I wanted to complete this task for a few days and had gone through the effort of compiling a list of fortunes and printing them out.

I was somewhat inspired by my completion of the "Merci" task, where I posted a thank you sign in the file room at my office. I figured that this would be the perfect spot for me to initiate my "Fortune Not Cookie" efforts.

At 5:00pm, when most people start leaving my office, I stayed at my desk and started cutting out fortunes. There were about 50 in all.



At about 5:30, I made my first venture to the file room:



I decided to take photos of the files as I was inserting the fortunes:


Unfortunately, my camera makes a fairly loud noise in an otherwise quiet office, and I started attracting attention. After nearly getting caught by the head of our tax department, I decided that I would stop photographing every fortune insertion. Needless to say, things went by a bit quicker.

I selected files haphazardly, and stashed about 25 in total. I then decided to move the mischief elsewhere:

Inside all the printers:

Just inside the refrigerator door:

Inside all the file cabinets:

Inside each laptop that was left on a desk:

And even a few inside mail for people who were on vacation:


There are some more shots of random desk drawer fortunes below as well, but those weren't nearly as exciting!
