Good Times......
I work for a well established retail company in the mysterious depths of the stockroom....oh the fun we have!
The favourite game on quiet days is hide and seek. So many different places to hide in a stockroom, a game can last for hours!
During the hot summer months, we frequently prop the fire escape door open and sunbathe on the balcony at the top of the stairs...cue launching various projectiles off into the loading bay below. Similarly, we took the safety guard off a fan and launched pens/bottles/whatever we had to hand at it.
The more creative members of my team once made a cardboard man, named Old Gregg McLovin. We regularly leave notes and/or graffiti for other team members to find.
Then there's the play fights involving sellotape, sweeping brushes, chairs. And the full scale duvet/pillow fights...(they hurt so much more when they're vacuum packed!)
Then there's the numerous games of makeshift basketball/football/cricket.
The pranks....oh the pranks...usually poking holes in people's drinking bottles, or chopping off the bottom of straw's when people have cups of soft drinks....always amusing!
And to top it all off, working with complete nutcases has it's advantages, like dressing up days.....see videos below.....

» Family codes and rituals
Back in the day
when my siblings and I were but wee little tykes, my Grandparents would come to visit every Friday bringing with them a bag of strawberry liquorice laces which we would have to divide up between the 5 of us, along with £1.25 pocket money, which would equate to 25p each. I can't even begin to explain how excited we all got....oh the small things in life!! If only my problems today could be solved with some liquorice and 25p!
A ritual that is still standing today is that on Christmas morning, we're not allowed to open any presents until the whole family is up, showered and dressed and gathered in the living room. This began when we were little, mother knew all to well that if we opened them as soon as we awoke, we'd be too distracted to go and get dressed etc! It was also a nifty way of getting us to help out with tidying up and preparing dinner..."the sooner everything's sorted, the sooner you can have your presents!"
