So, it's that time again at work. More team building crap that I can't stand. We were informed recently that for two weeks, last week and this week, it is Team Appreciation time and the powers that be have decided to "appreciate" us with the sum of $10 each, in which to buy us food, or pointless crap. So, we have decided to go out to dinner, but of course we have to pay for our own booze. And, it also means giving up my free time to hang out with people that I can't stand for the most part anyway.
But, the big news is how we are celebrating the team togetherness shit. We had to endure a photo session today, one as a group and then each of us individually. Which. I. Can't. Stand. And, with the group photo, my boss is going to have it made into a jigsaw puzzle. Then we are going to put it together, and then frame it, and then hang it up. There are no words for how stupidly symbolic and utterly lame this venture is. And, we were all supposed to think this was a brilliant way to build team spirit. Right. It is beyond me how people can buy into this crap. Decide that this shit is actually important, and that a puzzle of us actually means something. People who create team building exercises, and those who delight in them need to die. Right now. They are now and always on the ever growing list of people I love to hate.
