Putting a bow on it
Though the weather outside may be dreary, spirits are at an all-time high around the Edelman Toronto office. Last night while opposing teams were in a deep slumber, Team Nerf was burning the midnight oil…actually the 4am oil…until we achieved perfection. Sleep is for the weak. In my second year participating in this event, I have come to the realization that though this is work-related…it really isn’t work at all. The Little Give is actually an opportunity. It is an opportunity to give back to our local community, an opportunity to strengthen bonds with colleagues, and also an opportunity to show off hidden (and potentially underutilized) talents in front of the entire office. Over the course of these past 48-hours, there has been an inverse correlation between hours of sleep (all-time low) and level of happiness (all-time high) that really wouldn’t exist at any other time during the work-week.
It may be a bit cliché…but despite the fact that this is a competition, there really are no losers here. We are pumped to see the work that our amazing colleagues have produced. Everyone at Team Nerf is extremely proud of what we have been able to accomplish in such a short period of time and can’t wait to show you what we came up with. In only a few hours the 2011 Little Give will be wrapped up…let’s make sure to put a pretty bow on it!
Sincerely,
AFaz & The Rest of Team Nerf
