Aurora had a bowling competition for happy hour today! Everyone left work around 3:30 to go to a nearby bowling alley, and the games began! The teams were randomly chosen beforehand, and I was on a team with Bert, Daniel, Yuen Yee, and Laurie. Bert is the VP of biotech, but seems a lot more like a college kid.
Daniel is a smart, kooky, eccentric employee that is very skinny and has very long arms and legs. It never seems that Daniel moves the way our joints permit so he always seems like he's dancing with broken limbs. He actually reminds me of Ronald Dahl's the big friendly giant. I don't think other people read as much as I did when I was younger, because nobody ever knows who I'm talking about when I mention the bfg.
This is the bfg:
Don't they look kind of similar?
Yuen Yee is a very happy lady from Hong Kong. I'm not positive she's from Hong Kong because it seems she has been everywhere. She is a lot of fun to be around and never fails to put a smile on your face.
Laurie is one of our temporary employees from Australia, and he uses quite a bit of aussie slang that leaves the rest of us clueless as to what he just said. A lot of the people at work , especially Jon, like his accent, but what do I know of that?
And of course, there was me!
We started bowling, and it was actually a lot of fun. Yuen Yee has a very bad elbow, so after six or seven gutter balls in a row, I suggested that she roll the ball instead. Bert and Daniel liked the idea, so they demonstrated how to roll the ball between your legs. It was pretty funny to watch one of the VPs of Aurora and a leggy man showing Yuen Yee how to roll an imaginary ball between their legs.
That's Bert in the photo, teaching Yuen Yee how to roll the ball. The man bowling next to Bert is Steve, who was on Jon's team. Jon's team ended up winning, and Jon ended up having the highest individual score! Here's Jon:
The first time Yuen Yee rolled the ball, it was a gutter ball. The next round, she knocked a few pins down! The round after that, she knocked a few more down, and then finally she knocked them all down in one try! We were very proud of her!
Daniel was having a lot of fun throwing his body on the ground every time he bowled.
He did a few impressive belly rolls too, but sadly there are no photos of that.
The night was pretty fun with a few highlights. One was when the evening bartender finally arrived. Beer is a very, very important part of my coworkers lives and when the bartender finally showed up, I am pretty sure I was the only one still standing at the bowling lanes. Most people know I don't really drink, so Cynthia brought me some Pepsi with cherries! Then Jon did, too! He was disappointed that Cynthia beat him to it, but it didn't matter; I was thirsty and I gladly drank them both. After the games finished, people stood around talking for a little while longer. I tried to stick around, but quickly got bored and slipped out the door.
