Cohesion

This weekend there was some social cohesion amongst several personnel from my work force.  At times people think "why would I want to hang out with folks I have to see all day?"  Well....because.....it's important.  A person that can work and play together will more than likely accomplish the mission in a timely manner.  You have a better chance of achieving task cohesion.  Unfortunately, if you dislike someone you tend not be as  motivated to coordinate your efforts as a team to achieve whatever goal that has been set forth (not me though....lol). 
  Let me also say, as it is important to have social and task cohesion it's all about balance in the end.  For instance, too much socialization can lead to insubordination.  You have to find balance in your life (work, home, self......).   Enjoy the pics.


What better way to bond with your peers and subordinates alike with a pitcher of yummies.


Maybe not a pitcher, but certainly yummy......once you get past all the head in there. 


So, I had to take the train.  All by myself.  I was a little intimidated at first.  I don't like doing things by myself.  I was successful though.  YAY ME! 
We start off at some restaurant that I've never been to, but it's definitely a place I would go back.


Even though it was a good time, I don't know why I continue to put myself in positions like so.  I always get picked on.  It's like I'm always reliving my middle school years.  :( 
That's okay.  After throwing some back I saw lips moving, but words were not coming out.

We later head to The Hub which was not far from the restaurant we started at.

Once we had our fill of The Hub we head over to the nearest karaoke bar to end our night.  I love karaoke!!!!  Well, once I get that liquid courage in me.   
 

Remember the whole spiel I mentioned above....well....the guy on the mic that is not japanese is my XO and the chinese dude is my 1SG.  We make up a great command team.  I'm pretty proud of them guys (tear).

I often had people tell me I wasn't a team player. I said, "That's right! I OWN the freaking team! You play by my rules and to please me or I'll send you to another team!"

Then we'd go have a beer or three, I'd get stinko, stinko and barf all over the place. The guys would feel superior (as all junior people always do towards their superiors). And then they'd do things my way. Works for me!

HAHAHA! That's great dad. I think your way truly works too, but you have to have the right personality to perfect it! You certainly did and it worked.
