Found out from the girl at the gym that its a joke being played on me by my coworkers.
We are having a "Department Meeting" in 1 hour where it will come to an end. I've been asked to play along.
This is in retribution for a April Fool's joke I played on a coworker of mine last year.

Ok so I show up for the meeting in the kitchen and the whole department is wearing tydyed shirts just like the one that was sent to me. They had a nice Ice Cream cake waiting for me and some jeers. Good fun was had by all.
Last April Fool's my team lead(Matt) was on an install in Oil City PA. Our other Team Lead(Diane) was home sick.
I instant messaged Diane and said Matt had called me early in the morning and said he was in jail. He had side swiped 3 parked cars while drunk and made it back to the hotel where he was promptly pulled from his bed by the police.
Matt had actually started like a month before this, so she was afraid to tell our department head in fear he would fire Matt for drinking and driving w/ a company rental vehicle.
Below is the whole transcript from the incident which was emailed to Diane at the end of the joke which was about 4 hours worth of laughs.
Jeff=Me
Matt=Out of town lead
Diane= at home sick team lead
Tony= Department head
Nobody was in on this except me, and Tony once I told him I needed his computer.
After 3 more hours I copy and pasted the above in an email w/ APRIL FOOLS in large text.

Jeff's original IM that started it all
j_heffner2003: hey, have a very important favor to ask, but you cant mention it to HR
Dianne: what's up?
j_heffner2003: Matt got arrested last night, and we are trying to come up w/ the bond money Mike, todd and I have come up w/ $240 of the $1700 needed
j_heffner2003: we thought about telling tony, but dont want to get matt in trouble
Dianne: what did he do?
j_heffner2003: Suppsoedly Hit and Run on a couple of vehicles, and DUI, although Matt said the DUI would not hold up in court considering they dragged him from his hotel room after they tracked down the rental
Dianne: omg!
j_heffner2003: he left a message on my phone, he was in tears, he said he wasnt drinking when it happened he did it at the hotel
Dianne: my first reaction is... I'm pissed! how irresponsible
Dianne: why did he hit and run then if he wasn't drunk
Dianne: ?
j_heffner2003: I feel bad for him, he sounded really upset
j_heffner2003: he didnt say, and the number he told me to call will not connect me to him
j_heffner2003: so we are waiting on his next call, he said he was being arraigned at 2 est
j_heffner2003: And we have not been able to get ahold of the tech in the area
Dianne: hmmm well, I don't want to get him in any more trouble either but wondering since the rental was for company business... on company credit card... maybe we should tell Tony???
j_heffner2003: Would you tell him, I'd hate to piss him off for not telling him right away?
Dianne: yes, I will... I think it would be best... don't you?
Dianne: what else do you know... he said he wasn't drinking but why hit & run??
j_heffner2003: better coming from you then me
j_heffner2003: I know it sounds fishy
j_heffner2003: he probably was but wont admit it
Dianne: how much damage... do we know???
j_heffner2003: 3 cars, but he did not elaborate
Dianne: his and 2 others?
j_heffner2003: no his and 3 others
j_heffner2003: they were parked near each other on the side of the road
Dianne: ok
Dianne: what does Mike think?? Tell tony?
j_heffner2003: yeah we dont know who else to tell, Tony might have a good idea of what we can do
Dianne: ok... sit tight.. I'm going to call him... is he in his office?
j_heffner2003: mike said yes
j_heffner2003: steve R is in w/ him but I dont think it matters
Tony and Dianne's IM
Diane: hey, you there?
Diane: I need to talk to you... can I call?
TonyW: I'm up in a meeting, what's up
Diane: oh... well, I need to talk to you as soon as you are done.. when might that be?
TonyW: Got another meeting from 10-10:30
Diane: no time until then... it's kind of important
TonyW: give me a quick clue
Diane: ok...well, I'd rather do it on the phone but here goes..
Diane: it appears Matt got into a little trouble last night in PA - arrested
TonyW: WHAT
Diane: yeah... he's really upset... guess he hit & run on 3 parked cars and the cops dragged him from his hotel room arrested for DUI - bond is $1700 and he's really upset - left a vm for Jeff
Diane: what do we do? Do we need to involve HR?
TonyW: Holy cow
Diane: yeah...
TonyW: He is in his 90 day window, I could just fire him, what do you think of that?
Diane: I know... I don't know what to do...
Jeff takes over Tony's keyboard
TonyW: I knew I should have gotten rid of him when I caught him drinking in the bathroom
Diane: at first I was really pissed off - if you want more details you can talk to Jeff
Diane: WHAT??? why didn't you tell me???
TonyW: right then I should have got HR involved, but Mat said it was a one time thing
Diane: apparently he has a drinking problem....
TonyW: something about stress and being away from home
Diane: I would have never sent him to PA if I would have known that!!
TonyW: man, never thought of that, hope I dont get in trouble
Diane: well... what do we do?
TonyW: So why didnt Jeff tell me this morning???
Diane: please don't get mad at him... he was trying to help without getting him in trouble..
TonyW: There is no excuse for not telling me this right away.
Diane: he was afraid you would get mad - then when he didn't tell you right away he really didn't want to tell you knowing you would be mad for him not coming to you right away
TonyW: Luckily he's not in the office right now, Mike said he's outside smoking l;ike usual
Diane: so maybe a light scolding... they all know... Mike & Todd too
TonyW: WHAT!!!
Diane: they were trying to raise enough $ for the bail
TonyW: Then why didnt Mike tell me, I can understand Todd not saying anything since him and Matt are both new
Diane: ??? don't know
Diane: guess they wanted to bring it to me first???
Diane: and I just logged on
TonyW: So now they hide behind you?
Diane: they told me right away!
TonyW: Should I go to Tim or Kay?
Diane: I'm not making excuses for them... lets just try and focus on the problem?
Diane: well, I guess Tim but he will probably go directly to Kay and you know Kay will just fire him
Diane: I don't know.. maybe that's what needs to happen but I'm all for 2nd chances if possible...
TonyW: k, gotta go, I'll just let him sit there and think about it for awhile.
Diane: can I be included on the conversations please?
TonyW: Isn't this a management problem?
Diane: ok
Jeff again at his own keyboard
Dianne: I IMd him and he said he's in a meeting
Dianne: then got another from 10-10:30
j_heffner2003: damn, just talk to hi over Im possibly, we needed to get this taken care of asap
Dianne: I am...
Jeff again at his own keyboard
j_heffner2003:
Dianne: you there?
j_heffner2003: sorry back
Dianne: he's pissed
j_heffner2003: he said he wants to talk to me gotta go
j_heffner2003: I'll message you when I'm done
Dianne: ok
After 3 more hours I copy and pasted the above in an email w/ APRIL FOOLS in large text.

They got him back WAY better, he has been paranoid for quite a while now. Hell he was suspicious of everyone at the gym. Of course they ran the risk that their joke would backfire if he actually did like boys.
