Today my company finally put the pictures from our rafting trip on the server. At the time this picture was taken we were going through some rapids backwards. Throughout the day my raft often found ourselves going backwards. The guy in front with his paddle up in the air rather than helping us paddle is Tom, who is one of the company owners. Later in the afternoon I yelled at him for talking and messing around when we were suppose to be paddling. I don't think I am ever going to live that down, yesterday he walked by my desk and said, "Kerri, I will try to remain quiet and stay focused."
The most exciting event of the day was when one of the newest employees at MEP and the only new guy to go on the trip fell out and ended up under the raft. He wasn't in my raft so I didn't experience the excitement first hand but it was entertaining to hear it retold. This may be true of any group of people but I loved watching the engineers recover from their panic and then recount the story. They wavered back and forth from total drama to just facts and complete lack of emotion. The guy who fell out usually seems on the end of panic in office but seemed pretty calm about the whole experience and one of the least emotional guys in the office was the guy in the raft who paniced the most. The joys of watching how your coworkers relate to real life experiences.
