So our annual company picnic was held the other week. I usually don't go to these things but this year being so close to the Olympics, they decided to make the theme Inter-departmental Olympics . And you know how I am with competition. Needless to say we dominated and took the trophy and a free lunch for the department. Here's a few more pics from the event...
Each department created their own banner...
Apparently I can hulahoop (for a whole 13 seconds)...and took that event
This is the do-over race because some team cheated and I pulled my "what kind of message are we sending to the kids" speech...we were able to go from 3rd to 2nd place from it.
They also tried to pull a fast one on us at the very end...My dept. was up by 10 and all the events that were listed were done. But somebody decided to take the top 2 teams and make a surprise final event worth 11 points...after a little rant..I said ok fine...the game was ring toss...different distances were worth different points from 1 point to 10 points...I made the other team go first because we were already up by 10 points...they all tried to go for the high scoring areas and only ended up with 5 points...the teams consisted of 6 people...so I was like everybody to the 1 point section...I'll go last...Everybody makes it with ease...so I'm the last to go everybody is yelling pressure...don't miss...etc. I play the part...make it all dramatic...biting my nails..pretend to wipe my sweat off my palms....drop it over the bucket..immediately walk over to the trophy...snatch it and yell out "give us our trophy!"
