FORE-TH-(URS)DAY

Now I've never really been into golf. A little slow and boring for my taste, but let's be honest, I mainly dislike it because I really blatantly suck at it. I can hit it far and towards the hole fine, just when I get on that green, I "lose concentration" and putt on 5 to 10 more strokes onto my total... You can't even get angry and flip out, or you'll look like a complete tool. I was planning on talking about the time I saw someone get hit by a golf ball, or a joke about how quiet they request the crowd to be, or comment on the heat and length of a game, or even talk about how the execs of the agency like to play it so much, but I've decided to skip all of that and save you (the reader) from reading an excess amount of my awful writing.

Onto a more Admerasia related topic, in the following blod entry I will describe the office... Buckle up, it gets really intense... [Not!] This 6th floor office has got 2 conference rooms. One is maxed out at 5 or so people, while the other can hold probably around 25 people. Both are fully equipped with a table, chairs, a white board, an artistic looking clock, oh and one of those very cool Ghostbuster-esque tripod conference call machines. Both the rooms are quite busy, and have meetings in them most of the day. I've had the privilege of already attending large group meetings, small brainstorming sessions, meetings with clients and update discussions. Now I regret to say that some of those large group meetings, where people are encouraged to come up with ideas for certain plans, are just an absolute mess with little direction. They wind up just being a waste of time.

Then there's the kitchen/hang out area. Yeah that's where the cool staff members hang out. I have yet to use the refridgerator to keep my homemade lunch chilled, because I haven't brought lunch, but I plan on doing so soon. There was a birthday party there for one of the guys from A Language Bank, I don't really know him very well, hence why I haven't mentioned his name or his age, but the cake was a solid pastry. Oh, and have I ever acknowledged that there is free soda in the office? I don't really know why but there is free Sprite and Coca-Cola over there. I don't know about the other employees but it saves me money everyday at lunch.

Now when you get off the elevator, to your left are those meeting rooms, and to your right is that break area. Directly in front of you is the secretary. (No not Pam Beasley, she's a saleswoman now.) The rest of the office is the company, or companies I should say. Behind the secretary to the slight left is A Language Bank, while Admerasia primarily sits in the center and right side of the space. There's the leadership team, the followers team, creative department, finance squad, extreme base-jumping team and etc.etc that are all spread out across the floor.

"IT'S A TRAP!" Sorry about that random outburst but, come on, Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. Admiral Ackbar, that Mon Calamari is a legend... And I leave you with that thought, may the force be with you! [and also with you]...
