The Beckett Blog

Beckett HQ has had a history of practical jokers over its 20+ years. This would be the perfect place for employees to reminisce about some of the jokes that have come to fruition.

A couple years ago I had a microwave in my office stop working. Not wanting to mess with discarding it, I simply took it over to Elon’s (our PR guy) cubicle and left it there for him to deal with. He left it sitting there for months, probably unaware of where it even came from.

When it came time for Beckett’s move to a new building a year ago, Elon figured he was free of the dead microwave and could just leave it there to be discarded after we vacated the old offices. Unbeknownst to him, after he packed his area up, I left a note on the microwave to be moved to his new office. As he was sitting at his new desk, one of our hired movers knocked on his door, asked if he was Elon, and said he had a delivery for him. A stunned Elon watched him set the dead microwave back on his new desk.
