Today at work was the annual Egg Drop contest. I didn’t figure it would be as hilarious as it was, but it was. I also didn’t think that I would get involved, but I did. Everyone was supposed to prepare and entry and “register” by 12:00 PM of the previous day.

Anyway, everyone was getting ready to go outside to get started. They were bringing out the ladder and everything. I was just finishing off a Sprite from lunch, when my manager looks at me and says that we should enter. I was like “are you serious?”. She said she was, and pointed to my almost empty Sprite can. Then she ran off all excited. There were a few other employees there and I looked around and asked “is she serious?”. Yep, she was dead serious.

So, off I went to the break room searching for a can opener. I got one, popped the top of the can off, gave it a quick rinse and handed it to her. She stuffed it with some paper towels or something and that was it. He carried some tape outside which we would use to tape the top back on. She was serious. And, as I should have expected, at the very last minute, when we had to climb the ladder, she hands me the can and says “go ahead”. And just like that, I was representing our department. Lovely.

There were some other very creative entries. Most of which consisted of and egg deep down inside a cardboard box stuffed with all sorts of different padding. Those were the ones that made it to the end. Our Sprite can actually made it to the third (3rd) round. After that, the were getting fed up, because some of the other people’s stuff seemed indestructible. So, round three (3) was smashing the contraptions into the ground from on top of the ladder. We actually made it to the third (3rd) round.
