Imma Start A Riot Imma Start A Riot

Ever feel that little spark inside? That urge to, well, shake things up a bit? Me too.

It started small, a whisper really. A little nudge to maybe, just maybe, do something… different.

The Spark

It all began with a rubber duck. Yes, you read that right, a rubber duck. Not just any rubber duck, mind you, but a glow-in-the-dark rubber duck.

I placed it strategically, on the dashboard of my car. A silent rebellion against the beige boredom of my daily commute.

People noticed. Some smiled, some pointed, one lady actually gave me a thumbs up! It was… exhilarating.

Operation: Sparkle Bomb

Next came the glitter. A *single* packet of biodegradable glitter, scattered in my friend's desk drawer. A tiny, harmless sparkle explosion.

She found it hilarious! Called me a “glitter terrorist," but I think she secretly liked it. After all, who doesn't love a little sparkle?

Then the post-it notes arrived. Bright pink, bright yellow, bright green! Each one adorned with a silly pun.

I stuck them randomly around the office – on the coffee machine, on the printer, even on my boss’s monitor. (He chuckled, I swear!).

The mood lifted, that's for sure. People were laughing, sharing the puns, and generally being… happier.

Escalation Station

Okay, maybe things got a *little* out of hand. The yarn bombing incident, for instance.

I crocheted a tiny hat for the office water cooler. It took me hours, and it was completely ridiculous. It was also incredibly charming.

But I wouldn't say that I *started* the yarn bombing. A colleague named Brenda added a scarf the next day! So it was *our* fault.

The Ripple Effect

The riot took on a life of its own. One morning, I found a miniature gnome guarding my stapler.

Another colleague had replaced the office air freshener with lavender scented ones. The office was smelling like a spa suddenly.

The point is, the silliness was contagious. Everyone wanted in on the fun!

The Grand Finale (So Far)

The grand finale was the “Compliment Bomb." Everyone wrote down a compliment on a slip of paper.

We then secretly delivered them to each other’s desks. The result? A wave of genuine smiles and heartfelt appreciation. It made everyone feel good.

So, what started as a tiny spark of mischief, a rubber duck on a dashboard, turned into a full-blown… well, not a riot, really. More of a joyful revolution.
