Yeah, Right

My Dear Fellow,

Around the back of my office building you can find these peculiar things. 

Because I am stupid, I thought it was a swing-set for the kiddies, but then it occurred to me that very few toddlers are employed in banking.

On closer inspection, it turns out that this is open-air gym equipment, for use when the sun is shining and there is no rain. As you can see from my picture, even that is a bit optimistic.

But I suppose it is part of the "quirky", "groovy", "we-want-to-be-Google" side of the company. In addition, every mirror in every bathroom has the phrase "Go ahead. Make your 'supercool' face. No-one is watching," written on it. 

This is accompanied by a lot of fun posters and regular fun events. I say "fun". I'm sure I would have loved working here in my 20's. As it is, every event just reminds me what a grumpy old effer I am.

Maybe I am not alone. I've never seen anyone on this equipment. I mean, why would you? It is RIGHT IN FRONT of the canteen windows and everyone could see you making a right nana of yourself. I have seen ironic smokers sitting on it, but that's about it.

Maybe I'll be rebellious and go out there and use it one day. Then everyone will know how 'supercool' I am.
