As we head into the end of August, things are slowly grinding to a halt in my office. Half of my department is out on vacation and the halls are eerily silent most of the day as people wilt from the heat or the desire to be sitting by a pool. However, one office in Philadelphia is beating off the summer doldrums with a little friendly competition. Food competition that is.
Red Tettemer, a Philly-based advertising agency (they're the ones who got so excited about the premiere of Mad Men that half the office dressed up and posed for a vintage-style picture) is having a take-no-prisoners guac off this Friday. They're so excited about the prospect that they've made a short stop-motion film clip of two avocado halves approaching each other, preparing for spoon to spoon combat.
This is not the first guac off I've heard about this summer, I also have a friend who works at a local medical school who planned one for some of her students. So if your workplace is feeling a little sluggish this summer, ask everyone to bring in some guacamole and a bag of chips. You'll have things perked up in no time.
