Fun at Work

As you've probably heard me say before, my job is fun! I think Marketing in general is a fun career, my job itself is fun for me because its challenging and rewarding, I love that I get to be analytical AND creative, and working with sales people always leads to fun activities now and then. Most recently, the fun that I had was this past week during our semi-annual sales meeting.

Sales meetings usually involve "team building" events where Sales, Marketing, and a few others get together to do a fun activity. At my company's last sales meeting this past week,our team building event was a  phto scavenger hunt around Seaport Village put on by Best Team Building. We broke up into four teams of five, and had two hours to take 40 photos from a list of 100 choices. The photo challenges varied in point value from 50 to 400 points, and each team had to strategically decide which photos they could take in the allotted time. Here are some of my favorite photos from the event and their corresponding clues.

 What are the chances that all three of us chose the same store for the headstand photo?? Too funny. 

At the end of the two hours my team only managed to take 32 of the 40 allowed pictures. I think we wasted a lot of time trying to take the photos literally as the clue required. (Example: a photo of us spitting water into the fountain versus posing next to it.) We ended up coming in 3rd place out of the four teams. Oh well, there's always next time!
