King of the Jungle

October 11th, 2006 - Filed under Personal, Social, Work.

Today I beat Cody Morrison (a mate from work) at a game of Ping Pong. The final score was 21 – 4 and I consider this to be a decisive blow to his moral. The fight is downhill for me now, he is on the defensive!

Our office team is small so there is no room for long term grudges and bickering, we either get along with each other or move on. Many offices have certain policies in place that resolve conflicts; we on the other hand prefer to settle our problems before they happen as much as possible. There is no set plan for this; we just go with the flow.

For example, Michael and I have meetings; we drink coffee and talk about the business and how we can improve things. This always seems to solve our differences, especially when we both realize we’re both fighting for the same thing and we just need to work it out.

With Cody it’s very different. He likes to hit things… so we play ping pong. This is pretty fun because the winner always walks away thumping his chest and claiming to be the dominate male. It’s all very manly and probably could be compared to something on the Discovery Channel.

Now pardon me, I have to go thump my chest and assert my dominance in the office.

Update: He killed me in at 21 - 13 game immediately after this. DAMN!

Sounds more like the beginning of 2001: A Space Oddessy when the apes learn to use tools. :)

Sam Howat Says:

LOL! Wow, didn’t realize my casual blogging could be considered on the same plane as that!

Joshua Kendall Says:

Actually I was comparing the way you act after winning to the apes first learning to use tools, not your blogging to the actual movie. :)

Sam Howat Says:

Damn! See, I thought I could take some credit there for a second :P
