Under the Red flag

There's been many things in history that work in theory, but don't quite pan out. For instance, communism. Yep, that one definitely didn't quite work. Stallism, nope. Flying cars, well sort of, but not quite. And, in-office-fun day.

Yep, It's fun day. You know what that means.

There will be cupcakes (I hate cupcakes). There will be games a varying length and interest. There might not be any booze--DAMMIT. Several members of the group will enthusiastically lead us into what could potentially be hours of time spent not doing better things. And no, we don't have a Micheal Scott or a fire pit. At least one of us will disappear into a laptop, never being seen again for the day, and will inevitably be the winner in my eyes. With that said, we'll all hail the red flag today, not accomplish much work, and pretend to enjoy ourselves.

Note to self, influence fun day decision maker next quarter with at least one of the following ideas:

1) Find the Frosh - just like in Dayzed and Confused, we'd get Matthew McConaughey to dawn some facial hair and a stoner's accent and chase the junior staff around the office for a good hour, only to end in his embarrasment.

2) In-office-paint ball - This one speaks for itself. It would be sweet. Minutes of heart-pounding, adrenaline-pumping, non-stop-action. Plus we'd leave awesome battle scars of paint all over the office for days to help us remember this most-excellent fun day.

3) Superdrunk punk rock fun day - Every one would be required to take one shot of tequila for every 20 pounds that they weigh. Then we'd go down to the local punk rock club and circle-pit the day away.

4) Double Dare - Slime, a large hamster wheel, and endless obsticle courses setup throughout the office. Word!
