Work can be fun too!

I had the most fun time at work today. Strolled in to work around 11am, learnt that we were supposed to go for a farewell lunch for one of our colleagues. Didn't get much accomplished in the first half as everyone seemed to be in this unusually cheerful Friday mood. Black or green over denims was the order of the day.

We left for lunch around 12.30pm & headed for Phoenix Mills. At lunch, a colleague came up with the BRILLIANT idea of playing a game where we spin a pencil & everyone gets to ask a question to whoever the pencil points at on stopping. The first round was quite tame as no one knew how far to go & where to draw the line. But the subsequent rounds were hilarious, especially the questions aimed at certain people.

By the time we finished our lunch, three people were still remaining who hadn't been asked any questions so we decided to continue the game in office. We got back to office around 3pm but obviously, no one was in the mood to work. People were still laughing at the questions that had been asked during lunch. Come 5pm & we all headed for the conference room to complete the game (only if the same kind of enthusiasm could be seen when people head to the conference room for team meetings!)

My favorite question was one of the guys asking his reportee (who apparently messes up at work all the time): "How do you do it?". The reportee obviously didn't understand what the question meant & he went on to explain "I take it out...I put it where it should go in...and then there is circular motion and to & fro motion". We were about to fall off our chairs laughing. We just didn't know where to stop!

I haven't had so much fun at work in a very long time...
