Fun At Work

This phrase is more of an oxymoron these days. The project am working on right now has unrealistic deadlines and hence code named 'MI' after the famous Tom Cruise thriller. The workplace is cramped, more like a call center. Literally everyone is burning their asses to deliver the product in time.
Amidst all this chaos, people find time to have fun. Every week there will be some occasion to party and if there isnt any we will come up with one :). A party without liquor is so stale hence we make it a point to bring in varieties every week :) and this week it was Tequilas and Margaritas along with some Beer. Beer is like the LCM of liquor, it has to be there. So we drowned ourselves in Tequilas. One of our guys was having a compile problem which he could'nt solve for like 2 hours. So our man gulps in some margaritas, goes near his comp and shouts 'hey that 'p' has to be in lower case' :) and he is thro' with his compiling. Then guys started playing black jack. The game is definitely addictive. I was first exposed to Black Jack in the Foxwood casins. I guess someday am bound to lose thousands in Black Jack :).
Its fun working out here even though the work sucks big time :).
