July's update

Well I've been feeling good now, so out there enjoying life!

I went to camp training on the first weekend of July. It was great to see everyone again. Any one interested in coming to a camp, there is another training in September!!!

On the 9th, Cam, Rach, Jo and I went to a pub quiz! We went to The Deck and participated in the quiz they have there. We didn't come last!!! They had some really tough questions, plus being the only new team there, they forgot to tell us a few of the rules! They would've helped!

21-25 July we had a Secret Appreciation week at work. We have Information Services, Human Resources and Business Process (business analysts) in our group, and we have a committee of representatives, called the Ministry of Fun (MOF). We organise different activities to get people to interact with each other.
We organised this appreciation week in the lull of winter, when everyone's feeling a bit down. Anyone who wanted to participate had to fill in a form, which asked the basics, like favourite food, drink, flower, etc. We got someone not involved to draw names out of a hat. Everyone got given a form of someone (not in their immediate team), who they secretly appreciated for the week. It was so much fun, sneaking around, trying to leave presents without being seen! I got very spoilt by my person! Then at the Friday drinks, we all took a guess of who we thought had been appreciating us. I didn't guess my person right!
