The End
TEX-HUNG-GREEK!!!
(short for Texas, Hungary, Greece)...
TexHungGreek was our team name at this last weekend’s OptiMonk team building event. Our team won first place in a hilarious game where we had to act out and guess the names of various music songs. Thank goodness my colleagues were awesome at this game because I didn’t do *rap. Although, I did come up with the choreography for the Beyonce song “All the Single Ladies”
The Nyiregyhazi zoo, water park, and recreation area is worth a weekend visit. I’ll be planning a weekend trip here with my family sometime in the future as it’s not that far from the Romanian border.
Next week I will be attending various events in London. I’ll be sharing my process for how to get the most out of in-person events on LinkedIn and sharing details here as well.
Have a great weekend!
