It is my belief that every good relationship/dynamic should have priorities set in place: Self first, Loved ones, Work and then Dynamic. My Sir is very good at making sure I keep to these priorities, in that order. When it comes to my work, He also makes sure I keep to a healthy work/play balance (sometimes He needs to tell me to stop working or that I am pushing myself too hard).
Anyway, apparently my CEO feels the same. We have a monthly Team Building Workshop which is usually so boring and I feel it's a waste of time. However, yesterday that was not the case. The theme for yesterday's workshop was Play HARD. Yep, that was EXACTLY the title and I could not stop giggling.
When the instructor would say, "play a video game" or something specific, I could keep my composure. But he didn't use specifics much. It was more like:
"You need to play more often"
"You should play HARDER"
"Block time in your calendar for Play"
I mean geez! And as mentioned, I could not stop giggling, tears were running down my face, and as I looked around the room, there was not ONE person who had the "gleam" in their eyes to give away that maybe they're in the lifestyle too (they don't know what they're missing). One of my colleagues and I are very close friends, she is aware of my lifestyle, and as i giggled, she kept saying "stop it". I couldn't, nor could I wait for Sir to call so I could tell Him my new Play Time rules from work. Sir laughed, but He does take job performance very seriously 😉, so when He sees I've scheduled Play Time in O/our calendar, I can just say: It's work rules, Sir. 😂
Remember, it's healthy to Play Hard and to Play Often, but always play safe (and be sure to get your D's permission, or get your employer to implement Play Time rules 😉😈😂)
