Manchester Bound - Corporate Games
Tomorrow we’re off up to Manchester for the Corporate Games. The irony of the name is seriously not lost on me. I hate the word and what it implies. However Arup is not a corporation, so I feel slightly better about it all. Crap name, and rubbish website. For the uninitiated, these are games organised several times throughout the year, where companies from all of the country and I guess all over the world represent their company in a tournament of their prefered sport. There is a massive cross-section of sports available to participate in.
We’ll be representing for the Arup team. Last year we did ok since we’d never been up there before, so we really didn’t know what to expect. We made several mistakes, but bonded as only a team can bond. Last year we came sixth. This year we won’t be happy unless we get into the top 4! Yay I love the confidence, if I’m eating humble pie on Monday nobody mention this post ok. I want to give a massive shout out for Dree-Dog who will be sorely missed in this tournament. The ‘GARBAGE MAN’ is an asset that any team would be proud to have as part of their arsenal, should have made it down man.
I’ve got so many posts waiting to be published, but every since I got back from Lebanon I’ve been seriously busy every single day, both in and out of work. Hopefully next week will be slightly more relaxed and I’ll be able to get some writing done and make a bit more of a dent in all the blasted projects.
