Elf on the Shelf Antics in the Wipro East Brunswick Office
December has always been a magical time at the Wipro East Brunswick office, but this year, things have taken an unexpectedly hilarious turn. As the holiday season approached, we welcomed an unexpected guest: an Elf on the Shelf, whom we lovingly named "Aiden” (or AI-den). What started as innocent fun soon spiraled into a series of comical escapades that left the entire office in stitches.
The Arrival
We first found Aiden perched atop the coffee machine, holding a tiny "Welcome" sign. Interestingly, Aiden had even managed to sign into the Envoy visitor management system, leaving us all bewildered at his technological prowess. The unassuming elf seemed harmless enough, but little did we know, this was just the beginning of his mischievous reign.
Day 1: Mug Mania & Sustainability
On the first day, we arrived to find that Aiden had used our office mugs to build a miniature "Mug Tower" in the break room, each mug intricately balanced on the next. Alongside the tower was a note that read, "Save the planet, one reusable mug at a time!" It was a whimsical reminder of the importance of sustainability and using reusable items. Not only did it bring awareness to our environmental impact, but it also gave us a good laugh as we reclaimed our mugs from the creative sculpture
Day 3: The Great Shredding Heist
Two days later, the elf upped his game. We caught Aiden in the act of shredding the naughty list he was on, along with some of his co-horts. His reason for being on the naughty list? He was caught eyeing up the gifts under the tree for our Adopt-a-Family program. The sight of the little elf frantically feeding paper into the shredder left us all in stitches, even as we scrambled to piece together the remnants of the shredded list.
Day 5: Ornaments Everywhere
By the fifth day, Aiden had really hit his stride. He created a facility safety hazard by scattering holiday ornaments all over the office. The usually serious IT department found themselves in fits of laughter, trying to gather all the ornaments in one place. While it was a bit of a safety concern, the sight of the decorations scattered in every corner brought a festive chaos to our workspace.
Day 7: Reception Antics and Story Time
On the seventh day, Aiden was found hanging out in the reception area, doing handstands on the counter and posing for selfies with the office staff. Later, we spotted him sitting comfortably with a copy of the "Story of Wipro" book, fully immersed in the company’s history. The image of our mischievous elf diving into the pages of our corporate story added a humorous and endearing touch to the reception area.
The Finale
As the holiday season drew to a close, Aiden decided to leave us with a parting gift. The little elf joined the volunteers gathered for the wrapping of gifts for the Adopt-a-Family program. He added his own flair by wrapping himself up in colorful ribbons and bows, causing a flurry of laughter among the volunteers. His antics didn’t stop there; Aiden managed to sneak tiny notes with whimsical holiday jokes into the wrapped presents. The highlight of the event was a PowerPoint presentation titled "The Year in Review: Elf Edition," showcasing all his escapades with photographic evidence
Farewell, Aiden
As we bid farewell to our mischievous visitor, we couldn't help but feel a sense of camaraderie and joy that his antics had brought to the office. Aiden reminded us that even in the busiest of times, a little laughter and a touch of whimsy can go a long way.
Here's to you, Aiden! Until next year, may your elf-sized adventures continue to bring smiles to all who encounter you.
Happy Holidays from the Wipro East Brunswick team!
