The team is coming up with some very exciting stuff later this month dubbed Esoko 2.0 and have been working round the clock to birth the release. Everyone has been working really really hard and it honestly gets scary at times when team members "go crazy". Some burst into spontaneous singing of songs that belong to no recording artists. Others, after coding nonstop for about 5 hours raise their heads only to ask the rest of us why the heck they got into programming. Just when we think we've seen enough madness, other team members tell us of their traveling experiences to countries they have never been to. Amazing!! Sorry... scary!!
I don't know who gave the order but it came as very pleasant news when we were informed of a company-wide day out to just go chillaxing at the Bojo beach. A nice place those Bojo folks have.
The excitement at the venue was so intense you could cut through it like a cake. We first had to cross over in a boat to the beach area. I had my noise-cancellation Bose headphones on but I could still hear the heartbeats of boys trying to stay tough all through the very wobbly ride. "Eh what if we all fall in this river?" one girl retorted. Just then I saw this guy grabbing a life jacket.
Believe it or not we sailed over safely. He let go of the life jacket. We disembarked the boat. Everyone was thankfully in one piece. Click click. More poses for the camera. Click.
If this were a church picnic there'll be a program lineup with opening prayer debuting on the list. A few songs maybe, followed by some words of encouragement from a deacon, a much needed offertory to cushion the transport costs etc. No no no not here ... before I could blink these guys had gone wild already climbing each other crab-style. Don't ask me how they did it. I guess that's what we call team building? Just see the excitement on their faces. If you have vision 20/20 like me you can, if you strain a bit, see the stress running towards the beach.
There were lots to eat. Lots of sea to swim :). Lots of games to play (not the play stations and x-boxes). We saw some interesting dance moves.
People run around a lot. Some for the wrong reasons ...
...others for the right reasons.
The next two pictures.. My favorites... This stress had to go away at all cost before Monday morning. Anyway possible.
You know in an office setting there is always some struggle for power right?... We even took that to the beach. I just had to put this guy's hand down.
The day out was loads of fun. Everyone was fun to be with. We crowdsourced 730 pictures in total. Well that's just counting those that were tendered in. Some iPads and iThisandThat are still hiding a number of pics. In my opinion the day out with my extended family was very much worth it. You know what they say about all work and no play... Even Swabera agrees with me.
