Life is good when you can have fun at work.<\/p>\n

A month or two ago, a couple of the guys in the art department and I decided to enrich our lives by having a little more fun, more motivation, more relaxation, and more exercise. We started walking around the block during our 15-minute breaks.<\/p>\n

Most of the time, it’s just the three of us, but we always try to get some of the other people in our department to come along. Lately, we’ve gotten a regular fourth to come with us at least three or four times a week, and she adds to the conversation as she keeps our numbers even.<\/p>\n

Another recent addition to the walks: a scooter<\/a>. One of the guys brought it from home, and we all take turns on it, even our regular fourth, who claims to be too old to be using the thing. We’ve also started taking along a little Nerf-like football, which we throw to each other in long or short passes when we’re not on the scooter.<\/p>\n

Take it for granted, then, that our walks are even more fun than before. This gives us more selling points to make when trying to get other people to join us. And today, we finally got the one person we’ve really, most sincerely been trying to get to join us, the one we knew could most benefit from a tried and true break from the workday.<\/p>\n

It was the best walk yet. We came back feeling motivated and energetic, even more productive than before, and truly appreciative of the air-conditioned room.<\/p>\n

It makes me wonder what other people do on their coffee breaks. Is there anyone out there who does anything other than drink coffee or have a smoke?<\/p>\nShare this post:
