Team Building Exercises/Pranks

We came
We went
We conquered...

Unfortunately throughout Officer training, all the times I had the opportunity to do team building games/exercises I was either working or ill. So I never really got the chance to participate in some of the nutty things they do, and come on, from the look of facebook they do look kinda fun. The most I got to do was mess around with play dough.



So, when Tom (VPEA) came into the non-sabb office saying 'come on, we're going to steal the open day food' I thought it would be interesting to watch. Well, he didn't quite say "steal" but he did later. Lol.



So together with Jen (The Big Cheese), Tom, Siobhan, Chris, Hannah and another guy we went to the arts building in search of free food. Having already bought my lunch I didn't really want anything but nevertheless I did help carry all the food from our raid back to the guild. One moment from the raid I will not forget is when we were leaving the common room in the arts building with stacks of food because it was that time someone from the university started heading our way. Jen dashed away quickly while Tom was talking on the phone how we just "nicked" a load of food, just as the guy walked past him. It was so funny, Jen fell out of an electric door trying to get away. The best part however was probably the fact we all had our badges on and to make it worse some were wearing their officer hoodies with their positions and names on. But ended up well and we were praised for our efforts by student staff. Free food is good food. (Photos: the remains!)



It was when I got back into the office I realised that I had made a crucial mistake. I had left Emma in the office without locking my computer. So there I was happily typing away when Siobhan, who had just got back to her email next to me, asked me if I had left my email on because apparently I had sent her an email. Wondering what the hell she was on about I checked my sent messages I managed to find that Emma and Hollie thought it would be hilarious to send emails around the sabbs and a few staff members saying "Wanna go for a drink sometime? I think your fit!" Hysterical. Absolutely bloody hysterical. Although I did learn to lock my computer that day, there were times when I was naive and too bloody trusting for my own good. I got locked out of the office 2 more times that day while they sent messages all from themselves and the staff! And you could tell when they did it too because all you would be able to hear is someone screaming "OH NO NOT AGAIN!!" and banging on the officer door as they barricaded me out! All I can be grateful for is that it wasn't an all staff email. Hmp! If this isn't bullying I don't what is, but I can tell you I am plotting my revenge!! Muhhahahahaha!
