We decided that one of the newer employees - who has really been getting pounded this week by all sorts of strange situations - really needed some time out of the office to regroup and just hang out.
So two of us decide that the three of us should order in lunch (sandwiches from Erbert & Gerbert's), and go out into some other area of the building to eat it and talk. The idea worked great, mostly.
You see, my building only has 2 chairs in any common area. They're near(-ish) the vending machines one floor up from our office. And, as luck would have it, one of them was being used for a nap. So we just kept climbing the stairs. On the fourth floor we didn't find any chairs, but we did find a very large open area, so we spread out on the floor and picnicked.
We vented about work. We chatted about non-work things. We ate our sandwiches. And, amazingly, when we went back to work none of us were in the mood to throw in the towel and go home for... well... forever.
I suspect there will be more luncherventions in the future.
