Chapter 48 Midsummer as usual

Verse 1

So another midsummer has come and gone.

We met up a couple of friends intending to barbecue and to quaff a pint or two.
The grill was coming along nicely and we were getting ready to start fixing the meat when the first gentle raindrops fell.

The shower that promptly followed was anything but. After a while we gave up and decided to pack everything up and move the party indoors.

When we came within throwing distance of the apartment where we were going to continue our midsummer celebrations the rain had stopped and the sun was shining down on us.

No one was surprised...

Verse 2

Contrary to intentions of the powers that rule we had a nice evening and the morning that followed was blessedly free of hangovers, at least for me.

Chapter 47 A day after

Verse 1

This is the day after our little HR-thingy, it comprised as expected of some powerpoints and a couple of presentations of what is going in some of the different departments.
My hat goes off to one of my colleagues that contrary to company habits didn't use powerpoint but did his presentation ad-lib.

Later we went to the park for some food and games, there it became embarrassingly obvious that the game was rigged.
My team lost...twice

Verse 2

I just want to add that rumor has it that for some, the day after came way too early...Those youngsters and their ways.

Verse 3

Needless to say, we got beer.

Chapter 46 Patches, i don't want no stinking patches

Verse 1

I have been trying for a couple of days now to patch a game on my computer, dang they sure build some stupid programs sometimes!
They have zero intuition for what patch you need and they don't register the fact that you patched twice already and now are ready to apply the next one.

- No way! You cant do that, you need version 1.21 first.

- Hmm, you mean the version i just upgraded to?

I am so happy i am gifted with infinite patience...

Verse 2

We are up for another team-building HR thing at work this coming Tuesday. It could be kind of interesting.
I am always curious to hear what they will say. We can probably expect a powerpoint presentation and i wonder if we will be subjected to some kind of classic team-building event.

Hopefully we will see a beer or two at the end of it.
