A New Office Project....

HELP!! I need some ideas!!!!

Here is my plan: The president of the college I work at would LOVE to get a viral video going around about the college. It's a small private school in Chicago that is well known in this area, but little known outside of the State of Illinois. He has created video contests with the students (with very little participation) and encouraged employees to create something fun and catchy that may get a few thousand hits on the school's YouTube page. A couple of years ago, I created all of the student social networking pages for the college, for example, MySpace, Facebook, YouTube, etc. and have been tracking the profile views. We are trying new media marketing tactics to see how it effects our lead results.

My idea is to create many 5 minute 'webisodes' of things happening around the office. I would be drawing some of my ideas from the movie "Office Space" and from the TV show "The Office". It would be about those little frustrations that we experience in office life. But I'm looking for an array of ideas to put at least 5 episodes together. I'm known to be a prankster in the office, so I will draw from my experiences also. Here are a couple that I already have...

1) A while back, me and a co-worker played a prank on my other co-worker where we changed the sounds on her computer. When the computer started up, instead of doing the normal Windows XP start up sound, it was us screaming really loud (plus we turned her volume up). Then, we rearranged her sounds, replaced some of them with other recorded sounds (for example...when the computer beeps because you can't do something, it played my voice saying "Whoops! Excuse me!" in a high-pitched funny voice.

2) We have had a few crazy interns in the few years that I've been here. I have an idea to have a 'craxy' intern working the reception desk.

3) Other ideas I have involve: broken fax machines, extended lunches, the Internet's ups and downs, employee harassment, the smoker's circle, sneaking out and leaving a fake person in the office chair, and some others that have to be thought out.

I am going to work on the into for the webisodes...it will look semi-similar to most of the sitcoms of the 1990s. I'll post it up once I get it done! But please let me know of any crazy office ideas or experiences that you have had that I may be able to make a short story out of!

Thanks everyone,
Joey
