Playgroup | Creativity through play

Ok, so I've now been at Playgroup for 7 days - That's approximately 3,150 minutes working so far. And it hasn't felt like nearly that much. 

I've walked approximately 14,700 steps to get to work, in 4 different pairs of shoes. I've drunk around 4 litres of water from the Playgroup water cooler, had 5 cartons of orange juice, and 2 cans of diet coke.

I've been introduced to 7 projects, been to 3 brainstorming sessions and met 16 of the lovely people who work here at Playgroup. I have 12 things on my to-do list, which seems like quite a good number, I have already lost 1 pen, and I have read 1/2 a book on play. 

All in all, I have had lots of fun so far, and upon discussing with a friend over cocktails tonight our roles in our respective jobs (he working as a client manager at a bank, myself here at playgroup) we came to the conclusion that Playgroup is pretty much perfect for me, and being an Excel hound is quite suited to him. Mostly due to the fact that at Playgroup I have an iMac, and people don't look at you strangely when you have cupcakes as your background instead of the classic green windows hill.  I have also learnt that when you mention a "swiss ball" in conversation, people think you are talking about profiteroles, not the big bouncy things we have in the office, which can end up with rather confusing yet amusing results. 

If you add up all the numbers in this post it comes to 17,898 and 1/2 . Which is a testament to the fact that I can do maths, even though I can't read analog clocks.
