I wonders whose job it is to come up with the names of No Frill Cereals? Do they get paid a lot for thinking up blantant rip offs such as Coo-Coo Os or Capt'n Munch? And are they hiring? Better yet, are no frill cereals and name-brand cereals made in the same factory. Because these no frill frosted flakes taste exactly the same but $1 and a half less.
So my boss decided that we needed a staff fun day. YEAH? – and that’s a bit of sarcasm if you didn’t pick it up.
Initially, she wanted us to do a team building exercise. We are a small staff of five, confined to even smaller spaces and a few of us weren’t getting along very well - actually my boss’s concerns about my “moodiness” and complaints of having to do actual work, may have something to do with that.Our boss, let’s call her Megan for the sake of job security, felt it best that we work together on some sort of project to improve relations.I wanted to go to the movies but she had other ideas.
Her original plan was for us to do a white water boat excursion where we would work together to paddle a raft up the river. And then afterwards we would hold hands and sing an acapella version of Kumbaya by the camp fire. Ok, that part I made up but she did think paddle boating would be fun. We vetoed that instantly. Actually, I was the lead opposition to this idea and quickly devised a plan to get my other coworkers to co-sign.I filled their minds with horrible thoughts and images of the boat hitting a rock, flipping over and us drowning to our deaths. Better yet, the boat hitting a rock, flipping over and us ladies getting our hair wet. It was the hair trick that worked.
