The other night dear, as I lay sleeping,
I dreamed I held you in my arms,
but when I woke dear, I was mistaken,
and I hung my head and cried.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
you make me happy when skies are gray
you'll never know dear, how much I love you,
please don't take my sunshine away.
I'll always love you and make you happy
if you will only say the same
but if you leave me to love another
you'll regret it all some day
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
you make me happy, when skies are gray,
you'll never know dear, how much I love you,
please don't take my sunshine away.
You told me once dear you really loved me
that no one else could come between
but now you've left me and love another
you have shattered all my dreams.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
you make me happy, when skies are gray,
you'll never know dear, how much I love you,
please don't take my sunshine away.

April Fool's Joke
Background History: [Colleague #2] who has a history of not showing up for work. [Colleague #1] is upset at [Colleague #2]'s behavior and doesn't understand why [Boss] is tolerant of [Colleague #2]'s behavior.
~~~~~
[Colleague#1],
[Boss] and I have talked about this and we have decided to delegate this important responsibility to you. We can't think of a more suitable person to handle this extremely crucial task given the professionalism and timeliness you demonstrated everyday at [Company]. We believe you would perform this duty to the perfection. No other person in our office can possibly be in charge or is even deserved to be in charge of such an important duty.
Here's what we have in mind:
As you know, [Colleague#2] will be moving down to the [City] area in April. In order to improve his attendance at the office, [Boss] and I think that it would be helpful to [Colleague#2] that YOU would give [Colleague#2] a morning call at 6:44 on weekday morning. And a follow-up call at 7:29 am. If he fails to show up at work, you would then head to his apartment and knock on his door and employ whatever means necessary to get him out of his bed.
Again, we think highly of your talents in coming up with ideas of encouraging [Colleague#2] to get up in the morning and come to work. And given your excellent track record in being the most responsible person in our office, we believe you would handle this task beautifully. We understand this is no easy assignment. And we wouldn't have assigned this duty to you if we don't think highly of your abilities. We appreciate your willingness to take on the most difficult tasks and your most positive attitude in accepting this challenge.

[Colleague #1],
Keeping it real, [Me] and I discussed this at length yesterday and we know this may prompt a knee jerk reaction-not necessarily positive. Therefore, we ask that you please sleep on it and really consider the value this will bring to the organization. It would be greatly appreciated and a real show of your team spirit. Thank you for considering this very important request.
[Boss]
~~~~~
[Boss],
I hope this is an April Fool's joke!
[Colleague #1]
~~~~~
[Colleague #1],
Oh yeah, it is April 1. Like I said, your immediate reaction was not expected to be positive. Why don't you sleep on it, we can talk seriously about it on April 2.
[Boss]
~~~~~
At this point [Colleague #1] was seemingly mad and I had a hard time keeping my face straight. So as [Colleague #1] was writing the following email, I announced to her, "April Fool!" The following email was sent anyway and my boss had no idea that [Colleague #1] already knew about the joke.
~~~~~
[Boss],
I don't need to think about this request. It is not something I want to do. I feel that [Colleague #2] should be able to get up on his own. If you force this responsibility on me, I will give my notice immediately!
[Colleague #1]
~~~~~
[Me] and and [Colleague #3],
Holy Crap she's mad!
[Boss]
~~~~~
Phone rang and it was [Boss].
~~~~~
[Me] and [Colleague #3],
Man, you guys got her good. Way to go! [Colleague #1] is a force to be reckoned with.
