El Servicio Smackdown

Hola Amigos!

I figured it's been quite a while since I wrote about happenings in "The Office" so I figured I would give an update. We've welcomed a new guy onto our team. For right now, he's still considered 'the new guy' until he's completed initiation. I still haven't figured out what it's going to be... any ideas?

Marty, the 'new guy', transferred down from the Salt Lake Campus. He worked up there as a team lead also. I tried explaining to me that there's only room for one of us down here but he transferred anyway.

Marty and I worked together on coming up with a competition between co-workers. Our office does pretty well with those. We wanted to boost productivity so we figured there is no better way than to pretend we are Mexican Wrestlers... LA LUCHADORES!!!

If you've seen Nacho Libre than you can imagine what's been going on in our office the past two weeks. We kicked off the competition by doing a Nacho Libre potlock. Flan was not included, thank goodness- but we did have a lot of chips and salsa! :)

At the beginning of the competition, we surprised our co-workers by decking out the office in mexi-decor and assigning them an alter-ego. We named the competition El Servicio Smackdown (trying to focus on customer service for our students). Now I know you don't want to read about the competition rules so let's just get down to the nitty gritty and introduce our new mexican pseudo personalities....

WELCOME TO EL SERVICIO SMACKDOWN!!! (It's a spanglish nightmare)

I made an executive decision and decided not to post pictures of mine and Kjirsten's wrestlers.... their costumes were a BIT inappropriate so we had to draw on some modest clothes. Not worth posting... So- onto the men!!!

Here is ABISIMO NEGRO (reflecting our one co-worker that brings diversity to the office) Joe, the midget hawaiian/samoan/acts like he's black.

Here is JUAN JALISCO, JR reflecting our manager Jon. The stance on this man resembles Jon during Happy Hour at work... it's creepy.

Next up... LAREDO NINO!!! If you knew my co-workers than you would easily be able to tell that this is Spency Pants. It's weird because we had no idea that Spencer wrestled on the side, I'm just glad his pictures are posted all over google images.
EL SANTO represents the new guy, Marty. No resemblance... whatsoever.

DEL RIO DIABLO is the one and only Brendan......we think it stands for the river devil- or devil river? We're not quite sure. All we know is that pink is Brendan's favorite color so we assigned him this wrestler.
And last but not least... Joe Bowcutt. Joe is the oldest guy in our office. We think he's in his 70's or something. We love him but man is he old! Unfortunately there aren't any old mexican luchadores so we had to settle by finding a picture of an old guy in a wizard costume. We tried translating "old fart" into spanish but all we could come up with was MEJOR DE CACA!!!!!
We are both pretty proud of the name. Mejor de Caca leaves on his mission with his sweet wife in one month!!!! We're trying to convince the church to use his luchadore name on his missionary tag. I don't think the people in the phillapines will care.
