April Fools 2009 - Phase 1

Our office always has a lot of fun around April Fool's Day. It seems that every year one of the boss' go out of town for the week during April Fool's, giving us adequate time to plan and implement a very large scaled joke. This year was no exception. My new boss decided that it would be the perfect time to spend a week in the mountains skiing with her family. She was right, they got 61" of fresh powder while they were up there. So in return, we filled her office from floor level to about 6' high with 1525 high quality helium grade balloons. Well worth it! Here are some pictures of the joke.

At one point, we could no longer feed balloons in through the door, because it was getting too full. So we decided to pop a couple of ceiling tiles and feed them through the ceiling to finish it off.

How did my boss react to the surprise? Well she loved it! Here are a couple of videos. The first is the initial reaction, the second is where we lost her in the balloons for a brief moment.
