If you could do anything within a 24 hour period...
knowing full-well that the next day everything would reset to the day before, what would you do?
For the last 2 days I've had to work 14 hour shifts due to my staff phoning in sick and generally being unreliable, so right now my choice would be burning the shop to the ground.

I skim-read this as "If you could do anything with a 24 hour period..." And had to do a double-take.
I figured most men would be terrified. Or they'd give it to their girfriends?
I would be elated!
I dunno what I would do.... um, spend the day shoplifting random crap? All the things I can think of that I'd want to do would probably take longer than a day to accomplish. And I probably wouldn't want the reset after them.
Like buying 5000 little plastic parachute men and hurling them off of the top of some country's "landmark" building/structure all at once. I'd need to get the money to buy the toys and a plane ticket, select a country, somehow get to the top of it with 5000 parachute men (and some sort of launching device, I assume), spend a couple of days opening all the little stupid parachutes and laying them so they won't tangle and then launch them. Even if I settled for a tall office building, it all requires planning, saving, and after all of that effort I sure as heck wouldn't want a reset.

This is my signature. My wasted space. My little corner. You can't have it. It's mine. I can write whatever I want. And I have!
Oh, I know what I'd do. I'd break into the apartment of the idiot pot smokers on my floor's apartment, take their weed, burn some/leave it in conspicuous places and call the res. managers. That's what they get for being inconsiderate ****s and making the communal washing machine stink.
If people want to smoke pot, that's their business. The moment it starts affecting me is when I get pissed, however. I have to pay for each load of laundry, and if my clothing comes out smelling like that disgusting-smelling shit, the kid gloves are ****ing off.
Or, well... they would be if there was something I could actually do. Legally, I mean... I'm not really going to go break into someone's apartment.
Angggeeerrrrr. I can't stand that ****ing stench.
... Anyway, carry on. >.> <.< >.>

So no matter what I did, no matter what happens, would reset the next day? Like nothing ever happened?
I'd steal the most expensive car in town, drive around town as fast as I can throwing pipe bombs at anything and everything(and everyone) I saw. Take a flamethrower to the police station. Steal and smoke/drink as much pot/alchohol as I could get my hands on. (and I love the smell of Pot)
I'd steal every transformer in every store in town... and spend whatever time left, opening and playing with them.

All that was needed was a catalyst and the machines of war are set in motion.

Although a crime spree sounds like fun i wouldn't go as far as killing people...kicking certain people's head in yes...but no killing. plus it would have to be meticulously planned so as not to spend the rest of the day behind bars.

One day that could be reset? Hm...
I do believe that I would take great pleasure in telling some people the truth about themselves. Graphically. In words of one grunt so they'd at least be able to appreciate the full savour of the insult (although, frankly, a few people I'd be aiming to insult would still be, like, a good few feet below that level of comprehension).
Then the next day, I could either do it all again using different insults or just plain spend the time smiling at irate people until they went ballistic and exploded.
Best evar insult heard in the office:
"Have you considered work as a doorstop?"
"Er, you mean a doorman?"
"No..."

'Borrow' a car, drive to the airport, fly to the united states, go to the Wizards of the Coast building, ask for Doug Beyer and Mark Rosewater, yell "I CAME ALL THE WAY FROM EUROPE JUST TO DO THIS" and punch them square in the face/kick them in the groin.
