Well it's traditional here for the firm to have a summer outing, and yesterday the agency jumped on buses and headed out to the set of Dirty Dancing, I mean New York Athletic Club in Pelham, for a day of sun, sport, swimming and socialising.
To prep us for the day everyone was given a towel, a water bottle, a mimosa and a swag of magazines. When we got there (think guest house from the The Shining without the maze) it was all you can eat games, bbq, tennis, frisbee and pool lounging with cocktails in hand. The English, Indians,Bangladeshis and Australians even got a game of cricket going.
I was a tad freaked at the prospect of being bikini'd in front of all my work colleagues and wondered whether people would actually be by the pool, but what was I thinking? This is America and it seemed that nobody cared about that awful prospect, and people went for it. So I flopped in a banana lounge, played a game of Scrabble (there are disciples everywhere) and sipped on dark & stormies til it was time for karaoke.
The highlight? For lunchtime dessert they brought out 5 types of pie, plus cheesecake, chocolate cake and brownies. And me having the sense to refrain from singing Billy Idol's White Wedding as my karaoke pick.
