Most Paizo employees have flown to Gen Con. While not desperately trying to get subscriptions out with the warehouse crew, I sit in my dark office and listen to the cave raptors scuttle around in the walls. I think the spider decorations hanging in the designers' office across the hall are starting to move.
Very few supervisory staff members remain. Contemplating office pranks.

Spider decorations? There were no spider decorations in the designers' office...
Spiders serve as a Jason Bulmahn deterrent. Sadly, they work on interns as well.
Just remember, if you fill someone's office with packing material, just be sure to leave a bottle of their favorite alcohol on their desk ... it will delay the inevitable payback.
One of the first things I was taught at Paizo is the concept of ~*~INTERN IMMUNITY~*~. But I like your style.
I am pricing large quantities of party hats and gray spray paint for use in one office. I am open to ideas for Wes's office, James's office, and the development and editorial pits.

We found the beginnings of a wasp nest under a pallet in the warehouse today. Clearly, this is a sign that the cave raptors have allied with a Calistrian cult. Rethinking helping the warehouse during subscription week.
Have dropped parents off at the airport for Gen Con, adding to newly-developed abandonment issues. Don't leave me, forum people.

Prank equipment list
Vegemite
Gladwrap
Superglue
Sticky tape
100 printed pictures of a creepy movie star
Blu-Tack
Talcum powder
Vaseline
Various tools for disassembling furniture
100 pingpong balls (my preference is for several bags of beanbag balls but I don't want you to get sacked)
Your imagination.

helium tank
hundreds upon hundreds of balloons
baling wire
strong rubber bands
champagne bottle streamer poppers
Use the baling wire to make the desk chair incapable of rolling out from the desk. Use the rubber bands to have the desk draws close when released. Rig the streamer poppers to fire once the desk drawers are open. Fill the office with balloons the night before the target's return to the office.
Yes, I have done this. And I came in a few days later to find my desk wrapped in aluminum foil with a layer of glitter underneath the aluminum foil ... let me tell you, glitter and computer keyboards do not mix well at all.

There's plenty of desk space up here! We'll give you Cosmo's desk. And your fellow "awesomes" have some plans you might be interested in...

3 words: tin foil office. We did this to one of our lieutenants when I was in the Air Force. Wrapped everything in her cubicle in tin foil, from her desk down to her pens. Somebody even managed to do her bdu top she left hanging on her chair. There is a demotivational poster of it floating around the interwebs.

Is there a way to make Jason's office just smell of Liquor? I mean he will waste days looking for it if you can. Of course one assumes it does not already have such a lingering smell to it.
That's just mean. That's like making my apartment smell of chocolate, but not having any. Don't get any ideas, bub. :)

I know I saw something online about a chocolate smelling perfume or candles of something. Damn the trip to Florida is long, but hey it is nice down there.

Not cave raptors, but the creeping crud. I didn't even go to Gen Con!
Behold the result of our scheming.

Did the others returned from their trip?
Don't they seem different? Don't they act strange, as if not exactly being themselves?
They seem to have applied the zombie template to themselves, yes. I may invest in nerf guns.
There may or may not have been a directive on the project management whiteboard to BRING BOOZE on Tuesday... FOR FREEDOM! FOR HUMANKIND!

Maybe if you'd take your intern to Gen Con, she would have been so grateful she'd have brought some.

I am pretty sure alcohol of any kind never makes it back from Gen Con.

Armor spikes and a vorpal bunny hidden in an innocent looking box?! Insidious! ;)
Great decoration btw. How did he react when he saw it?

Thanks! Mika from the warehouse helped. :)
He signed heavily, begrudgingly let me place the armor spike crown (not pictured) on his head, opened his office door... and sighed again. While he acted resigned on the outside, I'm pretty sure he liked it at least a little, because he left the spikes on the front of his desk. The ones on the door had to come down almost immediately--dear Mr. Mona took 1d3 damage after failing his Reflex save.
Jason hasn't even learned his lesson--he's leaving for Dragon Con next weekend.

You need hundreds of pictures of Justin Bieber - big ones, small ones, poster sized... and then you need to hide and stick them all over the place... its the prank that keeps on pranking...
He opens his draw and Bieber is looking at him, he gets a book off the shelf to find a Bieber bookmark.
He goes to get a coffee and his mug has been replaced with a Bieber mug.

Hmmm... suggestions for the DragonCon office revamp... swashbucklers. Lots of them. Make our wishes known! Also, replace all Pathfinder RPG books (there don't seem to be many, actually) with (pick your favourite other system).
And last but not least, put a small piece of masking tape over the light of his optical mouse. Oh, and does Ctrl+Alt+Up still invert a monitor? That could be worth a second or two of confusion.

Blutack all the pens to the ceiling.
These will probably get you sacked so I don't recommend them.
Glad-wrap (cling wrap, cling film, sandwich wrap not sure what you guys call it) the toilet bowl.
If the toilet seat is black rub it down with Vegemite (you can use black boot polish).
If the toilet seat is white Vaseline is best to use...
Vaseline is also fun on door handles.

I laughed for a good five minutes at this. At 1 in the morning. Loudly.
