Having fun at work
Sometimes I wonder if I work in an office full of children or if we’re all adults. I’m including myself in this. We just cut up and act up so bad some days. We have 3 teams that work together and each team has a main cut-up.
Some of the things we do:
1. We have a bag of candy that sits on one of my coworkers desk. Everyone is allowed to take his candy. Every 3 or 4 days someone else brings in a new candy for everyone. The guy who’s desk the candy sits on always says the same thing “I can’t believe this many adults like candy!”.
2. We have food fests at least once a month. One month it was because it was the start of Winter. Everyone brings in a dish or supplies for the party. As one of the non-cookers, I always bring paper plates, cups and napkins.
3. We recite television shows or cartoons (especially South Park or Family Guy) to each other. Today it was Sesame Street and I was The Count.
4. We act like we’re in one of those wine clubs or something. Everytime someone opens a soda or can of juice, me and my one coworker Walter shout “Cocktail”.
5. If somebody says something that sounds similar to a song, we’ll start singing it. Right now everybody bursts into “Apple Bottom jeans, boots with the fur.” We all love that song.
There’s so much other stuff that we do that’s it’s ridiculous. Half of it would have us in HR if the right person heard us. Do you think that stops us?!?! Ummm nope. We usually just whisper whatever we have to say. Then laugh and keep going. I think it’s great that we all get along so well. I’m really going to miss working in this building.
