Most of my friends work in offices where they might blow off steam on a Friday afternoon with a TGIF happy hour or cocktail hour. However at Burton Snowboards we do things a little different. Ok, we do things very differently.
Last Friday we had a "Trailer Trash" party. We were cleaning out the storage trailers, out behind our building,in prepartion for new samples that were coming in. It's hard for my colleagues to do much of anything quietly. So the Trailer Trash party insued.
People dressed in all sorts of BIZ-are costumes. There were girls dressed in tiny costumes, one I think was supposed to be Strawberry Shortcake? Go figure. Food courtesy of Hooters.(Now that I think about it so was the Strawberry Shortcake) Beverages: Bud on tap and PBR in cans. Nasty food eating contests that consisted of pickled eggs, pickled onions, sardines, cheez whiz and cat food. Yes, there was a contest for who could eat the most canned CAT FOOD. (SO GROSS) There was milk chugging, bicycle relay races and an obligatory flip cup tourament....
Yes, we play hard, but then we work really hard too... No flip cup this week. I've got production specs to write and the boys and girls of softgoods are getting ready for a huge sales meeting next week.
Kung Pao!!
