Team building day

So we had our team building day yesterday, and there were no quad bikes to be seen. Nor Go Karts. Instead, we went on a bus trip to Monarto. Awesome.

We got there about 10ish, and had a half hour update, then did a getting to know each other exercise. We went round the room, and everyone said their name, how long they'd been with the organisation, and something they were passionate about. I said "Music", most other people said stuff like "Changing perceptions of South Australia interstate" or "Developing regional communities through tourism."

After this we did the next best thing to quad-biking - we had someone come in and give us a two hour course in "stakeholder management". Once he was done, we had a barbecue lunch, which was actually quite delicious.

After lunch we did the bus tour of the grounds, which would have been better if I hadn't already done it with Michella last year.

Finally, the day concluded with us being split up into groups to each make a 30-second tv ad for Monarto. Or basically do a thirty second play, like you might do on the last night of a camp. Ours wasn't particularly funny, although a few were. Much of the humour seemed to be based on gay-jokes. I'm 95% sure none of the people there were gay.

We got back on the bus around 4pm, and were back in Adelaide just after 5pm. Not a terrible day by any means, but definitely lacking the element of fun I was expecting.
