Day 5 - Keyboard Outage (More of a success than intended! )

So, today's was meant to be a brief one.  I hid in Helper Elf Number Two's office while Helper Elf Number One lured Hua-yu into the kitchen.  Helper Elf Number One texted me and let me know Hua-yu was out of her office and I went in and turned off her keyboard.

We all have the same keyboards:

Basic, wireless keyboards. 

They all have a feature that many people don't know about though:

An on-off switch.

So, I flipped the switch and then hightailed it to the kitchen for some minor fun with Hua-yu psychological games.

She got back to her office and her keyboard didn't work.  Now, I expected her to either flip the switch (if she knew about it) or call me to ask what I did.  Possibly that she would go get new batteries.  None of these occurred.  Instead, she called one of our other employees who currently heads up a lot of the tech troubleshooting.  At this point Helper Elf Number Two went to intervene and I called, so it stopped with changing of the batteries and didn't go down an IT path.

Hua-yu has told Helper Elf Number One to be scared, but overall has been a good sport about it.

Definitely more of a reaction that I was expecting for today's event which I honestly intended to be a very brief one.  Personally, I enjoyed it as it added some unanticipated mirth, interest and fun to a bittersweet day.

Carry on team.
