A Merry Christmas Surprise for William!

I have never posted back-to-back William blogs, but this is simply too awesome for me to wait to post...

Last week, William was out for a few days. The other guys in the department (mostly Joe, the Colombian/Italian mastermind behind this) told me about a Christmas joke he had planned to play on William. I had a small but important role in this particular prank - I was supposed to text Joe this morning when William and I left our meeting and were on our way back to the office. This would have given Joe time to go *into* our office where he would be waiting to record William from the moment he entered. But being preoccupied mentally, I completely forgot to do this until we were in the elevator and only seconds away. Fortunately, everything still pretty much worked out as planned and Joe got into the office before William (btw, that is me you hear laughing through the entire video. I also make a brief appearance.)

They wrapped up everything on his desk - *everything*! - the desk itself, his monitor, keyboard, keyboard gel pad, mouse, phone, pager, thermos, pen, apples, papers, stapler, scanner, bar code reader... Then there was his chair, printer, garbage pail... I don't even know what else. He still hasn't finished unwrapping everything. He just unwrapped stuff as he needed it.

Here are some still shots:

Though I do not condone the wasted paper, I thought this was hilarious. I haven't laughed like that in a while and I needed it. Merry Christmas, William! Everybody loves you!
