Not your typical staff meeting…
I’m sitting in Blackbird Coffee House in Knoxville waiting for my staff to show up. They’re racing here.
Today is the last staff meeting for two of our interns, Chris & Stuart, so I thought we’d have a little send off for them. Car Rally style…
I told the staff to arrive to staff meeting without having eaten breakfast. I had instructions and the first clue taped to dry erase board in our office. The clues will lead them to other clues which will lead them throughout the office building at 4MS…then to their cars…and then hopefully, to me here at Blackbird for staff meeting.
I’m waiting here to treat them all to breakfast at Blackbird’s…and a mighty fine selection of tasty treats, I might add... Then we’re taking a field trip to a bookstore to talk about books, reading, studying, etc…
The first team just arrived. Here’s their championship picture…
The other team, i.e.- losers, just arrived…here’s their picture…(and I just found out they cheated to even get here last…pity)

Chris Dorsten said... Who would have thought that "the Colonel" didn't refer to the late, great Colonel Sanders of KFC?
With that said, thanks for this morning! This summer has been amazing.-

said... I wouldn't call it "cheating".
I would call it "using our resources" or "efficiancy"-

Molly...you cheated AND you spelled 'efficiency' wrong.

Why is Chris smiling? Doesn't he know he lost?

I think Chris is smiling at the ultra-competitiveness of the three standing in front of him...
