Since a business can’t very well promote drinking on a Monday night, PlattForm celebrated St. Platty’s Day today. The company brought in a can of beer for every employee and we all designed flags, played games, and slacked off from 3:00 on. (PlattForm celebrates holidays in style.) This is awesome for three reasons:

1. Because of the beer and games, you’re a star employee if you get any work done.
2. Because no one is working, you actually can get work done.
3. Because you have time to get work done, you have time to go into the SEO office and jam on their guitars and congas.

Our flag consisted of a Star Wars poster with various managers’ faces pasted over the lead characters. (Guess who designed it.) We had Brian on Princess Leia, Rebecca on Luke Skywalker, and Pete on C3-PO. We also replaced Luke’s lightsaber (which he is holding up in the air) with a large knife with a cartoon snake wrapped around it. Also, we replaced the words “Star Wars” with our team name: “The Rotten Eggs.” I’ll try to get send a copy of it to myself and post it here.

Our game consisted of carrying eggs on a spoon across a grassy knoll. There wasn’t quite enough beer involved to make this interesting. Other games included Post-It fencing, paper airplane throwing, and Riverdance. We also had people in remote offices send in videos of them re-enacting the games in their remote locations. (We didn’t ask for this kind of slackery—it was freely offered.)

Yikes! Got to get to sleep. Good night, folks!
