One of the down sides to this remote working thing is not getting to participate in office stuff. I actually miss some things, like company lunches and taking breaks with people.
My normal break buddy is more interested in my making him a pancake than any real conversation. He has a thing about syrup, and the more that is poured on the happier he seems to be.
When I got the email about their latest office thing I replied back and asked if remote employees could participate as well.
Remember in August, when I had this amazing goal to continue to lose weight by starting the exercising thing?
Didn't happen.
I'm lazy.
I'm still at the same weight I was.
But this email gave me the final push: cash.
They've started a Biggest Loser competition, with bi-weekly weigh ins, and in December someone would be taking him money. Originally it was to be 1 winner for most percentage of weight lost, but thanks to the generosity of the big boss, there will be 2 winners, one for the percentage, and then one for most weight lost.
Each winner takes home $250.
So now, when I would rather snooze than hit the treadmill, I think about the extra money for Christmas.
Amazing how that makes me want to move, right?
