LOL! This reminds me of good times at my last job.
It was totally acceptable to shoot nurf guns and rubber chickens at anyone within range...especially if they did something stoooopid. My cube mate had quite an arsenal, so I made sure I didn't screw up, lol. We also had 16 dogs at work every day and hoppity-horse racing (code monkeys versus management) to relieve stress. We all saved our bubblewrap to celebrate hitting major deadlines - spread it on the floor & jump the 'bubblewrap dance" ...drove the dogs nuts but sure made us laugh!
I sure don't miss the mainland, but I really miss that job - management worked us hard, but let us have our stress relievers! If I EVER have employees I'm instituting a lot of those fun things to keep them happy.
