Merlot Team Turns Plastic Toy Lizards Into Competition
If you’ve seen the blog in recent months (what am I saying? The blog is only months old.) You may recall a post about George and Sid, the plastic Komodo Dragons adopted by Matt and Charlene. They’ve become somewhat of an internal mascot among the group. So, like all good things in this office, we’ve turned George and Sid into a competition. Here are the rules:
1.) Each Monday, George and Sid will be hidden around this office.
2.) The “hider” may NOT hide George and Sid in a drawer or cupboard. Furthermore, George and Sid should be somewhat visible in their hiding spot. How visible is “somewhat” visible? Well, that’s open for interpretation by the hider.
3.) George and Sid must be hidden together.
4.) If George and Sid (remember, hidden on Monday) are not found by the end of the day on Friday, the hider gets 10 points.
5.) However, if George and Sid are found during the week (or at least by EOD Friday), the finder gets the ten points. If two people find George and Sid at the same time, they can split the 10 points or battle it out in an arm wrestling competition.
6.) The finder will then hide George and Sid the next week. If George and Sid are not found by EOD Friday, then the hider can decide who hides George and Sid next.
Any questions?
Here are the point standings so far: Jana: 5*; Tiffany: 5*; everyone else: 0
(* Tiffany and I are pretty awesome, so we elected to share the points.)
For those of you who are wondering, Rob hid George and Sid last week. Pretty clever, too. He hid them behind a magazine rack in the lobby.
I have hidden George and Sid this week and I can tell you, it’s going to rough for all the people in the office who are looking. I have chosen a wicked awesome hiding spot! And I give no clues, no hints and I don’t play the “Hot & Cold Game.” You guys are on your own. Good luck. I look forward to owning 15 points after this week is over.

To be fair, you also have let people know the competition is on. If you’d told me two weeks ago, then I would have found them two weeks ago. Even while I was still on vacay, I would have found them.
