poe62 0 #1 August 7, 2008 My company put us on teams and is forcing us to play games like chair rowing and rubber band archery. I have never been one to play games like this...I'm not five years old. This sort of thing makes me feel dumb. Then I went to look at the team I was on for it. At the top, next to the Captain space, MY NAME! WHAT THE HECK?! I've been designated as the person who makes up the country and a flag...along with other responsibilities that will take away from my REAL WORK. Who wants to fill in for me for the next two weeks while we're forced into team building fun? I'm going to crawl into a hole and hide this thing out...~Nikki http://www.facebook.com/poe62 Irgity Dirgity Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wow . . . somone needs to follow the proper procedures here. 1) Bend over 2) Grab Corn Cobb 3) Exert great force, possibly removing said corn cobb 4) If you pushed, then try pulling it this time.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bwilling 0 #6 August 7, 2008 Quote I'm going to crawl into a hole and hide this thing out... Don't hide from it, embrace it! It's an opportunity! Your chance to really shine, to take the bull by the horns, and lead your team to victory! It's not about the silly games, it's about the effort, and as long as you keep that in mind and put forth some effort, you'll come out of the exercise looking like you give a crap to your employers. And it's always better to look like you give a crap, even if you don't. "If all you ever do is all you ever did, then all you'll ever get is all you ever got."

poe62 0 #8 August 7, 2008 You're very right, Bwilling! My boss offered to make a target for the archery competition of our loathed coordinator for me to shoot.

poe62 0 #19 December 22, 2008 They were canceled two days after they started because of lack of interest and other factors. We did just have a mandatory gingerbread train competition that was a lot of fun. When you challenge the creative department at an advertising company to do something like that, you get some insane projects.~Nikki http://www.facebook.com/poe62 Irgity Dirgity Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
