Impromptu origami party at work...and don't miss the video!!

Ok, we are all busy individuals here. I mean seriously...even if you look up each one of us in Rally, you will find us at a staggering 125% or 253%. What that means in simple English is...yeah you guessed it...we are a busy lot. I mean, we eat by-the-computer lunches while trying to squeeze in more productivity into our already super productive days.

Until today, that is.


I was walking over to discuss something code related with VJ when my eyes swept over some very attractive, colored and patterned papers. The child in my kicked in and I was overcome with this overpowering need to make a paper plane. A few creases and folds later, I had a cute polka dotted plane in my hands. My eyes then did a quick peripheral check to find a likely target I could assault with my paper plane. I naturally found BK (remember BK? he is the same dude who said the Boba cashier super-sized my drink after taking one look at me...yeah...that same guy) to be the best target. Giving my paper plane sufficient lift and drag, I gracefully launched my first assault. But paper planes, being what they are, seldom reach the intended target..! It hit KK instead.


Other pairs of weary eyes looked up. More hands found the origami papers. Soon, we are having a full scale Origami party. Oh what creativity!!! Between the five of us, we had three kinds of boats, four kinds of planes and one flying saucer. I even made a witch and a flapper. LG made some cool designs, KK made a couple head-turners. All the models are on display presently.


So, like every story of mine, this one has a funny ending too. VJ, in all her excitement of making the most perfect paper inflatable ball(in her opinion) was super proud of herself...and wanted to thank me for teaching her how to make it. 

VJ looked at the inflatable ball she has crafted and created with child-like wonder and said "Wow, I'm sooo talented". Then VJ, being the violent person that she is(<grin>), took a pre-meditated aim at my lovely face, said thank you and threw it ...yes...right on my face. 

Hilarious! She was so profusely sorry for her actions...she hasn't stopped apologizing since. But the flip side to that was that BK was happily recording this little exchange. Yes, we have it on Video!!!!

Check it out. I am not sure if it will look its slap-stick best when you view it, but to us here...it really was a moment.

Ok, back to the grind now. Good day, folks!
