Workplace Adventure

The weather is getting nicer and work continues to be just as long, though, to its credit, it feels like it is several hours longer than it actually is. No, there isn't some strange time slowing device, it is more that you get to view how great the day is and watch it pass you by. How can you make yourself enjoy your day? Good question. I have a few ideas for how to have fun at work.

Only Movie Quotes Day
Talking in movie quotes, or song quotes, all day is fantastic because it allows you to be creative and have fun. My favorite version of this is quoting Batman all day long and become annoying as possible. Well worth it.

Go on an Adventure
This can be as simple as stealing someone's new invention and randomly pointing it at stuff. Sure, it might be extremely dangerous, but you may win a contest...somehow.

Listen to Horribly Catchy Music
Horrible 80's music is usually the way to go in this instance, though be forewarned: "The Safety Dance" isn't really that safe. Of course, if you can find good elevator style music and really get into it people will notice and either enjoy it too or leave you alone. My favorite so far is Burt Bacharach's Greatest Hits.

Learn Something New 
Learning something new isn't too difficult and can be fun. If you are paid to learn something, then by all intents and purposes, learn something else that is fun. This entire process can be expedited by having space worms. Just beware of internal battles.

Create a Game
A game is simple. All you have to do is make a score card of things that happen on a fairly regular basis. Give each a point value. Then make a few items on the list that are outrageous with extremely high points. Whoever ends up with the most points wins.
 

Just Remember: Work can be fun, just fake it like it is and it might actually start being fun.
