Par-tay!
Things are going great in our sales department so they are having a party this afternoon and have invited us DJ’s to crash. It’s a bowling party so I can’t wait! I know it sounds dorky but as I mentioned when we had our singles party: I like to bowl.
I did not grow up in the Bay Area which I think has fantastic weather. (Okay the fog thing is a little weird but at least you don’t have to shovel it!) I grew up in Buffalo, New York which I love to say is a great place to be from. As a kid all that snow is fun…snowball fights, making snowmen and snow angels, skiing (yes, I ski), ice skating (yes I skate), sledding and my favorite- the toboggan! Fond memories. As an adult that white stuff was something you had to brush, shovel and melt so you could go about your day. Ugh!I still think snow is beautiful to look at and to me it’s not Christmas without it but aside from that and the occasional ski trip…adios Amigo!
I know you’re thinking “what does this have to do with a bowling party?”. Well, the point is that when you spend approximately six months of the year indoors you become pretty good at cards, board games, pool, darts and bowling! I spent many a night with friends downing pizza and beers and trying to hit the head pin. It wasn’t so much the bowling as the friendships and the good times we had. Nothing builds a bond like competition against a common challenger when you’re on the same team. I admit I’m not pro status but I can hold my own and I’m the biggest cheerleader around. So this afternoon I look forward to making friends out of co-workers, winning at least once and if nothing else a cold beer and a hot slice. In my book that’s a great afternoon, hope yours goes great too!
