The Office Games

Posted by Joe Somebody at 10:45 AM

Once a year usually during fall the company I work at will hold corporate games. Which includes things like basketball, tug-o-war, and things like that. They also serve beer at this thing too. I have been at this office for almost 5 years now, so I have been through 4 of them by now. We are not allowed to partake in the game though since we are vendors. Anyways we always thought someone would get hurt, but every year we came out of it unscathed. Maybe some heat exhaustion, but nothing serious. NOT THIS YEAR.

A few security guards went out to where they were holding the office games, and as soon as we got there someone was saying that someone else had a burn and that they were looking for us. Well we ended up finding that female and she had got a rug burn on her knee. Which I thought was hilarious and made a joke about it as soon as she was out of earshot.

So we thought that was the excitement for the day. Not a chance. We are sitting in the shade watching everyone else make idiots of themselves and we see these people running towards us, calling for us. They said someone was hurt really bad. We went to where a crowd had gathered and when we got there we saw this guy laying there with his knee looking a different direction than where it was supposed to.

We called 911 and had them show up to come and get this guy. We don't have anything for that in our little medical bags and the last thing I was going to do is move him. So they get out there and start working on him when we get another call about someone maybe having a broken ankle.

Thankfully EMS was already there so they wouldn't have to go far to pick this girl up to if it became a problem. She ended up just having a sprained ankle, but everyone else was freaking out. We gave her some ice packs and she said someone was coming to pick her up to take her to get X-Rays.

They ended up calling off the office games after that though since they don't need anyone else trying to get workers comp. So I think this was the last office games that they are going to hold. Which kinda sucks because I liked the free food, since they wouldn't give me any beer.
