Trust Fall
A table, cookies, pop-its, paper cups, the Intern, a COO, a CFO, the CEO, and perhaps the worst birthday party ever. At a first glance, the activities seem to be pleasant; pin the tail on the donkey, beer pong, and charades; but, it becomes quickly apparent that in a culture where time is money, and the ultimate currency is time itself, it becomes quite difficult to enjoy yourself. This ordinary office party becomes a very unordinary day in the lives of the party-goers, challenging them to engage in themes of friendship, humanity, purposeful-existence, and to let go of the clock. Happy Birthday Mr. President is a cautionary tale, and a reminder of the simple joys of life. And, if you don’t like it, you only spent an hour of your time–but you did spend it.
