I thought you were going to talk about Stanford Roland00 Send a noteboard - 15/10/2019 04:43:31 AM

I thought you were going to talk about Stanford for my mind went to the famous Marshmallow experiment which has now been disproven and illustrates the problems of random variables and what you think is random often has some hidden bias you were oblivious to.

-----

Maybe it is something from Mensa, or middle school play in Science classrooms?

-----

Or maybe because people think by going to the absurd you are tapping into something more primal, more elemental, more beautiful of the forms. By playing with spaghetti and marshmallow you "reach for the stars" and while reaching you "touched the face of God."

When in reality it is not that, instead it is utter depravity, depravity forced upon you Mookie by bosses you did not elect in your workplace but they get to do this shit for they have the freakin money.

-----

I am sorry Mookie. Honestly I am sorry.

Question if you were to pick some form of gaudy waste of time cooperative building competition, what would you pick? Would it be something from a bridal shower game book, or what other form of cooperative time wasting play?

Yeah, I have no issue with the right of the company to compel participation in such BS. damookster - 15/10/2019 04:02:23 PM 292 Views
You know I egg Mookie on from time to time right? Roland00 - 15/10/2019 10:59:33 PM 279 Views
I don't get the nature of your trap Cannoli - 16/10/2019 11:03:52 AM 279 Views

I don't like any of them. All team building exercises and corporate ice breakers make me shudder. damookster - 15/10/2019 03:57:16 PM 285 Views
I've done similar stuff when applying for some jobs and I'll risk disagreeing with you AgentApple - 16/10/2019 01:53:33 PM 287 Views
