Cheeto HeadSeptember 5, 2010Last month EHL held its Annual Summer Family Picnic, up at Raab Park in Poulsbo. It is a large park, near the local high school with a huge field, playground for kids, skate-park, volleyball net, stage for concerts, community garden, basketball hoops, exercise trail, covered seating area, BBQ grills, and dog park. When I was a child I remember going here with my parents for their own work parties and now here I am, taking my children to my work party. The best part of a work party is the fun we create; relaxing, eating, hanging out and talking about our lives outside of work. We get to see how big our co-workers kids have grown since the last time we saw them and get to mingle with the people in our other departments or offices that we don’t see everyday. This year Jenny from our Employee Benefits division, came up with a terrific game called “Cheeto Head”. First you get three enthusiastic volunteers (thanks Jenny, Brian, and Jeff). Each volunteer places a shower cap on their head and a bag over their body and then they rub shaving cream all over their heads. The remaining employees then split into three teams, line up behind a line (or in our case a picnic table) and start throwing Cheetos at their designee's head. By the time the Cheetos are gone, the winner is the one with the fullest head.  Aside from retrieving pictures that can later be used against someone (no really, I got permission to post these pictures!)… it really is a great experience bonding and belly laughing with your co-workers. How joyful it is to work with people you like and no better way to build that relationship than to do extra curricular activities with those people. When we got back to work the next day, I emailed the staff all the pictures from the event. Jenny immediately printed her Cheeto Head picture, posted it on the file cabinet next to her office with the saying “HR is Serious!” Now every time I visit her area and see the picture I have a big smile on my face. I hope these pictures leave YOU with a big smile on your face. Take care, Heidi |
