Today was the annual Tomax Easter Egg Hunt. That’s right… a bunch of software/retail geeks running through the parking lot for maybe 60 seconds to gather as many plastic eggs as possible. I think someone said there were over 200 eggs this year. There ended up being about 30 people.

And yes, yours truly did participate. I stood at the back doors with everyone else for 10 minutes before the doors were opened. Grown people trying to weasel their way to the front of the line.

There was candy in the eggs, but there were also about 20 eggs with pieces of paper in them corresponding to prizes. I gathered twelve eggs in the front of my shirt and returned to my office to count my loot. Twelve eggs, and only one had a prize. Last year I only got 4 eggs, but two of them had a prize! Not bad though, not everyone got a prize. So I now have an extra $25 to spend at Redrock for a date night.

Think this sounds too insane!? Gordon was kind enough to video tape the entire session again this year. You can see the video by clicking here. If you look carefully, I’m the guy that runs out at about the 10 second mark in the yellow shirt! Thanks Gordon!
