Continuing my serial act, my new heat pump system will be installed on Wednesday! Just in time for the hot weather, apparently.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I despise practical jokes and will foil them if given the chance. One old workplace was horrible for that sort of thing: "joke" firings, moving people's cars and not admitting it while the person is calling the cops to report it stolen, etc. I was widely held to be a miserable person with no sense of humor--except to the people who I warned about what was going on.

What's in both prenatal vitamins and Centrum that could cause a metallic taste in the mouth?
Iron?
Fooling people on purpose is not funny.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah, I don't see the point of a practical joke if its purpose is to cause anxiety, panic, etc. in another person. I'd go so far as to say that's morally wrong.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
"joke" firings,
Good lord, that's one of the worst things I've ever heard of.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Totally.
When my department used to prank each other, we'd do things like replace someone's paper clips with tic-tacs. Or putting a plush Fimble in the sales director's office chair while he was on vacation. Nothing mean.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Someone I used to work with always had the same CD playing (on speakers). Not only the same CD, but it seemed that every time I went into his office, the same section was playing.
One day when he was out at lunch I replaced his Vivaldi Four Seasons with a bagpipe and drum CD. He laughed, I gave him his CD back, and life went on (with the same damn music playing).

I worked with a guy who kept leaving his laptop on his desk when he left for the day, even though that was against company policy and in a building that had had a series of thefts of things like purses women left in their offices. Finally, a co-worker cured him of that by changing the alert sounds to the Meg Ryan orgasm-faking.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
see, that's the kind of stuff that I don't mind as "jokes."
I hate most practical jokes though or at least ones that aren't immediately revealed. Don't let someone get fake arrested and 10 hours later reveal it was a joke.
not fucking funny.

Art Crawl!!!
Yeah, that isn't funny. Just cruel and mean.
Not a joke: this is so totally going to be me - still paying off my student loans as a senior citizen.
