New place, new people, new fun!

The first week at my rotation in Cincinnati was spent in the marketing department. I had a great project and it felt good to have something hands on that I could contribute to. On Friday, marking the end of my marketing rotation we headed to Buffalo Wild Wings for Happy Hour!! Well, happy hour turned into happy night. We spent the duration of the night drinking good beer, talking about music and boneless wings versus boneful wings. 

For some reason, Friday night rolled right into Saturday morning which happened to be the annual company golf outing. What better way to meet people! I signed up to volunteer with setup, take-down and food prep. Five minutes before the shot-gun start, the head honcho arranging everything asked me if I knew how to golf. "Well...I've golfed all of about 4 times." This was enough for him. There was a team of two that needed to be "evened out." What I didn't know was that this meant that one of the guys golfed pro for about 10 years and the other guy just golfs on various leagues about 3 times a week. 

Lucky for me, the Gods of Golf decided to grace me with their presence. I tore up the course (not literally) and our team ended about 7 under par. woohoo! Sadly, my skin wasn't in as good of hands as my golf clubs. Considering I thought I would be inside all day, I was not properly sun screened. I fried. Lobster red fried. But the golf luck was enough to cut the burn. 

But the fun can't stop there! Several of us decided to head to downtown Cincinnati for some drinks and the Ohio State game. Before making it downtown, we stopped off at Matthew's place and managed to catch a good view of the city from his awesome condo rooftop. Yes, the black ghost like figure is me. 

From rooftop to dance floor. We made it into the famous Lodge Bar for a good 80's band with a side of a hip hop spinner. We danced til they closed!

Just because the bar is closing doesn't mean it's time to go to bed. It was necessary that we played wii bowling into the wii  (haha) hours of the morning. Matthew needed to perfect his strike for our United Way campaign bowling tournament. 

Sunday was the day for sleeping. And sleeping is what I did.
