Updates and results...

Well, the Annoy-a-tron was a huge success but ended up annoying unintended victims to the point of full chimpout! If you'll recall, the 2.0 version had bigger everything plus 6 sound choices. After careful consideration I chose the cricket chirp. I replaced the last unit behind the girl's work stations with the 2.0 and watched the hilarity ensue. First chirp one of the girls just about jumped out of her chair. This edition of the A-A-T is very loud and throws a good echo from the I-Beam where it is placed to sound like it could be coming from several different locations. It was beautiful. People came from far corners of the building after the first few chirps looking for the cricket. This lasted all through the day last Saturday. On Monday, our resident colored boy came in at 6, right after the supervisor. A couple of us are in on this joke so we waited patiently. Didn't take long. "Brutha Wauka" heard the first chirp of the morning and shot from his cubicle. In a typically loud scream, "Ana buddy heah dat? sound like a muh fuggen mouse! I was hearin it aw day Satta day. I know we gots mice in heah. You hear it don't you?" Andy said, "I heard a cricket." I said me too. Brutha Waukka says he know what a mouse sound like and that be a muh fuggen mouse got dammit. The boy was on all fours looking for mouse turds until Andy warned him the mouse might jump out at him. OOOWEEE, dang. **CHIRP** Got dammit, there it go again! Some one best take care a that mouse or I'm goin home! I ain't gots ta work in conditions where muh fuggen mice be runnin unda muh feets!

Had to ultimately remove the unit because of the hysterical boon. His buddy, our other token joined in the fight to have the mice removed. Everyone was laughing at them because it was clearly a cricket, but these project dwellers couldn't relate. They knew what mice sound like! Absolutely hysterical to watch. They were terrified!

On a safety note, Krill is getting annoyed with the personal attacks using his name and making fun of safety. Even though I am the only one who updates his safety board, he can't stop whining. If he only knew. He even comes to me crying. "You're here early...you ever see which one of those assholes is writing all over my board?" Nope...they must do it when I'm on break or something! Here are two from this past week...enjoy!

"LMAO!"
I can picture those colored mens crawling around on the floor looking for "da mice" Wow! I knew they were afraid of ghosts and water, but not mice too!

I do notice the use of words like Moisture and Soiled on the safety boards, what I find amazing is how often you can toss these into your repertoire. Good one buddy!

Hell, I'm going to put annoyatrons all over the neighborhood if it will help keep the Obamatrons away.

I think if I worked in a place like yours, I'd be doing annoyatrons too.
