I was a little disappointed at the anticlimactic event that was our company picnic/Olympics. With Olympic events that included a rubberband shooting contest, coffee cup relay (complete with "tagging off" by dumping coffee in the next person’s cup), and task chair rowing (where six people roll their task chairs about 50 yards across the parking lot as a group)—the recipe for disaster was so delicious I could almost taste it.

I mean, the last time we had this so-called morale building event, one person ended up at the emergency room for cracking their head during the task chair fiasco, while another one was out for the count … so at the VERY least, someone should have snapped themselves in the eye with a rubberband.

But instead? Nothing.

I cheered on those that enjoy these types of humiliating events/those that were guilted into participating. We had BBQ chicken and rolls (sans dessert—the key missing ingredient to the day). We got out of over two hours of work and got to wear casual clothes to work for the first work day in two years.

DANG IT. Maybe I’ll have a better story next year.

But for now ... pictures:
