I took customer calls until 12pm, and then our team left to participate in our team day. It started with lunch at a fancy pants Chinese restaurant, where I had shrimp and scallops in a light and buttery wine sauce, and then it was on to our executive offices downtown, where I learned a few cool things about our company, and a few not so cool things about our company. Then we signed t-shirts for each other while we spent more time getting to know one another with team building games.
After we ended the team day, myself, two co-workers, one of the co-worker's spouse, our supervisor, and our lead had a few cocktails at a local brewery and shot some pool. The gloves came off before the first beer/cocktail was finished, and we all relaxed and had a good time giving each other a hard time. I won two games of pool, and I actually had a great time (I had serious doubts that this would be fun for me)...
