As you might imagine, working at SparkPeople is pretty amazing. Not only do we get to talk and write about healthy living all day long, we get to interact with our wonderful and inspiring SparkPeople members. Plus we get to work with a really incredible group of people. The SparkPeople team works incredibly hard to keep building new features to help members reach their goals, but we practice what we preach: All things in moderation. All work and no play is not SparkGuy or SparkPeople's way. When we get the chance, we step away from our desks and have a little fun. From the software guys' midafternoon foosball games to the pushups challenge that Rachel, Nicole and I have been pursuing and our Friday afternoon Wii games, we try to have some fun in the office. And while we're serious about healthy living, we don't take ourselves too seriously. So when our Software Engineering Manager, Paul, took paternity leave, the other guys in the "tech" department decided to surprise him with a new office. With a newborn and a ridiculously cute and intelligent 3-year-old daughter at home, Paul was bound to need some privacy and "me time" at the office. And that's just what he got. (That's Paul in the main photo on this blog post!)  Paul's desk was turned into a fort (or a padded room, say the pessimists in the group). (SparkGuy thought you'd love to see this!)  This is perhaps the second best desk makeover here at SparkPeople. Another co-worker's desk was shrinkwrapped while he was on vacation. He just cut some holes so he could use his keyboard, mouse and other necessary items and left the shrinkwrap intact. His desk was clean and all wrapped up for weeks! From the folks at SparkPeople, this has been your daily reminder to not take yourself too seriously. Do you take yourself too seriously? How do you kick back and break loose? |
