Edelman has a monthly thing where the last Friday of the month is Fun Friday so usually there is a theme and people dress up (or try to) according to that theme. So last Friday was the last Friday of June and I was privileged enough to be part of the fun – it started with having to dress up as cartoon characters and I was greeted in the morning with balloons hung around the office.

Mid-morning we were made to surrender all our chairs because we were to play musical chairs in the office, and I thought that was the end of ‘Fun Friday’ but no, an hour after the musical chairs madness we were all made to go outside to play catching. I am very thankful for my colleagues who are so ever sporting and even the more mature (ahem) colleagues were a good sport and they played along, and I want to remind myself that when I am 50 and old I will still partake in these little activities and not stand around like a snob. REMINDER TO SELF.

Lunch followed and it was the best catered lunch I’ve had here – a burger AND a personal pizza from Domino’s, and then followed by yet another game. So at 5.30 I was just getting ready to you know, pack up and go home and then there was a cake cutting ceremony to celebrate all the June babies’ (read: free cake) and there were Breezers and Budweisers brought in, so it really was a lot of fun and the office just turned into this cool place and people didn’t really wanna go home.  

When I start my own company, I will have Fun Fridays. I think it keeps employees sane. 

I wanted to post pictures but I can't seem to find them :/
