Every year after Labor Day our department of 140 people goes to a TN state park for a week of training (September Seminar). Many people stay at the lodge, but many stay in cabins for a less private week. Dept training planners bring executives from the company and outside speakers in to speak, we have team building events, play golf, and there are parties. This year the big Thursday night event was a progressive party between cabins. Each cabin was decorated in a theme and the occupants of that cabin served food and drink related to the theme of the cabin.
Here are my top 5 September Seminar Moments of 2009
#5: A member of the "Fireman" cabin gets frustrated because the carbon monoxide alarm continues to go off in his crowded cabin and did his best Joe Montana throwing it out the back door and into the forest.
#4: A VP visiting the "Fiesta" cabin, after being spun around and blindfolded for the pinata busting, grabs the breast of a female staff person instead of the pinata stick.
#3: Friday morning speaker is talking about getting people's attention with humor when my front row table calapses spilling glass plates of scrambled eggs and biscuts at the speaker's feet.
#2: My five person golf scramble (3 guys, 2 ladies) had the most fun. Nine holes, 35 beers.
#1: Full frontal hugs from the ladies at the "Disco" cabin.

A fine blog. Should the list expand to a sixth, let's not forget the description of the applause for the training folks.
nice girl
Glad you are keeping the torch burning.
Any truth to the rumor they were celebrating they get to be in a Whiskerino 2009 with you rather than Justie?
