This is a great memorandum showing how extracurricular interests affect the workplace.
Important sporting events can cause a disturbance in the workplace. However, sometimes a little honesty and lack of denial in a memorandom can put a little more fun and honesty in the workplace. Although the context of the memo is informal, it shows that when people have common interests in the workplace, it might make one's day at work a little more exciting.
Thanks, Bryan. Your post reminds me of how Australians celebrate a horse-race called the Melbourne Cup. This excerpt from the following link will fill you in (http://www.infobarrel.com/The_Melbourne_Cup_-_Australia's_Most_Famous_Horse_Race):
ReplyDelete"The Melbourne Cup is often referred to as 'the race that stops a nation' because almost every Australian will take the time to watch the race on TV or listen to the race call. ... Many office workers will arrange for someone to bring a TV into the workplace and even people who wouldn't normally have a bet will have a once a year punt, even if it is just 50 cents in the workplace sweepstakes. The Melbourne Cup is a quintessential part of Australia's culture and is celebrated with great enthusiasm across the nation each year."
Not too far from what's going on in Vancouver right now!
Thanks Kate, it is the same in Argentina during the world cup of soccer. It wasn't fun being trapped inside my apartment for 3 days after all the riots when Argentina lost against Germany. I really hope the Canucks win now...I need to leave my apartment....
