Retreat Recap

Dillman's Bay Resort on White Sand Lake, Wis.
Another year, another office retreat, another business plan, and another arsenal of fond memories. Now, I wouldn't go so far as to call it "paradise" like the stairs to the dock proclaimed, but it wasn't as bad as I expected. In fact - gasp - it was kind of fun. Highlights:
  • After a hot 'n heavy rendez-vous with whiskey, a coworker proclaimed - no less than fifty times - that she's "pretty [expletive deleted] smart" and has "pretty [expletive deleted] smart ideas." (I'm not sure if she remembers this and I'm not one to bring it up. Yet.)
  • We played the board game Battle of the Sexes and explained to the men that the number in a bra size (e.g. 32, 34, 36) does not refer to the cup size. (Only in their dreams.)
  • I spent lazy mornings wading in the lake - and subsequently ripped a leech off my toe. Gross.
  • Plenty of nature to tide me over for another year. (That leech did me in.)

  1. The leech did me in, and I want even there! Not too big on nature, though. Other than that it doesn't sound too bad :)
