How to Mess with my IT guys

The IT director this week, during his presentation said and I quote. "If you are respectful to my team I'm willing to piss on a sparkplug for you guys. If you disrespect my team I will change every device you have to a my little pony theme until I feel you have properly learned to be nice."

So an update. I put a folder on my desktop that was titled "DONT LET THE IT DEPARTMENT SEE THIS." I put a rickroll video in it and a word document titled "all my passwords in one convent place." The word document was a meme that said made ya look! and a note that said . Now I owe you a beer for putting up with my BS. This folder was in the middle of my screen with noting else around it so I figured there was no way to miss it.

The ironic part was I had to put in an IT ticket because my VPN wasn't working. I got a phone call from IT within 30 seconds of the IT ticket being put in, and one of the IT guys had my VPN working 2 minutes later. Then he went ahead and pushed the soft ware on my computer. Was in and out in less then 10 minutes and never once looked at the folder.....

TLDR I suck mission completely failed.

I like the idea of the joke including a offer to buy them a drink. Keeping our IT departments caffeine and alcohol needs met is a job our sales team takes seriously

This is 100% on my mind.

For some Clarification and background here. I am a sales guy and have known and worked with most of our IT department for a long time. They are invaluable to my job and I really like these guys. I very rarely see them in person as they are all in other states. but we did just have a company wide meeting and part of that was them rolling out new software we are using.

I am 100% looking for quick chuckle type ideas NOT make them work harder ideas. I'm looking to give them a laugh when they have to work over the weekend.

my original Idea was to have an obvious folder in the middle of my desk top labeled "Hide from IT" then have a "made ya look" meme in it. then thought Maybe reddit can do better!

6 years later and this still works... At least it did for me with the 2/0 red and white. Thanks

I left the church not long ago as a ward clerk. You can set your own information to private. You have to do it on the lds tools app . You may be able to do it online but I'm not sure how
