team building update

Back in May, my coworkers made the split-second decision to make a group viewing of Mad Max: Fury Road our next team building activity. It was supposed to happen on May 22nd.

For a variety of reasons, it didn’t. (This is how team building was explained to me: it’s optional, but if one person can’t go, the event gets rescheduled. So, it’s not really optional. Alternately, the key is to SAY you’re going, and act SUPER excited about going, and then get “sick” at the last minute.)

And in a classic example of trying to schedule a group of people to do anything, it has somehow gotten pushed back to June 26th. At first I was all ‘do we really think this movie is still going to be in theaters at a convenient time so far after its release, and in the middle of summer blockbuster season?’

But then I realized that if we were for any reason unable to see Fury Road, the default replacement would probably be Jurassic World. So, two movies that I’m not highly invested in seeing, but wouldn’t mind seeing either of them. (Raptor Squad!? What?) With the added benefit of pushing team building to the end of quarter two, which means that with a little luck we may only do three team building events this year instead of four.

(Not that I don’t love team building…)
