Rabbit! Rabbit!

My friend and past supervisor Nanci has the crazy tradition at the beginning of each month - you say Rabbit Rabbit! If you are the first one to say it to your friend, family, neighbor, colleague, whomever, you will have good luck for the month. Of course, it caught on like wild fire at my last job and we would go to extremes to be the first one. Sometimes I would stay late at work the night before the 1st and write it on a piece of paper, or better yet put a note in the fridge where everyone put their lunches. We would call, type message, send ecards, etc. to be the first Rabbit! Rabbit! and get the most luck.

Well, like most silly traditions, it spun slightly out of control and Nanci instated a new policy in that you had to physically say "Rabbit! Rabbit!" to the person to get the luck. No phone messages, no typed notes, no e-cards. Of course, will caller ID on most of the phones, its been tricky to pull it off, for your names appears and your Rabbit victim won't answer it. Today, I covertly called Nanci's receptionist, said my name was someone from the affiliate in Columbus and I was able to get her with Rabbit! Rabbit! as she sweetly said "Hello."

Rabbit! Rabbit!
