Way to make a bunch of kids go "WOOOOT" at your death.
At least you get a few fond thoughts as you go.
Time for some thrilling heroics.

Exactly! I want to see if I can arrange something like that at my passing. Like endow a day off at my old high school.

That would be ... well, nifty.

Huh. I have realized just now that tomorrow is April Fool's Day, and once again I have forgotten to plan an elaborate fannish prank to properly celebrate the day.
... or did I?
My coworkers are fairly prank-happy people. I'll kill them if they try anything.
No, no -- instead I think that when my spidey sense tells me that I'm about to be pranked, I'll just say, in that casually bored tone of a friendly neighborhood sociopath, "I can crash the servers, you know."

I think there is only one of my co-workers that would be prone to attempting pranks. If he tries anything, I will hiss at him and wave a 9" hatpin in his face.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I think I'll tell my boss I'm pregnant again.

snerk Lately, my kids are always asking, "Or did I?" in a nefarious voice, after just about everything they say. I see you've gotten to them.

I hate practical jokes. I think they're generally a way to cause psychological harm without societal repercussions, and the victim gets told, "Oh, you're just a poor sport." Someone once tried to enlist me in a scam to convince some poor nebbish that his car had been impounded and he had to go to the cops to get it, and I said, "Not only will I not cooperate, I'm about to go tell him what you're planning." I smiled genially and nodded when called a party-pooper.

I know they are pulling one on a coworker. Except this time, it is to do nothing.
Probably wise, since the last prank (moving all his stuff including furniture into a computer room) pissed him off so much he went home and DARED his manager to make him charge it against his leave. Manager demurred. It was a dumbass prank. Given it was layoff season, I don't know how anyone could think it would be "funny."
But I work with some morons.
