Dodgeball! DET Office Smashes Opponents With Flying Objects

Dodgeball2.jpg

The organic cagers met again last night for our weekly pick up basketball game.  Representatives from all walks of Organic showed up to the Abbott middle school gym to battle for boards, drop some dimes and make some buckets.  We all enjoy the camaraderie and I don’t think I am the only one who appreciates the exercise but there is competitive tension generated in each game that is only natural.  In the past this tension was diffused and forgotten with a few high fives and “good games” exchanged before we all depart… but no longer. 

Since the discovery of a basket full of dodge balls in the gym locker, after the games stop the war begins.  I think Patches O’Houlinhan put it best: “Dodgeball is a sport of violence, exclusion and degradation”.  What better way to close out the evening than singling out the guy who scored on you and smacking him in the face with a foam ball?

(We are always looking for more basketball players – if you are interested shoot me an email)

About AllHands

At Organic, AllHands is a word that we have used regularly. It has meaning to us. It’s collaborative, speaks to whole teams, and it’s a term deeply rooted in our culture—as it is what we call our local office meetings. At AllHands meetings, we share completed work, celebrate successes, and welcome new colleagues.

We have created the AllHands blog to capture the spirit of these gatherings and to give the world a view inside Organic—who we are and how we work. It’s a place where all Organics can share their stories and experiences with each other and with you.
