Yeah, I've got one of those crappy days coming up!  Usually I'd say that it beats working but I also did it last year and it doesn't.  The Brits rarely go in for this kind of nonsense, unfortunately I work for Americans!

my company does service projects - ie building playgrounds locally, packing at foodbanks, renovating schools, etc followed by lots of drinking. Pretty good concept overall and it tends to keep the cheesiness to a minimum.

I could get behind something like that much more than stupid trust falls or other role-playing nonsense "teambuilding" usually entails.  Hell, that actually gives me an idea.  At least half of my team is big into animal welfare so I might suggest our next "teambuilding event" be volunteering at Humane Society Of Missouri.  

i think that is a great idea. Doing stuff together as a team that accomplishes something tangible brings people together moreso than those trust exercises.

Yeah that stuff is cool and worthwhile. I've done two school painting projects in the last year.

Way better idea, actually doing something positive. Frankly, I think there are too many people who want to drop me in the trust falls.

Have you done this yet?

Nope. We're scheduled for Sept. 11.
