Chair Soccer

We are moving to a new office building so the facilities in this office are dying. We had internet outage for almost the entire day and that stopped all work because we access the work programs over the internet. We spent parts of it running some errands but got bored soon. That's when the game of "Chair Soccer" or "Chair Football" was born. Basically we have really nice chairs at work that have excellent bearings on all the moving parts. You can sit in it and with one push can spin around for 5 rotations! Similarly if you sit in it and push yourself off, the chair rolls all the way to the end of the long conference room we work in. So we decided to pick up some random plastic item and kick it around without getting off the chairs. You move around the room by propelling the chair with your feet and you shouldn't use your hands at all. We marked the goals and kicked it off.

In about 15 minutes we were sweating a lot (inspite of the hall being air conditioned) but we kept playing for an hour atleast. And that my friends is how we pass time here when there's no boss and no internet!
