Work can be fun, if you make it fun!
Maybe that's why it's so tough for me to leave this job of mine. I enjoy what I'm doing. I have colleagues who are of the same wave length, understanding & quite easy to work with. I won't say our relationship is 100% rosy but I would say that they are the best that I've worked with.
Of course, the organization itself plays a role. As I couldn't care less about politics & whatever else that is going on, I'm pretty much undisturbed by anything. To me, all that matters is I get my salary every month, I still have a job that would enhance my skills & I am happy doing what I am doing. :)
In December, we would always celebrate Christmas. Here are some of the things that we would "traditionally" do.
Our "Calender Pocket" sponsored by our ex-boss before she left the organization. There are 24 pockets and each of the pockets is filled with treats. It's meant for one person. But we have 4 persons in the team. So we divide the pockets to 3 and one of us has the Santa Stockings. Mine is the first 8 pockets this year as I'm going on leave the earliest.
Our "Colour Code"! We assigned a colour to every day and we will encourage everyone on our level to wear that particular colour of the day. So we pre-assigned what colour to which day. Chin (our acting head) would buy some sweets according to the colour to give it out to people who have participated in our "Colour Code". This year we added something new. We would write rhymes on the white board. One person will start and any passer by would add a line.:)
We would also traditionally have a Christmas Lunch with the other colleagues of the same floor. This year, there was a bigger group. So it was held at the Penthouse & our CEO was invited to join us. There will be a gift exchange. Each of us will have to draw out a name from a box and buy a gift of not less than RM10 for the person that we have drawn out. I bought a shaver for the person that I "chose". Well, he's a little unlucky to have someone so practical to be buying him a gift!
With my FUN team mates! We are known as the SQAD angels! :D

I found mine! YAYYY!
This is what I got this year. The Post It Pop Up Notes Dispenser! A practical gift for a practical person. :)
Our gifts "under" our Christmas tree. :)
Work is not only fun during the festive season. Our mood at work would always be at "hyper" or "active". If we notice that someone is not in a good mood, we will make an effort to cheer that person up! Hey, we are only human! Bound to have days when you don't feel so great. :)
When I conduct training for the newbies, the training would always end with a video. In this video it motivates you to think & be positive at work. The phrases that I would always keep in mind from the video are "Have Fun! Be Happy! The world would be a better place to live in!" & "Work can be boring, if you make it boring! Work can be fun, if you make it fun!"
GO AHEAD.. and HAVE FUN! :))
