After 3 hrs sleep, I get to drive 8 hrs north to attend a day and a half of meetings, then turn around and drive 8 hrs back. Oh, and there's a mandatory "team building" night thrown in there too - but since it's such a small town there's nowhere to do any sort of team building activity so we're spending the evening in the place we're having the meeting and just hanging out. Fun, eh? :rolleyes:

It didn't turn out as bad as I thought it would be - "team building" ended up being poker night. I'm a pretty crappy player, so didn't exactly clean up though. The worst part was having to drive more than 1200km in 3 days....but due to the size of the airports, it would've actually taken longer to fly than drive.
I hate those team building things!!!! We recently had one for the department that I work in and I found it a complete waste of time and money. For the most part I don't like the people in my dept and don't want to build a team with them - just do my job and go home at the end of the day. I find that they don't really help with the disfunction in the office - I feel your pain.
i'm not a fan of the out of town 'team building' scenarios. it can be fun to get together with fellow staff outside of work...but i'd much rather it on my terms, when i can pop in and out at my desire. but to have to be there is not always pleasant....but hey, it's a night away enjoy it....someone else is picking up the tab :D
