Papa Is On My Desktop
Years ago I had a supervisor who always had his computer desktop covered with files. One day I did a screenshot of it and made it into a desktop picture. Then I hid his files on a server. He almost went crazy clicking on files and restarting his computer in an attempt to get it working.
I am going to do that to my ex *rubs hands with evil laughter*

My question is why would anyone have Internet Explorer displayed?
I'm definitely gonna have to use some of these ideas! For awhile, mine was the Dunder Mifflin background from The Office, lol. Most people at my work were dopes and didn't get it :/
