The Happy-ometer

There's nothing quite like a bit of self-appreciation. That is why at work, the lovely work-Fiona and I have designed the Happy-ometer for the Marketing and Comms team. It's a thermometer drawing and when our clients thank us for the work we've done, or say we've done a great job, we add stars to our Happy-ometer and eventually reward our efforts with food and drinks. There's nothing like a fun social event to motivate the team! And it's so nice to actually stop and think, "hey, that person just thanked me! I'm doing a good job!"

Anyway, after about two months of studiously adding stars to our Happy-ometer, we finally reached our end goal on Friday 4 August - a night of Sizzlers (we love our food), Strike Bowling (we're just big kids!), and a quiet drink or two (yeah right!).

I was first up at bowling and I managed to get a strike! But it all went downhill from there... I think I finished fourth or fifth?

After bowling the stayers partied on at the Port Office (oh dear) and after Maccas and eight boxes of cookies (thanks Alex) we all stumbled home around 4am. It was a fun night, but I'm keeping Mum as what goes on tour stays on tour.
