Who are you? (Who who, who who?)

I took part in a team building event yesterday based on CSI. The event was organized by L(earn)2, a company known for their award winning team building activity Save the Titanic. The CSI experience was rather well done. I was impressed by the organization and creativity of the program. We had many "forensic" activities including fingerprinting, interrogation and gathering evidence from various crime scenes. There were even samples to be collected that could be sent out to the labs: the test results relayed to us on the cell phone we carried while running around the site. The way they used the affiliate area was rather quaint and logical: we actually went to the labs to drop off lab samples; crime scenes were staged in a number of areas: including the murdered VPs office, his car, the cafeteria - culminating with the scene of the death - a tape outline surrounded by scattered evidence in the gym.

Our group was rather... interesting. For the most part the group members were having fun and enjoying the spirit of the day. There were a few people who took it a bit too seriously though. They conducted good cop-bad cop interrogations of the people running the stations (using an unfocused but surprisingly intense line of questioning). They were two steps away from ransacking someone's office "to look for more clues". One guy even went so far as to taste some of the powder found at one of the "crime scenes". What he hoped to determine from that particular scientific venture is beyond me. I'm sure that investigators do that all the time in real life though, so who am I to judge?

Wincent actually tasted some "special sauce" in my office with the smoke screen of "looking for more clues for his CSI team-building event".

Turns out, we were in the men's room of Remington's and the CSI team-building event was actually "Amatuers Night".
