Do you guys do anything fun or silly at work? We have a game we have been doing for several months. A little plastic toy that looks like a dog toy appeared from somewhere. It resembles one of our docs, short and round. We named it his first name and are playing where's (Joe). It is hidden somewhere in the department and the next person to find it gets to hide it. Sometimes it takes a week or more to locate Joe. When I hid him it was 10 days before he was located. It's silly but it helps make the day a little more cheerful.

We do not do fun things as described by others at work. So many people take offense to everything. Holy butthurt, Batman! We have policies in place for everything, so one has to be careful what to say or do so as not to offend their co-workers. I go to work to work; not socialize, have fun and play games. I mean, oh the horror we should have fun while working!

I did a weekly trivia contest based on movies, books and current events.
We often had "races".
We did a "guess that baby" board. Our baby pictures were put up and we guessed who they were.
I did a lot of morale boosting activities.
We had a juke box, so when we were not busy we would go pick music and sing and act silly sometimes.
When I was in the sample company, if I was the glue person, I'd draw pictures sometimes. Or put a rubber frog on the board and send it down.
Cold glue was easy to play with.
Hot glue, not so much.

We joke around all the time. Ohmygooooosssshhh, there was a name I had to pronounce today, and I'm not lying, when I said it it sounded like "my dick's burned". I about died laughing, told my boss the guy needed some ointment! He cracked up. Poor guy has to work with a place full of women.

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.
I found him on a cabinet that houses spill kits and other odds and ends. I stuffed him inside a large tape roll and added string and he's happily swinging from the ceiling in the equipment room.
We have some fun at work. I like your little game, SB. It makes things a little more fun and I think a little levity helps build work relationships too.
