Group Bonding.Follow

Had the day off work today to partake in some Group Bonding with my fellow sailors.

Not that sort of bonding you filthy b*stards. I know you where thinking it so don't even try and deny it.

Anyways, we spend the day at a paintball range, happily blasting the living sh*t out of each other and generally enjoying shooting our bosses at as close a range as possible.

the most amusing moment came after i was taken out after a Kamakazi style raid on an opposition stong point (took two out but thier was 5 of the buggers and they proceeded to paint me white right afterwards.)

I was walking back with the two i shot when we spotted one of my team lay right at the far end not even holding his gun, so all three of us unloaded on him, lazy bast*rd.

We got an award at the end for our brave and heroic act

What sort of company lead stuff do you guys get upto?

I wish the group I worked with was half as cool. I work IT for the City of LA. I guess you can classify the people I work with as boring and lacking in athletic talent. Karaoke is the wildest thing I have done with my coworkers.

That being said karaoke is actually quite fun with a bunch of drunk Asians in Chinatown.

Thank God, none. It used to be a regular sorority.

Company lingerie pillow-fights?

Nothing much here. We have a summer picnic and a winter Christmas party.

We're supposed to regularly visit a Country House type place and sort out massive financial deficits and unacceptable Cancer rates by writing on Flip Charts, Post-It notes and undertaking 'ice-breaking' exercises. FFS!

I usually turn up, sign in, go to the bar and get some work done, or f[/i]uck off down the Pub until they've finished twatting about.

That's in work-time though. My many years on this shi[i]tty little planet of yours have taught me that socialising with co-workers outside of work always ends in tears for someone.

Different for people who work and live together (E.g. Military, rig-workers etc.) I know, but office parties or paintballing weekends always spill over into Monday Morning one way or the other.

Truck rodeo! 18 wheels, a measuring tape, and a rubber ducky.

There is food, fun, prizes, bragging rights, and a whole lot of showing off.

The winners of these events get to compete on a national level. I look forward to it every year.
