Hi all,
A week ago I had the nightshift again, and it was very quiet. Yes, afterwards I dare to use "the word".

But when my nights are quiet I think off new ways to pull a prank on my colleagues. And this one included Tegaderm. Just to be clear, I work in a non-American (Belgian) hospital so it might have a different name for you guys. But it's the transparent foil you use to stick the bandages to a patient. Otherwis just Google it.
Anyway, the beauty with that stuff is that, if you use it correctly, you don't even see it. So what I did was stick a layer of the stuff on the phone horn. To be clear, on the part where you put your ear. Once I got out all the airbubbles and cleanly cut off the sides you didn't see the foil at all. To be sure I put on a second layer so that you still heared something, but not a lot. And the trap was set.
I came on that night and I asked my colleagues if they had any phone problems. The beauty was that noone noticed that the horn was taped off with the foil. The had fiddled with the volume buttons, thay had asked people on the other side of the line to speak up, but they never noticed the foil. They even almost brought the phone to the technical dept. to get it fixed. You can imagine that I was so happy with this result! Might do it again in a couple off months.
