Jamboree

We have Jamboree this week. I didn't know whether Jamboree is actually a word or not. So I looked it up. It means a noisy celebration in the dictionary. I pictured this word as a party in my head.

Our Jamboree is that the whole team are required to be at office from 9AM to 5PM, and only do processing structures. No doctor appointment, no car service, no early child pickup, no traffic, no any excuses for a whole week. The goal is to clean up all backlogged work.

We did get foods though, that is part of the party definition. Food was delivered, so we don't need to leave our room to get lunch. Actually, it is better that we don't even leave the desk. Then we can process one more while we were having lunch! The statistics of processing was written on the board. The person who processed most on that day gets a certificate. Yeah, that is right. We are children who behave well and can get a golden star.

We have reached the goal on the end of Wed already. But what does that mean? We can do 3-4 times more than we usually do. Does that mean that we were lazy? Or does it mean this is the proof that we didn't work hard enough? In any cases, We can never win.
