The End of Winter Office Olympic Games

Wednesday, March 3, 2010 - 
It is true.  All good things must come to end when speaking of the Office Olympics (and of course, the real Olympic games!)  But not without the effort of one final event and a closing ceremony.

Doortending
My version of hockey.  More of a sudden death shoot out.  Offletes shot a ball (it was a soft & squishy ball from a vendor of ours...remember, office equipment only!) to make a goal through the doors of the Conference Place.  And of course, this "goal" is being tended by another Offlete.

JM can't handle TW's skills.


The stick?  It is made out of a broom with cardboard to stabilize.

 Shot in action!

Each Offlete had one attempt from each line (there were three total,) which had a point value - ranging one to three.

TW takes a dive to save a goal (though, I believe she missed this one...)

Closing Ceremony
The closing ceremony (which to me, is the most dull out of all the Office Olympics) took place in the Conference Place.  Chants were sung, flags were paraded (with no affiliation, of course) and the medals were given out.  And yes, the torch was extinguished.

WPV took gold, and they were ecstatic!  

The medals?  Made out of cardboard and construction paper of course.  And ribbons...I mean, who doesn't have ribbons just laying around the office?!
 All the offletes and their medal.

Successful Office Olympics?  I would say so.  Here is to 2012 and the return of the Summer Office Olympic Games - our version of London should be quite grand.  How about your work place?  Does your office get to participate in office debauchery like this?

Office Olympics: Winter Games Part III

Tuesday, February 23, 2010 - 
There is a time when one event deserves a post all to itself.  

Today is that day my friends.

Couple Ribbon Dancing

My version of couple figure skating (or ice dancing, really, whatever you prefer) was received perfectly by the staff.  I have to admit, I thought I would be the only one excited.  But staff proved to be entertaining all on their own.  I think photos will describe this much better than words...

 
The judges table

Final Score: 7.8
Barbie doll love for sure (this is off the video...)

 
Final Score: 8
Glittery red, they chicken danced themselves for over a minute.

 
Final Score: 8.3  
There are SO many great photos from their session (my fave is not listed) 
but I chose to show one with both offletes.

 
Final Score: 8.4
I give them the best costume...think "Gold Digger" for song selection.

 
Gold Medal with a final score of 9 
TW was a swan, let me tell you...

Special thanks to Cubes for her fantastic photo skills.  
Documentation of the Office Olympics wouldn't happen without her.

Next up: doortending & the closing ceremony.
