Ah, the corporate life. Today I would like to explore my experience at the “Finance Department Picnic”! It’s an amazing event, as the name proclaims. Normally this would be something one would hate-drop and consider endless making-fun-of worthiness. I’m here to let you all know: this was a KICK ASS event.

Ah, the corporate life. Today I would like to explore my experience at the “Finance Department Picnic”! It’s an amazing event, as the name proclaims. Normally this would be something one would hate-drop and consider endless making-fun-of worthiness. I’m here to let you all know: this was a kick ass event.

Back to the picnic. First of all, it was a picnic! How sweet is that? Don’t believe me? Check out my pics showing just how out of control it was!

Limbo? We had it. Tickets to raffle off corporate schwag? We had it. Yogi Bear? No, but there was a fat guy stealing cookies. Hawaiian shirts galore? OH yeah. I felt out of place because I forgot mine. The privilege of listening to the almighty CFO talk about…well I didn’t pay attention to that part…but we had it! If that wasn’t enough, we capped off our enjoyable, vegetarian-friendly meal with softball, water balloon toss and, be ready, KARAOKE! (who knew we had a karaoke club?)

That’s right. Kare. A. O. Kay. I forced myself to leave after one of our seniors busted out so many James Brown kicks, moves, and “owww!’s” to make me want to put on some tight pants and join his sexy swingin stage dancers. Sadly, I wouldn’t have joined in the post-show orgy- I had a meeting.

*This is just the first of a series of pieces dedicated to the corporate life. The life of cubicles and casual Fridays. An exploration of office culture fact or cliche. Office Space or Wall Street. Be read- you’re going on a rollercoaster ride to the Vice President’s conference room.*
