My office is in a residential neighborhood in a building that used to be a convent which means we have rather a lot of oddities including a decent sized backyard. One of my coworkers decided that with the constant money problems the organization has been having (hey! we made payroll this month! whoopie! And a whole month without anyone resigning! Double whoopie!) we haven’t been having anywhere near enough fun so she went out and bought a Frisbee®.
She sent a note around just to the folks who were in the office today, 15 minutes of tossing the plastic disc around at 3pm. Only two of us took her up on the offer but it was the most fun I’ve had in months. Easy and relaxing even though I totally suck at it (note to self: remember to look where you want the frisbee to go before you throw it).
Funny thing is that I’ve always found situations like that the antithesis of relaxing. I never know how to act and am always afraid that there’s some big joke no one is letting me in on.
I guess everything is relative.
Next week: juggling!
