Office Olympics

I don't know how I end up doing these things (probably a combination of sheer dumb luck and not saying no very often) but I've just got back from an afternoon competing in the Office Olympics in the mini-ampitheatre at Broadgate Circus.



It was organised by a charity called Richard House - they're the chosen charity for 2008 for a company I work for. Events included:

• The Floppy Discus. Spinning round on an office chair and chucking floppy disks in a bin.


• Post-it Fencing. Stick Post-it notes on your opponent before they to it to you.


• Recycling Rowing Relay. Bucket-brigading sheets of used paper down a lengthways line of rowing machines.


• Office Chair Relay. Running round the arena with an office chair.

All under the watchful, curious, yet somehow disdaining eye of the early-afternoon pub-goers.

Still, I got a medal and we had an ice cream afterwards. It was like school sports day all over again...
