One of the downsides to beating your boss’ boss’ boss in dodgeball is having to hear from time to time how close they were to beating us and how it came down to a lucky bounce here or there. Lately he’s resorted to dropping by, issuing challenges of rematches and what not…so I decided to remind him who’s champ.
I deliberately placed my trophies facing outwards so if you’re walking along the hall you’ll glimpse them. It’s just a subtle reminder to my director every time he passes by that he lost at the hands of one of his underlings.
Apparently he noticed, and not one to be outdone…check out his desk today. Badminton trophies from an executive bonding event…tempted to make a shuttlec__, large trophy quip here. Guess i just did.
So I grabbed the 2012 dodgeball team trophy…and yeah, it’s on!
anyone who sees this without knowing the backstory is going to think i’m a pompous prick. oh well.

Haha I’m glad you’re having fun even at work!
You seemed to have “forgotten” to mention that your boss’ boss’ boss also challenged you to a 1:1 in the hallway. Can you remind me who won that one????
welcome to the blog Cisco! I’ve always seen dodgeball as more of a team game so individual duels and awards seem trivial compared to a team championship. Win as a team and the hardware (which is all that matters) follows.
If you want to throw down 1:1 for your badminton trophy there, I’m game any time any where!
