lunch and learn

Had sushi for lunch on Friday with some colleagues. Probably the most fun I've had out to lunch in a very long time. Clearly, it was a much needed outing for us all.

We were two women, two men and a table full of opinion. You can learn a lot about your colleagues when they're having a good time. Defences come down and out comes the truth. If only there was sake, too. Can you imagine?

Can't wait to see what this week's after-work outing will produce, as alcohol will surely be involved. It's a short work week and everyone is looking forward to letting off a little more steam. And we haven't invited the boss so people should feel more free to express themselves -- not that we're a shy bunch around each other.

Could get ugly. Or fantastically entertaining. I'm voting for the latter, of course. Either way, transcripts the following day... [kidding]
