Offsite Here, There, Everywhere
Offsite /of-'sIt/ (noun), not located or occurring at the site of a particular activity; in HP terminologies, an offsite is a team building seminar, outing/swimming, or any out-of-town leisure/vacation activity that caters relaxation and recreation for its work-force.
The HP GDPC's SAP-ADSI Team (Applications Development and Systems Integration) held its Summer Offsite at Subic's Grande Island last June 1 and 2, 2007. It was my first HP offsite since being hired last April 16.
Almost 300 people - divided into 5 teams, appropriately named after five (in)famous Pirates of the Caribbean (Hector Barbossa, Edward "Blackbeard" Teach, Cruikshank, Jack Rackham, and Spiredyke) battled for the ultimate championship through accumulated golds earned by winning pirate games, fashion shows and team combat competitions.
New hires, like me, presented another dance number also known as "The Baptism of Fire". Our stay in Subic also saw us enjoying the buffet, indulging with free flowing SanMigBeer, girl-scouting/chick-sight-seeing, having photo-ops, playing in the "Stanley Ho" poker tourney, and celebrating the birthday of our dear PD/A Manager Mylene.
Even with insufficient sleep or no sleep at all, this offsite is one hell of an out-of-town trip.
