Fun Things to Do Late Night

After so many serious posts (and an eternity stretched out in there somewhere), I figured now would be a good time to throw in something a little fun! Just a little list post, if you don't mind. (note: I am not responsible for any repercussion of any kind following this advice may have)

-Celebrate the many silly holidays out there like Talk Like a Pirate Day on 11/19, or Sneak Like a Ninja Day, on 12/5
-If you have enough willing participants, have box car races (with actual boxes)
-Bring crayons and coloring books (enough for everyone)
-Get out the receipt paper rolls (or even the toilet paper rolls if you want) and start building!
-Hide and Seek!
-Origami
-Bring in portable gaming systems and, if possible, have matches against each other.
-Bring in some danceable music and have a sock hop
-Air guitar
-Do many of the things already listed everywhere on the internet (google: "how to be annoying" or "how to stay sane")
-Come in armed with your best jokes and either tell them to just your co-workers, or even perform for your customers
-Pretend with a co-worker to speak a different language in front of customers
-Develop a "twitch" when working at the register
-Make costumes out of boxes and other miscellaneous trash
-Pretend to know one of your customers from the past (extra points if you convince them)
-Switch sections around to confuse the next shift
-Fake an accent...with regulars
-Store paper items in the fridge--give them expiration dates


I will be adding more as I come up with them (or steal them from friends). My point here, though, is that even really boring jobs don't have to be horribly so. And best of all, you get paid to do these things!
