The nervousness in the air at Speed is palpable. Tuesday next week is bring-your-kids-to-work-day.
Those with children are worried about how they’ll behave and those that don’t are concerned about the impact that ten new faces between 1- and 13-years old around the office will have on their working day.
I will almost certainly be the first person to have a tantrum.
It seemed like such a great idea when it was originally planned. Having just sat on a call to run through what we’re going to be doing during the day I’m not so sure.
But that’s the point. It’s an experiment. It’ll be an opportunity for us all to see a difference side of each other, whether child, parent or colleague.
We’ve media workshops planned, mood boards to create, social games to test and the launch of a new game to plan.
I am sure that it’ll be great. My daughters will be joined by some of the other Speed offspring to blog about their experience here.
