Well, it seems that there was one brave soul that decided to challenge the norm and turn the lights on. I’m pretty sure it was our department director since she tends to challenge most things.
It was fun while it lasted…

Ok, this is so funny. Since my friend, Trey, and I usually are the first ones to get into work, we leave the lights off because we just like it that way. But we usually don’t get to because one guy, Jerry, always gets here first and turns them on. But on the days he doesn’t, we leave them off. No one else minds until a certain person walks in, turns them on, then comes to her desk and says, “why are you guys sitting in the dark?” - which irks me to no end, but is understandable.
So, Jerry is on vacation for the next 4 weeks. We decided today to see how far she would go to get them turned on, so we taped the switch shut. To our surprise, she didn’t turn them on and just chalked it up to the construction guys doing work down the hall. But now it’s kind of scary cause our boss is wondering why they are off because he is now in a completely dark office. I really want to see if we can make it to the end of the day. If we do, I’ll just take the tape off on my way out.
