A night at Gameworks!



Last night, Blue employees invaded the local Gameworks with their enthusiasm and competitive spirit. The team showed off their basketball skills, before moving on to hold an air hockey tournament. Though all of the employees displayed their basketball prowess, Ashley reigned above them all with her incredible basketball skills.



The air hockey tournament got off to a competitive start matching employees against each other in multiple intense matches, with many ending in ties. The competitive spirit from everyone involved created an evening fun of fun and excitement for all. Despite intense games and the danger of flying pucks, we can't wait for the next office night!

St. Patrick's Day BBQ

This past Saturday, the Blue team gathered at the home of Manager, Nicole's house, to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with a cookout. Everyone joined in the festivities by donning their best green attire, even sporting some holiday accessories!

All Blue employees and their families were invited to join in the fun, which included great food, good times, and enticing conversation! Tons of delicious options were grilled up for everyone to enjoy, and people were also able to enjoy some yummy chocolate chip cookies.

Though the food kept people busy for  a while, the NCAA tournament was playing for all of the sports fans in attendance. The tournament sparks heated conversation and debate over which school was better, and which team would eventually reign over the others, as champion. As the Blue team is constantly working together, in the office, they enjoyed the ability to display their competitive spirit!

Thursday night at Laser Quest!

After a long day at work, who doesn't love to spend an evening of competitive fun, shooting their coworkers with laser beams? At Blue, we know just how to let off some steam after a long day! The team was off to LaserQuest last Thursday to enjoy an fun, but competitive game of laser tag.

Upon arrival, each person got to create their own code name. Following name selection, the team learned the rules of the game, and grabbed their gear. However, everyone had to recite LaserQuest pledge before being allowed to enter the darkened arena.

Soon, the Blue team was divided, placing coworkers against one another, in an intense laser battle! Three teams battled it out for the winning title, but only one could be named the LaserQuest champion. After an awesome battle, the teams shed their guns and vests, and anxiously awaited the announcement of the winning team...the Red Team!

Though winners and losers had a great time, everyone learned an important piece of information from the evening. Everyone will be keeping DWebb on their radar from now on, as the highest scoring Blue employee at LaserQuest! Maybe those Canadians aren't as peaceful as we thought!

A Roast to Send Off Randy and the Raleigh Team

Last night the office held an event as the final farewell to Randy and the other Blue team members heading off to Raleigh, North Carolina. After work, everyone headed to La Margarita for drinks, pool and darts before the main event began. "The main event" consisted of a roast of Randy, where he was made the center of attention while people poked fun at all of his 'short' comings. About 7 brave members of the Blue team prepared some not so kind words for him.
After everyone had their chance to make fun at Randys expense, the goodbyes began. After the realization sunk in, that about a third of the office will be relocating to Raleigh, the emotions flowed and TONS of pictures were taken.  The team couldn't be more excited to see their team members leave for Raleigh, and watch as they reach all of their goals in North Carolina. Congratulations again Randy, we'll miss you, here in Schaumburg!

Xtreme Trampolines!!


Everyone showed off their jumping skills this week at Xtreme Trampolines at Friends and Family night!  If you haven't been to that place, definitely do because they have a giant foam pit people can jump into that is impossible to get out of.  They also have a trampoline dodge ball court and multiple trampolines set up in a grid form.

Some of the guys had a relay race from one end of the trampoline grid to the other, tripping and falling as they went.  Amir Ross seemed to have the rhythm down to fly to either end and always won, while we found out that Hinton Huckabee has a little bit of trouble jumping from trampoline to trampoline.  It was hilarious watching him try so hard to beat Amir, but to no avail.

The night ended with a "rap off" between Jubilee Olah and Mike Jones (quite the opposite of the rapper) about what lunch meat-oh how much fun we have.

Tune in next week to find out what we will do next at Blue Inc!

Happy Birthday And A Happy Farewell To Kristy And The Crew!

 Last Thursday the office was privileged to celebrate two big accomplishments. First being Kristy having another birthday, and secondly, Kristy receiving her manager promotion.  After the work day was completed, all of the office went over to La Margarita to celebrate. The night centered around last minute good byes and lots of best wishes to the crew. 
 Kristy and six others will venture up to Milwaukee to run the new branch. Only being an hour or so away, we hope to see them as much as possible, and again, we wish you all the best of luck!
