Office Olympics

Four weeks out of the year, our building holds a 'social week'. Angie was actually the founder of this great idea last year when she was head of the social committee for our building :) Anyways. This week's theme is 'Office Olympics'. We started the week off by having office chair races in our big conference room in the basement. I wish I had pictures, but one person sat on the chair and the other was blindfolded and had to listen to their partner try and tell them where to go, in circles, around obstacles, really fast, slow down, to the right..etc. It was pretty funny.

Tuesday was Olympic Trivia...which our team did terrible at. Questions like, when was the first Olympics, how often did they have them, what was the first Olympic city, etc. So not a history buff.



Yesterday was a Rock, Paper, Scissors competition. I lost in the first round, but Angie and Matt made it to the final rounds, and Ang took second place! (she also took 3rd place (I think) in Mankato's city wide competition last year...performed at the civic center...no lie)

Ang in the final round...Carynn, the opponent beat out Matt and Ang. She was intense. We're hoping Matt doesn't have to fence against her today. Yes, fence. More on that below.

Ang is going to kill me that I didn't crop her head out of this picture, as she didn't know her head was in the photo, and she threatened to post bad pictures of me on her blog...but, I didn't have the time to crop it this morning :) Hard to see in the photos, but her hands were BRIGHT red. And that's Matt in the background. Built to fence.

The employees and their families also get to go to a Moon Dogs baseball game, and get to participate in all of the events, first pitch, race with Mutnik, pie eating contest, and the favorite...the dizzy bat spin. Check out the video below to see Shanna, one of our building's copywriters get dizzy :)

Ok, having a little technical difficulty adding the video. Will add later. It's funny.

Today is Post-It Note Fencing. Yes, fencing. I'm not sure what it all entails yet, but we have Matt, our long armed, long legged teammate signed up. Something about wearing a garbage bag and trying to stick as many post its on your opponent? Ha, can't wait. Will definitely have pictures to share.

And, maybe you just don't think this is as fun/funny as we do. It's sure a nice break to the normal grind!
