Summer Nostalgia
Around this time, a year ago, I was involved in something that was to become a turning point in the history of our comapny. As a background, company where I work is composed of highly intelligent people with their own idiosyncracies. Well, studies do show that there is a thin line between intelligence and insanity.
At this time, a year ago, a group of people decided to have fun. They decided to share what little abilities they have to others but express it in their own unique way.
Thus, in the summer of 2006, the skeleton of what was to become the CC Newswire was born. It started with a simple e-mail from a group of allegedly good basketball players called the CC All-Stars. The mail was about their exploits in their weekly games with bums. Then followed the Dancing Belles. A group of girls who showed us that swaying your hips isn't as easy as it looks. And of course, who could forget the CC Elite Swimming Team.
I don't have copies anymore of their first exploits. Suffice to say, these three groups where the backbone of a certain content that was probably one of the reasons why major changes occured in the office environment.
How was I involved? I was the one who sent the emails. Never denied it even once. But I stand my ground and say that it was and always is for fun.
So to the All-Stars, Dancing Belles, and Elite Swimming Team, cheers!
We had the time of our lives!
Since I have problems uploading an mp3 file, I'll just put it the lyrics. It's a little something from Green Day.
Another turning point
A fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist
Directs you where to go
So make the best of this test
And don't ask why
It's not a question
But a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life
So take the photographs
And still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf of good health
And good time
Tattoos of memories
And dead skin on trial
For what it's worth
It was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life
