I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh god, they're talking about a team summit where our global team would meet up. 4 days, probably 8-6 each day. Those would be...long days.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

4 days, probably 8-6 each day

A WORLD OF NO. When asked to suggest team-building activities for my group, mine was "Everyone leave early and engage in private self-reflection in their own home."

Theo, hope all goes smoothly for your friend.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

And for lunch, we can do something fun! Like a lunch and learn!

Lol!

I have a huge case of don't wanna today. No particular reason. Just...meh. I should really drink my coffee, yeah?

I'm avoiding a call with my coworker so I can watch the end of Hoarders. So you're still ahead of me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, that's going to be a hard no from me.

Because books.

Congratulations on the job offer, husband of Dana (and Dana)! Less congratulations on the possible global team summit. ::shudders::

It's my day off, and I have a thousand things to do, but I'm sitting here wrestling with making a playlist in the VLC media player because I'm also waiting for the mechanic to call about the car (which popped a ball joint and made the tire sort of fall off yesterday). Mostly waiting to hear how much $$ it's going to be. Someone hold me.

Who are the people who actually think team-building exercises improve employee morale and productivity? I've never heard of anyone on the receiving end who didn't dread them.

Our wings are not tired.

I hope the carfix is easier than anticipated.

Apparently team-building was something that happened after I left the corporate world. Here team building is more like deciding to take a break and go out to lunch or watch some tv.

They probably saw something tyhe Japanese were doing and decided to give it an American *twist*! Said with the perky head tilt and grin familiar from commercials.
