Contest, Part 2: Well, the day of the judging finally came; and the member of our team that was forbidden to participate in building the house because she was going to be one of the judges got some unsettling news... HR decided to not use employees as judges, they were instead, going to bring in people from other firms to come in and judge. They thought this would be fairer. But what wasn't fair was that the person who couldn't help build, and who now couldn't help judge, would also now not be able to partake of any winnings that we got. Fast-forward to when the judges came; they looked around and said "I thought we were just judging door decorations"... well, they made their decision and we ended up with second place. So we all got a day off with pay. But not the girl who was going to be a judge but wasn't.
