Where do you draw the line between having a good time and cracking down to get work done? How do you balance fun in the work place?

The company you work for is essentially your home away from home. Our time spent at SHM almost equates to the time that each of us spend in our own home (kind of weird to think about it that way.) However, all that really means is that you should present your personality and be yourself in the workplace. When you start your day in the morning, you should try to lighten the mood. Starting off the day on a good note tends to make the rest of the day much more enjoyable. Having a negative attitude in the workplace will do nothing but affect you and those around you negatively. That is why it is important to try to be positive at all times. Work doesn't always have to be work, however. Occasionally, a little fun in the workplace can be beneficial for the company and its employees. When the moral is down or the office seems to be complacent, those are the times when it is appropriate to have fun. Having fun at work is a good way to change it up a little bit and boost moral. And with a boosted moral comes increases in quality and production.
