Todays appreciative SWAG

Today was our Health and Wellness fair.

Which as far as I could tell consisted soley to show us how unhealthy we are.

For FREE they:
Tested our cholesterol, our BMI (thats Body Mass Index), and our blood pressure.

And conducted a Dermavue skin analysis (shows you the UV damage to your skin)

Not to mention representives from Weight Watchers....and COPE (an employee mental health provider)

I'm sorry? So they show their appreciation by telling us we're stressed, fat, sun damaged, mental...AND we have high blood pressure?

How inspiring...

I of course partook in none of this.

I waltzed in, grabbed my free gift (a nifty blue Nalgene bottle) and breezed right back out again.

I am now at my desk eating Gummi Bears...and drinking Diet Coke.

A woman in my department won the "Weight Watchers" tote bag, she almost cried she was so happy..... at least they were smart enough to just bring it down to her..and not send out a company wide e-mail alerting us that she was the lucky weiner.

I snuck a few male co-workers names into the drawing...but no dice.

Fate is not my friend today.

oh penny, penny, penny.
first a field trip, now the workplace equivalant of a sports day! sounds like the last week of term at an average british school!
are they going to let you go in without your uniform on friday? or take in your favourite board game?
what exactly do you do at work?
i hope to god it's not something REALLY important to mankind!
can't take the piss too much. my company announced profits of £2 billion for last year. and we got a buffet! £50 between 26 of us! thats less than £2 each.
