Fantastic Fridays

Here at FanBox, Fridays are especially enjoyable because we like to do some fun things to finish the week on a positive note. My friend and coworker, Brian, sometimes says “TBIF” instead of TGIF, for “Too Bad It’s Friday”…. Because at FanBox, the work is actually fun! So Fridays always mean good times and a day full of action!!

Around lunch, many of the FanBox employees head to the stairs at the San Diego Convention Center. We run 100 steps as many times as we can in 30 minutes. Our true competitive spirit shines when we run stairs; I hope to beat my personal best of 13 times and achieve 14… That’s 1400 steps in only 30 minutes! Our resident Olympian, let’s just call him “Mega-Byte Mike”, ran 28 ½ last week. …. But he is a professional speed walker (seriously), so we kinda expect him to be super amazing. Not only did he manage to run 28 ½ stairs, but he also had time to pick up a business card from another young professional (ooh la la…).

By the end of the day everyone gets together to eat, drink, and play some sort of game right here at work. Ahh, Fridays how I love you!! The stories are comical, weird, and somewhat scandalous so stay tuned!
