Okay, so I went on one of these team building things yesterday, in preparation for my new job. This took the form of a treasure hunt round London - getting photographs of your team (complete with a nodding dog) next to various landmarks across the beloved capital. This was actually quite fun, although with a great sense of timing, we did this on the hottest day of the year, just after all the schools had packed up for summer and the Tube was jammed. I also got to witness the rather bizarre spectacle of my new manager somehow fitting their entire head inside a condom and then inflating it. The condom, not their head, I hasten to add… Then in the pub (where else?) afterwards, I got chatting to some of the people, who only went on the same Macromedia seminars on Flash and ColdFusion that I did a few months ago, and we debated the pros and cons of Flash and Dreamweaver ad nauseum. Judging by the blisters on my feet though, I think next time I want to get anywhere in London I’ll just take a cab. 🙂 ---

That’s funny! Good luck with your new job. You sure do have strange ways over there of joining a new job haha. Cheers! Kirupa :asian: ---

I think it’s the famous British sense of humour. Has anyone else ever been on these type of days with work??? ---

Yes, they are always fun. Our training department calls them “Days of Continuous Learning”… Jokingly, we have an alternate name: “Days of Continuous Wasted Time”. But, as I said, they are fun, and do have their uses. Example: photos of your boss with an inflated condom on his head. PRICELESS!! 🙂 Karen
