I walked into my office today for the first time around noon and noticed lit christmas lights everywhere. I thought “woah, cool! My office mates put up christmas lights!” Then I quickly realized that the lights are only strung around the shelves above MY desk, and were plugged into MY power strip. The lights weren’t here when I left last night around 7pm, but they were here already when a post-doc came in at 7:30am this morning. No note, no explanation, no nothing. Nobody knows who or why.
My officemates think that I have a secret admirer, which is an entertaining and attractive thought. I’m thinking though, that it was a practical joke by someone who had key access to our office. So who’s the ghost of christmas lights? Nobody knows.
