I love how you split it into shallow and then deep thoughts. True, that isn't the best look haha but then who really cares so much at a company team building exercise?
It must be frustrating for every "that guy" out there because it must be rare to find someone with the same level of enthusiasm as them about winning and defeating others. But of course, we gotta keep our emotions aside especially when the purpose of the activity is anything but winning.
Thanks, I've enjoyed experimenting with the format - I've got a lot of different things going through my head on a given day, so it's nice to break it into the mundane details of life and some (hopefully) higher-level insight.
I've known quite a few of "that guy" and always feel a bit embarrassed on their behalf when things get out of hand. If only they had a little perspective.
