The Jugsaw Puzzle was the final, and I daresay quieter last leg of the 2010 staff engagement intiative. I attribute this, in part, to the fact that we were all well fed (from a congratulatory party held for Rachel on her recent reclassification to Technical Services Manager), on cake (yummy choclate), tarts, chips, nuts, Martinelli’s sparkly. A very rich food fare for any activity in the afternoon. But promptly at 2:15 the game got off to a lively start, everyone rapt in attention and trying to match together 300 minute puzzle pieces. At the end of the alloted forty minutes there were clamours for more time from all, as 45 minutes just was not enough apparently. In the end all teams manged to put together some semblance of an almost completed puzzle and we had a winner.
Here are the specifics:
Teams
There were four teams (three teams of three and one team of two):
Team 1 Rachel, Juan and Peggy
Team 2 Andrew, Adam and Arlene
Team 3 Viasha Frances and Cheryl
Team 4 Kathleen and Dot (somewhat of a disadvantage as reflected in the results)
Results
Congratulations to Team 2 (Andrew, Adam and Arlene) who won the competition and were eager recipients of pink (or was it fuschia) and blue colored ribbons. Second placed winners (also receiving ribbons) were Team 3 Viasha, Frances, and Cheryl (yea). Third place winners were Rachel , Juan and Peggy and fourth (perhaps reflective of the fact that there were only two pairs of hands devoted to the task at hand) Kathleen and Dot.
Thanks to the organizing team Kathleen, Arlene, Peggy and Dot who graciously allowed me to take some of their time to plan the congratulatory celebration. Thanks to Andrew for taking the pics, and a big THANK YOU to Dot who not only supplied the four boxes of puzzles, but patiently bagged all the corner pieces. I wonder what would have been the results if we all had to start from scratch without the corners…
