Old school lunch.

Rollin’ Old School Lunch

Today’s staff meeting required that you bring a sack lunch. Seriously, we all gathered in the conference room with our sack lunches, Kevin had “hot” lunch because he’s all upper-class. The rest of us peons all dumped our lunches on the table.

I had a PB -n- J, chips that I ate earlier - leaving me with less food (Deja-Vu from Elementary School.) and a Pudding Cup. If I only had a fruit roll-up it would have been perfect.

So, we really didn’t get much done except debate the merits of how all women are crazy and the true path to happiness is really just finding that one person who is less crazy than the rest and you can both live with each other’s neurosis’[sp?].

Have you guessed that our company is pretty much all men?

So, after 40 minutes of chit-chat we suddenly crystalized an idea in the last 5 minutes for a very cool, very suave, million-dollar making, viral web marketing game on par with MySpace-type junk you see all the time.

Ok, maybe we’re exagerating about it being suave..but that’s about it.

The point is.. you can force brainstorming all you want. You can have deadlines and chase after other people’s ideas all the time.

But sometimes, just sometimes if you relax and sit with friends .. and “chat” you can come up with all sorts of good, positive things.

No one in that board room was jockeying for position.

No one was playing stupid office political games with each other.

No one covets or is dibilitatingly envious of one another.

Is it any wonder why I am completely unemployable in a corporate environment anymore?

I am so damn proud of the people I work with.
