- Where can I get coffee?
- How do I connect to the internet?

We arrived 90 minutes early to the workshop, and my colleagues had two questions:
Look at how effectively the team is building their ability to ignore each other, taking preference for electronic personas instead.
Mind you, I’d rather spend all day on a computer than at a team building exercise anytime. Remember that episode of The Games?
To be fair the team building hadn’t begun, and the level of interaction is higher than it initially appears. One of my colleagues is reviewing my paper, another is watching a video on teaching that I recommended, a third is sending some documents to a forth that they need to discuss, a fifth is organising taxis and buses for everyone to get back to the airport … And they had been talking for the four hours it took to get to Oslo, during which time they had been forced to maintain internet silence.
And yes, I loved ‘The Games,’ and remember that episode in the Blue Mountains.
