Despite the low pay I love my job at the court house.
Why? My coworkers. Every single last one of them is cool and funny and just a joy to be around. One of the best characters in my office is Debbie Loso who is the Docket Clerk for Division 36 on Mondays. I'm the Docket Clerk for Division 38 on Mondays. Since we're both Monday clerks we've bonded a lot over our freakishly huge dockets, something which always occurs on our day, and the fact we have more confined weirdos to deal with than anyone else.
But as much as I like her there is one thing I have to squabble with her about. What's that? Her unwavering love for President George W. Bush. She loves him enough she has a bobblehead of him on her desk. When I first got hired I noticed said bobblehead and questioned why he was there. She went into a huge wax ecstatic speech about how brilliant Dubbya is and it took me a minute or two to realize she wasn't joking.
I then found out from who would become my closest office friend, Amy, that only Debbie likes Dubbya in the office and it had become something of a custom for people to do humorous but somewhat naughty things to the Dubbya bobblehead when she wasn't around. Mostly because Debbie is one of those people who has great over the top reactions to any joke you play on her but you know she's not mad at all and thinks it's as funny as you are. Thus I started thinking up things to do to the Dubbya bobblehead. Here is a list of the ones I can remember...
1. Arranging sugar on her desk to look like a line of cocaine that the bobblehead was snorting.
2. Wrapping him up in discarded paper from notices to make him look like a mummy.
3. Having his head bit by her "crocagator" a miniature alligator that sits on the end of her pencil.
4. Putting a paper hat on him that says, "Dunce."
As good as these minor pranks might have been there has been one prank which surpasses all others that Amy and I have been planning for several months now. Almost from the day I got hired, in fact. And that is the kidnapping of the Dubbya bobblehead. We've written a ransom note, arranged for a drop off, and then a pick up for the bobblehead and have even provided pictures of the captured bobblehead president.
Debbie will find the note and pictures tomorrow when she gets into work. Who will hold the bobblehead, you ask? Why the former Judge for our division! Hee. We have tons of people at the court house in on this prank and it should be hilarious to see her reaction. To prove that I really am truly this insane here are pictures of the ransom note and the kidnapped Dubbya bobblehead.
