CIMG0679

Background: Our building is being picketed by the Mid-Atlantic Carpenter's Union because (as I understand it) one of the subcontractors uses non-union employees. Every morning we're greeted by a picket line of roughly 15-20 carpenters and (again, as I hear it) folks picked up from the local homeless shelter (presumably to increase numbers) chanting and walking in an oval, with placards and signs. There are usually two or three other guys standing off to the side, one leading the chanting, and the other holding a clipboard (I don't know what the third does when he's there). I find this all pretty entertaining. On the really good days, they bring in a giant papier mache (I think) rat, tied to the bed of a pickup truck. The rat must be 15-20 feet tall. Sometimes they put a picket sign on it. Awesome. Sadly, I have yet to bring in my camera on a rat day.

 

Anyway, it was clear to me that if I was going to pull an april fool's prank at work, it would have to be Picketing Peeps.
