I'm honestly not surprised; let's say I know several people who work similarly back home. Not in the name of any sort of corporation, mind, they were working toward something else, but the idea is the same.

I'm also not unfamiliar with these..."picnics" of yours, if they are what I think they are. I know of someone who quite liked that sort of thing.

[Several someones, really. Many of them are dead now, of course; the one he's mentioning specifically is likewise dead now. But still.]

Do go on, however.
