After this week, I am tired. Playing the game was interesting, and as we got further into it, I felt like I was meeting resistance with that of my own department colleagues. It is difficult to keep those on board (no pun intended) who are giving resistance and not just give up on them and move forward without them. This also relates to my department in that I WANT to help those who are behind, but I don't feel the effort or motivation to keep them involved.
On that token, the drinks, food, and company were nice, and it was an interesting way to examine the "goings-on" and what others have to deal with when trying to implement new and positive procedures into the school district. For example, I can only imagine, NOW, the lengths that it took to get the educators in our district on board with the Positive Learning Communities (PLC). The change is necessary, and for the better, but now I can see where the stress resides!

It seems that you are living the "game". I hope that the simulation provided insight into the barriers that you are facing in you situation. The food and drinks were a bonus. I was impressed that you had the discipline to take home left-overs. My meal was spectacular. I have quite had nachos like that before.
