So the joke's on me I guess...
The other day a couple of guys walked into my office and said they want to play a joke on a lonely guy who used to work here by mailing him a blowup doll from 'somewhere else'. They managed to talk me into doing an ebay search that didn't produce much, and I pretty much told them to go to an adult bookstore, get one, and get somebody heading out on business travel to ship it from where ever they happen to be going. I thought it was a stupid joke anyway, and forgot about it.
So today an IT guy I've never seen before stops in and asks to use my computer for a few minutes "to check a couple of IP addresses". No big deal.
About 45 minutes later he is accessing my computer remotely, so I ask him what he's doing by typing the question on the screen. Answer: "Corporate asked me to monitor your computer use, because there have been some flags regarding access of questionable sites."
I finally get him on the phone and ask him what's going to happen. He said corporate needs some answers on accessing pages with "blow up dolls", and that we would need to wait and see what they wanted to do with me. I launched right into the story so he could pass it on to corporate, and suddenly realized I was talking to him from one of the original guys extension and it hit me. "You assholes set me up!", followed by belly laughing from about 5 people in the background.
I was about to vomit by this time because people have been fired for less, and had even pulled the garbage can closer just in case. BASTARDS!!!! It's been an hour and a half and I'm still not right. There is nothing I can do to top this one, or even come close to it. I'm not sure I would even want to, because some jokes go a little too far.
Anyway, I laughed it off and they think I'm some great sport, but the truth is that I hate them right now. :icon_evil

Cliff Notes:
Coworkers set me up, made me think corporate was "onto my bad internet usage", and that I was going to be fired. Jokes on me.
