Ah, office humor
I got a "memo" today. An "Effort Reporting Violations Survey", they call it, about spending grant money mostly. It turned out to be such a bad April Fools joke that it took me a couple times reading it to be sure it wasn't serious. Some example questions:
Could you be more careful at work?
Are you married? If so, explain how you maintain relationships while fulfilling grant requirements.
What is the total value of objects you have broken in the past month?
What are you doing in Europe that you can't do by computer here?
Estimate what percentage of your internet usage you would qualify as "not safe for work". Please list the sites most commonly used for these purposes.
For the record: boxers or briefs?
Estimate the number of coworkers you have had inappropriate relationships with.
What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
This is like the worst kind of April Fools joke. It's more confusing than it is funny. And apparently someone thought it was worth sending out copies to everyone in the department.
Fantastic.
