Reason #47 to never volunteer for anything.
We needed a fund raiser at work to help raise the money for our christmas party (which is gonna be one hell of a blast!). Someone came up with the wonderful idea of selling chances to toss a pie at their favorite manager, and I guess the idea just took off. Too bad I'm a manager. So they designated it as a "casual dress" day, and put up signs for people to bid on. The highest bidder for each manager gets first crack at that manager. No big deal, I thought... one pie... how bad can it be? What I didn't know was: after the initial "bid" toss... they were gonna sell a pie to anyone who had a dollar in their pocket. I helped earn over 30 bucks today. |

The first pie I got hit with came as a surprise.
I was expecting him to throw it. The rules were pretty simple, I stand in a marked area, they stand behind a line. Instead... he crossed the line and went to town. Bastard! |
|
The next pie came in from the left... after the first one, I wasn't expecting any to get thrown.
As you can see... it isn't really a pie, but rather popcorn covered with whipped cream on a paper plate. The combination sticks to the skin rather well. |

Then Mike came along.
Apparently he had money to burn. He grabbed a pie in each hand, and next thing you know, I've got popcorn and whipped cream shoved so far into my ears that hearing became a thing of the past (seriously, I had to dig popcorn out of my ears.. and that isn't easy!) Oh yeah... this is fun. |
|
They all thought this was a riot.
I, of course, was only 1 of the 20 some managers who got nailed in this (and believe me... I have pictures of it all!). I'm just glad that we did the event this week, because next week I'm doing annual reviews for my people (insert evil laughter here). Oh yeah... this is gonna cost 'em! |

So from the fun I actually learned a few important things that I though I might pass on to you, my valued reader:
