As usual when you get a group of IT guys together all day, everyday, pranks are inevitable. Well Mitch, who is the one that did the deed you are about to see and David took particular interest in seeing who can out do who on the pranks. I won’t go into everything but you get the idea.

Well David took another position outside of DP and last Friday was his last day. And it looked like the pranks were going to end with him getting the last laugh on Mitch. Or so he thought.

Click play to view the slide show. It loops so you will have to hit stop or it will go forever. Oh and if you are at work there is music so turn down your volume. Annoying, I know, but hey that’s me.

Now let me shed some light on the ending before some get all upset and offended. Most of you know me and know my leanings as far as politics, music, sports teams etc… I also like to get in a good debate with anyone who does not think like I do. I mean it is obvious at that point that they are wrong and uninformed so it is my duty to make sure they get it right. Anyway, David is a born Texan, a Dallas Cowboy fan, extreme liberal, an atheist and is into hip hop and boxing or kick boxing or something like that. I know what you are thinking, my job must have been torture sitting with this guy everyday. Well he ain’t shy either and we would debate on everything we did not see eye to eye on. Which obviously was just about everything and anything. But make no mistake we never got too unruly, we kept it civil. It was actually quite entertaining sometimes. Some of the “elite, full cubicle dwelling, newer computer, DP guys” may disagree with the entertaining comment though Of course, it goes without saying that it was more enjoyable for me as I was always right.

I am rambling again. That is what I do.

The point is don’t be offended by the rolling comments at the end it was all in the name of fun. But then how could it not be fun for me when I was always getting to point out how wrong he was!

And the song, “Cliffs of Dover” (for those uninformed masses wondering) was not a random pick either. That was my ring tone for a while. David, who happens to be a drummer, yes it was THAT bad, was always whining when he would have to hear it. Then we got into a debate on the merits of guitar solo’s in music. Which obviously me being a guitar player I was on the correct side then too. But not a great achievement as everyone knows it is all about the singer and the guitar and there are few if any exceptions. hahahaha

With that said I will end this post with a few comments dedicated to all the drummers who happen to stumble upon this post.

• How do you tell if the stage is level?
The drummer is drooling from both sides of his mouth.

• How can you tell a drummer’s at the door?
The knocking speeds up.

• What’s the last thing a drummer says in a band?
“Hey guys, why don’t we try one of my songs?

• What do you call a drummer that breaks up with his girlfriend?
Homeless.

• How can you tell when a drummer’s at the door?
He doesn’t know when to come in
