I think any team building exercise, boat or not, is a bad idea but there you go. |

I wonder if there is any research as to whether they actually help teams work better? My guess : No. Give each person their share of the budget and then all go home early. |

Don't do some of the shite we've had to endure like "learning circus skills" or "buying ingredients for luxury sweets and then doing a sales pitch". No matter what you pick though, someone will be unhappy. Miserable gits. |

The Rising sun. £4 for a pint of the stuff. Or £2.70 for Orange and soda. That's some bizarrely expensive lemonade. |

I'm of course most sad to be missing the vegetarian option breakfast provided by the work canteen (a hash brown). Cocktails are going to be served at the arrival at the venue at 10:30am. I am missing the obvious carnage that will follow. Chloe ate my hash brown for me. Then managed to lock my computer by repeatedly banging in the wrong password.

I've just had an incoherent message from Chloe that I think says something along the lines of her drinking my quota of alcohol and that she's doing it for the both of us. She seems to be enjoying herself either way, so I assume this will go down as a hit. I, on the other hand, have just had a dandelion and burdock, some popcorn and a cheese triangle. And I'm still wearing my raccoon pyjamas. |
