Default Ice breaker help required

So I have got a new job, same company different department, big step up. I am going to a large meeeting to met the 30 or so other people who wil be my new colleages. Although they all know each other they are based all round the country, so meetings with everyone together dont happen all the time.

The problem is that we are all required to bring an object to the meeting and as an ice breaker explain what the object is and three things it says about you.

Now I have serious case of nervousness regarding this. I cant think of anything at all to take. I obv want to make a good impression, but not something too serious that I seem too straight

The problem is made worse by the fact I have no real hobbies to speak of (might not be the best time to explain about multitabling sngs) and no decent ideas at all.

So I sincerely hope that OOT can help me or someone has faced a similar thing before and has a ground breaking idea. Cheers

I would think more abstractly. Bring something that represents your personality. Maybe bring in some type of food and explain how each ingrdient represents different aspects of you. HAve fun with it too.

Yeah nice idea, any ideas on the foods or ingredients ?

My main worries are finding attributes either real or imagined that I want to focus on.

My thoughts are two semi serious things then a jokey one to finish. My mind is just blank [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
