I wanted to say something to this effect, but my hand puppets were back home in their drawer.

Team-building exercises. It’s bad enough that we all have to work together day in and day out; do we really have to work on our working? It’s like starring in a bad Fellini movie but with worse coffee. Beginner: Take a vacation day. Intermediate: Take a sick day. Expert: Take a personal day.
