We have a meeting today as part of the bringing together of the different teams, as one of the outputs from a previous session was that they wanted more FUN at work. Agreed, work should be enjoyable, and I am great believer in having a laugh etc at work, and I have noticed that some of the people here literally sit at their laptops all day with headphones on, not appearing to have FUN at all. That would drive me insane, and I hope that we can change that.
Looking round the table during the FUN meeting, I also notice several people didn’t really appear to be having too much of it: these things are always a bit difficult, but overall it was a good meeting, and it got better towards the end when we watched some videos of people crashing cars followed by a discussion about an outing that we could all do together, e.g. water rafting, rock climbing, hill walking or kite flying, which would be cool. All eyes on me to provide the budget for it though, which was not FUN.
At the end of the FUN meeting one of the guys handed out some snacks on barbeque sticks: sticky dried squid. I took one (half came off in the bag, which was actually not a problem as they absolutely stank and were repulsive). I am pretty adventurous with food I think, but these were horrible and incredibly fishy smelling, which I could taste for the rest of the day whenever I burped.
That was not FUN, either.
