Corporate golf day
Posted by cinderfarkenrella on November 24, 2007
Had a day out of the office yesterday for the annual corporate golf day. Have never been to a corporate golf day so was a bit unsure about what was going to happen.. it could have been a boozey, love-fest of the type that gets Telco employees fired, as much as it could have been a death-by-powerpoint day. It turned out to be a very enjoyable day in the sunshine, the best part being the golf carts. I was on fire behind the wheel of the vehicle of choice for the golf club.. on fire!! Hooning around, terrifying the local fauna, and getting that baby on two wheels around hair pin turns near the 12th hole.. I reckon I got it up to at least 40 kph for a few seconds there.. Before the engine cut out on me anyway. As it constantly did. Not sure why.
But no matter. I made it around the course a couple of times. At speed. In case you’re wondering, I wasn’t playing. I was the driver for the girl who was filming the event, who also happens to be the girl who sits next to me at work, which means that she is also happens to be the one I run amok with more than anyone else. We make a great team. And we decided that there is only so many times you can film office-dwellers tee’ing off (often verrrrrry poorly) before it becomes to put it bluntly, pretty bloody boring.
But we jazzed it up as best we could. With beer, boy-racer-style tactics to get around the course, and of course some very fancy editing of the said vid.. which will make it look like the drinks-cart girls are handing the national sales manager the “do not drink” pond water and a customer skulling a beer before crashing his cart, making the channels manager ninja roll from the cart to fall precariously over a cliff.. As I said, not super rivetting stuff. But back to the go-cart… er.. golf-cart. Or not. Let’s just say that my colleagues are now saying that they’re not surprised I had a car accident on Sunday.. Hmmm..
