Down Time

I decided to take a couple of days off from my cyber activities. I was too tired to come up with much and the thought of typing more than a couple of sentences was too much to bear. I know, I know, typing is such hard work. But really. I had some long days, late nights and early mornings.

So as I said in the earlier post, I went to Bowen Island with my team mates on Tuesday. It was a "team building" day. We took the ferry over in the late morning. Then walked around a beautiful small lake. And finished off at the pub near the ferry landing. 

I took a bunch of pictures, got a mild sun burn, and drank free beer. It was great. My coworker Matt and I got separated from the group while walking around the lake. They all powered on while we took our time to enjoy the surroundings and take some pictures. I like my coworkers, and was not trying to avoid them, but it was nice to hang back with Matt and take in all the nature. The group thought we were lost and phoned us a couple of times to make sure we were alive. Matt and I laughed though when we caught up with some of them at a cross point on the trail and discovered that they had all taken a wrong turn and ended up taking the long route back to town. 

We had lunch and drinks on the patio at the local pub. The view from the patio was nice and I stuffed myself with chicken wings and beer. I didn't get shitfaced because I knew I would have to drive later, but I did get a buzz on. The whole group played a couple of rounds of Scattergories, which was good for some laughs. Matt, Dinah, Sarah, and I stayed to play more Scattergories and drink more beer while the rest of our team left to catch the four o'clock ferry. 

Such a great day. And the sweetest part was that I was getting paid to be there.

Here's a link to the rest of my pics.
