It was hard being away from Tim most of the weekend but I managed thanks to the great invention of the mobile phone.
The LASER Corp. team building weekend away was interesting. I haven’t worked for a company that’s had a team building weekend away and no one I know has ever been to one. We arrived at the farm round 11am and after the welcome we had morning tea (scones, coffee & tea) and then kicked off with our team presentations. All the presentations were completed by 3pm and shortly after we were taken to another part of the farm where we had damper, toasted marshmallows and billy tea. Dinner was steak, mash potatoes and vegetables followed by bush dancing. There was also a bit of excitement during the night when an old style air conditioner/heater unit caught fire and set off the smoke alarm in the room that Dina & Sabrina were in. Carla and I were the only other ladies that heard the alarm and went to investigate. Lucky the small fire was put out before it could do much damage.
We had been allocated to mixed departmental teams before the conference for Sunday’s activities with my team calling ourselves the Mighty Ducks. Our first activity for the Sunday morning was visiting the animals, feeding some of them and milking a cow. Next we did some whip cracking and boomerang throwing and then we moved on to another field where we did tug-of-war and archery. I was the only person in my team to score in archery. The conference concluded with a BBQ lunch of steak & sausages, potato wedges and salads.
The weekend was a little better than what I thought it would be but I was still very glad to get home to Tim. I was also glad I got home in time for a bit of a rest before going to church music practice.
