Sun sets on 200

It was an outing for the remaining staff at 200 University. Most of the staff was home assigned, so all the contractors had an afternoon off to go see a game that looks like cricket, but way more boring, in a 20 year old landmark with new rubberized turf that reacts like the real thing, instead of that carpet that causes rug burns.

I almost didn't make it to the game. I was the only full-time sun employee that didn't have a ticket. I also realized that I need to filter my email better and sift out those that come from people on the RPE PMO staff.

Lesson learned from Mo.
So I took a photo of the two guys that would have left me standing by the gate while they went in to enjoy the game.

Good thing Mike is my manager, he's always watching my back. He had my ticket, so I made it in. And Cheshmak flagged us down to sit in the prime seats that Robert stamped it-double stamped it.

Mo's trying to use his black belt powers to will a ball over to our seats. Then he started applying metrics to determine why the game was so dull. He had never seen a baseball game so we had to explain what an inning was. That's where I stopped cause once we got in we realized how hungry we were and went in line for food. Then we saw that a hot dog was $3.50 and a combo value pak was $6.52.

What a rip-OFF. I couldn't stand it. We could have had a spicy italian street food for $2 bucks. A loonie for a pop. Just outside those gates we walked in.

When we tried to go out security prevented us from satisfying our hunger. Mo even tried to use some vulcan logic to get us some sustenance. But they failed to understand him. Must be his accent.
So this is where we sat. See where Mo is pointing. Just to the right of that black thing was the remaining folks at 200 University. Right field bleachers under the restaurant.

Mo had never seen the Jumbotron, and he was so impressed with the clarity that he's now made that his standard when looking for a new tv. I think he was thinking of how he could mount it on his wall with the ability to tilt it with as little force as possible.


There was even this guy with a huge lens. You know what they say about the size of a guy's lens.





Good thing we stuck around for as long as we did. We even got money to buy food.
But we couldn't fill our stomachs with amount we'd get in the Rogers Center (aka Skydome). Even if we pooled our money we wouldn't even begin to satisfy Mo. He's a professional eater.

So the Jays lost. Seems like every Toronto team is losing these days. Must be contagious. Like SARS.
I think it was because of the dude that proposed in the seats behind home plate. He jinxed the team.



Then on our way back to the office we saw this famous canadian tv personality who'll probably be the next much music vj. Or some nobody on Train 48. Robert watches that show. Because he rides the GO.

We didn't know who he was. Doubt if we ever will.

So this is how it ends for the 200 University office. With a nobody. Next couple weeks we'll be moving to the Markham office and a stones throw to lots of chinese food.
Great.
Hope there's a toilet close by.
