Prank

"Perfect," I mutter to myself as I close the door to my boss's office. I always loved pranking people especially bosses, and this one was the best one yet. I walk back to my cubicle glowing and past my best friend at work, Bill, and give him the 'I just set a prank' look and he just smiles right back in the same radiant fashion as he copies papers. I sit down in my cubicle's chair and giddily spin it once and then get back to work. I start typing up the report that is due at the end of the work day when out of my peripheral vision I see my boss headed toward his office and my smile on my face grew bigger. I set back to work waiting for the prank to take place. Then the blaring sound of the air horn cut through the office workplace and solid thump followed. I loved that rig and it gave me great satisfaction to see that it worked. I had duct taped an air horn to the back of my boss's door so that when it was opened it would be pressed down and it worked! Now to get back to work because I did have work to do, but it was worth the lunch break. I settled down and got back to work. Today, pushing aside the prank, was pretty uneventful, I thought in my head as I printed out my report on the week. While the slow printer was printing I saw my friend come over to me on his way out and said to me while giving me a high five,
"That was a great prank man, but I think that the boss is pretty mad."
"Ok, thanks for the heads up man, have a good weekend," I respond.
"Thanks, I will," he says as he leaves. I then turn around and see the report, all twenty pages, has printed. I then turn towards the boss's office, dreading what will come next, dreading what will happen when I step inside the doors of the office. I approach the door and then knock not knowing what would come next.
"Come in," I hear from the other side of the door. I push the latch down and then push it gently in careful not to trip the trap. Then I hand the report to my boss and he looks over it for a few minutes and then says,
"You did a good job on this." A wave of relief washes over me and then I hear,
"But do not be relieved yet because I never really liked you and today your action is enough for a reasonable reason to dismiss you."
"It will not happen again, I promise," I say knowing that I am pleading for my job.
"You have said that before Jason and I don't trust you, so to prove I can trust you I ask for your report to be in by Wednesday," my boss states in a matter of fact way.
"I can't bec-," my boss interrupts me,
"I don't want to hear that, you're fired!" I thought to myself with those words, what will I tell my wife?
