I hate golf. Why, God, why? To me, the word golf is synonymous with 'boredom', 'barf', 'burn', 'bad', and 'ginormous waste of time'. I don't care if other people like it; good for them. It's not something I'd partake in voluntarily. Mini-golf, though, I enjoy. :o)
Twiggy's vacation being scheduled on the day of the annual golf outing (barf), we had to scramble a bit as to who was going to cover the phones while everyone's gone. Napoleon stubbornly refuses to just hire a temp. Usually, Twiggy and I switch off; I go one year, she goes the next. Gladly. Neither one of us is a golfer and wouldn't be caught dead golfing in our spare time. Do you know how expensive a hobby golfing is?
I used to bring my laptop and watch movies all day. Chatting with Mr. Wrong was also bountiful fun. Much more fun than having the sun sneak a little sunburn onto my skin. I had no idea I was getting burned; it just showed up later.
Oh well, should be fun to watch the sales guys get soused and then see Napoleon sprout gray hairs because he's afraid someone might get a little *too* drunk. If only I could put a link in here to the story of Adminizilla's booze-slicked exit from our department…then you'd understand why. Just search the blog for Adminzilla.
I heard Twiggy telling someone this morning that Napoleon is loading his foursome up with "A" list golfers. He's determined to win. The office golf tournament. We might just be seeing a competitive spirit that is out of control here. Hmmmm...

Well…I didn’t want to say it! But I hope you enjoy the day and plan on playing mini golf in the afternoon if they do that. It’s great fun and a no-pressure way to spend some fun time with other staff members.
