One of our favorite days at LinkWorth is April 1st, or April Fool’s Day. And when I say “our”, I’m speaking of Matt and I (Ron). Each year we try to out perform our previous year of gags and jokes we play on the staff. This year I am 100% sure we topped all previous April Fool’s Day performances. I’d like to thank our staff for putting up with the full day of non-stop craziness and watch out for next year, because we already have the next 2 years planned out!!!
Let me run down a quick bullet list of what we did yesterday:
- We turned LinkWorth into ShrinkWorth by shrink wrapping the entire office
- We removed cubical dividing walls in the sales pit creating shared spaces
- We snuck keys away from many and moved their cars in the parking lot
- We ran video on everyone walking in first thing seeing it all and giving them an early morning blow horn
- We ran a looped audio of a sneeze we recorded from Matt Baker, who is the loudest sneezer in the world, through the phones for much of the afternoon
- We made a pot of coffee with half a container of sugar in it
- We caused our admin backend to appear to be crashed giving errors
- We had outsiders tell people they had live snakes in their drawer
- We sent fake emails to each Account Manager making them think their biggest client is canceling and complaining about them…and took video of them explaining themselves
As you can see, while it’s not a recognized holiday, there isn’t a lot of work that gets done on April 1 each year. There might be other spur of the moment ideas we put in place that I’m forgetting, but you get the point.
We have lots of pictures and even more video. The pictures are below and the video will be soon, once I figure out how to edit and put it all together in a nice looking format.
Hope you had as good of a day as we did!

What a fun day! I do want to thank our employees for being such good sports, you guys rock. That was a lot of fun and we do take great pride in making a mess of things on 4/1 every year.
Amazingly enough, ShrinkWorth only took an hour and a half to construct. The hi-jinks lasted all day, though, and my ears are still ringing from the damn air horns.
I’ll give you guys a hint for next year. If you own an umbrella and a football uniform, April 1st would be a good time to put both of them to use.
jiahahahaha, april mop!!!!
hahahahahaha… LOL,
what a funny day!! Great idea
it’s our favorite day up here. can’t wait until next year!
Nice fool’s Day! We also celebrate similar with that thing. Fun Idea!
I wish I lived in Texas, I would come work there. Looks like fun.
OMG… this is totally hilarious. It seems like you had quite a good April Fool’s day.
Sounds hilarious. Seems like a really fun place to work! Just putting the word out there, if you’re ever in need of a yacht or boat shipper, look up Yacht Exports. They did a wonderful job with me.
Sounds interesting. You should have asked me to join in!
Ha ha creative joke
Good Job! XD

Lol, how long did it take to do that with the office? I kinda get the picture of a guy running around laughing as he wraps everything in. xD
