Five ways to combat office stress_#1

“1, 2, 3,4... I declare a Frog War!” The stress and tension in out little cubicle farm was getting thick and deep as heavy fog. The four of us coworkers crowded into our closeted niche had grown close, thrown together by fate, bonded by the mutual brotherhood of being the lowest lifeforms on the office totem pole. Something must be done to disperse the cloud of doom hovering above our heads. So, I purchased a gross of stretchable rubber frogs at Oriental Trading company (oriental trading.com - they’re the best!). The frogs were long and thin. The back legs, and the forearms were molded into loops, like a rubber band. I had big plans for these little green meanies! I supplied each of the poor, unfortunate souls who shared my cube farm, with a dozen frogs each. We shot them like rubber bands at each other. The frogs arced gracefully across the room to ricochet off computer screens. Frogs We were frog warlords, and we strategized on elaborate trajectories to circumvent cubicle walls. I was successful in my quest to bring sunlight to melt the clouds, to lift the dark clouds of doom. Nothing like a frog to the back of the head to break the tension. I targeted my coworkers butts as they walked by. We were delighted to find that if we shot them straight up into the air they would stick to ceiling. There was a whole colony of upside-down frogs breeding up there. We yelled “incoming!” and ambushed the big boss and shot him with a barrage of frog artillery. Being ex-military he appreciated the realism of our pre-panned attack, but told us we would have to scrape the frogs off the ceiling. To this day the frogs are still there, an homage to oppressed workers everywhere.
Frog Wars was truly the most fun I’ve had in years. Try it. I highly recommend it. To this day my old coworkers and I send each other emails with jpgs of frogs. “Incoming!!!”
