Fun at Work Day
Have double the fun on April 1, because it is not only April Fool’s Day but it is also Fun at Work Day.
Sometimes celebrated on January 28, the day encourages people to add some fun to their workday.
How to Celebrate?
Here are some ideas on what you can do to make work fun on Fun at Work Day or any other day:
- Bake goodies and bring them for your colleagues.
- Play harmless pranks on your colleagues and coworkers.
- Watch Office Space or a few episodes of The Office at work.
- With the consent of your supervisor, spend some time playing board games at work.
Did You Know…
…that studies have shown that a person's perception of time changes when they are having fun? According to these studies, having fun can help pass the time faster.

One afternoon while I was visiting my library, I noticed a group of preschoolers gathered for story time. The book they were reading was "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly." After the librarian finished the first page, she asked the children, "Do you think she'll die?"
"Nope," a little girl in the back said. "I saw this last night on 'Fear Factor.' "
***
On the afternoon of Administrative Professionals Day, my co-worker and I finally found the time to get gifts for our secretaries. While at the store, my colleague noticed my disappointment when I discovered the shop didn't provide gift wrapping. "What's wrong?" he asked.
"They won't wrap the gifts for us," I answered.
"No problem," he said quickly. "I'll ask my secretary to do it."
***
Our copier was on the fritz so I put a note on it: "Service has been called." When the technician told me he had to order parts, I added a second note: "Parts have been ordered."
During the next five days, when we had to use an older, slower copier on the other side of the building, someone taped a third note to the machine: "Prayers have been said."
***
When my printer's type began to grow faint, I called a local repair shop, where a friendly man informed me that the printer probably needed only to be cleaned. Because the store charged $50 for such cleanings, he told me, I might be better off reading the printer's manual and trying the job myself.
Pleasantly surprised by his candor, I asked, "Does your boss know that you discourage business?"
"Actually it's my boss's idea," the employee replied sheepishly. "We usually make more money on repairs if we let people try to fix things themselves first."
