Kathy C Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I started a new job today and promised myself that I would avoid mentioning chickens for a bit, so I did not get immediately labelled the "eccentric". So, our first activity today was an ice-breaker - people bingo. One of the questions we had to ask the other people to fill in our card was "what was your first pet?" So my resoution lasted about 30 minutes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helenp Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 It happened at my new job induction to, the question was "what makes you different" I said I keep 3 chickens. They now all think I am mad & call me the "egg lady"" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules. Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 The company he works for is moving premises within the town centre next week, & this is a team building/training course that lasts 4 days at a local hotel. He also gets lunch thrown in!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I've been asked to join the teambuilding day of the company I do some work for. I am self employed and my team consists of, ooh, lets see, er .... 1! From what I can gather we will be finding out what colour we are (as in red, yellow, green or blue). I don't want to be any of those, I want to be sky blue pink with yellow dots on. But of course I will take it all very seriously on the day! (not!)
