Block Island
Last Friday, I went to the “off-site meeting” our department was having at Block Island. Off-site meeting, in non-corporate terms, means “an excuse to get out of the office and still get paid”. The interns were pushing hard to get invited to the event since the begining of the summer, but once we finally did, everyone backed out except for Intern Dan and I.
Even we wavered, but I’m glad we went. Although it was mostly people in our office that I never worked directly with, everyone was hilarious, fun, and totally caring. We biked all of Block Island, and visited some really cool sites, like the two lighthouses, a part of the island where waves collide, and a shack by the cliffs. Pictures, taken with my totally new and awesome Sony Ericsson s710a, are included above with commentary (aside: The Motorola RAZR’s are way overrated, folks. Get this one!).
By the way, be it known that I could not keep up with my middle-aged to older coworkers. I’m that out of shape. I have the torn calf muscles to prove it.
